In October, adidas hit the pavement with a new collection of apparel and footwear that paid homage to the Big Apple. To celebrate urban running, adidas announced the "New York Together" collection.
The limited-edition capsule features 12 pieces of performance footwear and apparel celebrating all five boroughs of New York City's running culture. Check out the Instagram video to feel the hype about the collection.

While all five shoes are worth writing about, our focus is on the adidas Ultraboost Light today. The phrase "Boost is Life" is more than a decade old, but it still holds up. Over the years, adidas has continuously tweaked its proprietary cushioning technology to find the perfect balance for runners.
The adidas Ultraboost Light 'Brooklyn' colorway embodies the iconic borough through a beautiful mix of Pink Strata, Shadow Red, and Wonder Blue. Below is a detailed look at the running shoes and a breakdown of its tech specs.

The adidas Ultraboost Light 'Brooklyn' is available for $190 in adult sizes on the adidas website. From the brick to the bridge to the asphalt, this Ultraboost Light was designed to embody the Brooklyn way and help you go the distance in comfort.
According to the product description, the Light BOOST midsole is a new generation of adidas BOOST and the lightest iteration yet while providing more energy return than ever before. Add in the Linear Energy Push system for extra stability and a foot-hugging adidas PRIMEKNIT upper, and you get a smooth, responsive ride.
Best of all, the shoe takes another step towards sustainability. The upper is made with a high-performance yarn that contains at least 50% Parley Ocean Plastic, while the other 50% of the yarn is recycled polyester.
Even if you do not live in New York City, this shoe is a must-have for runners. The tech is impressive, and the colorway is one of a kind. Stay locked into Men's Journal Sneakers for all your footwear news.
