Adidas First debuted this shoe in 2015 and has paved its way to being "The Greatest Running Shoe Ever" as said by Adidas. The shoe has stayed true to its title and is the number one choice for runners and Sneakerheads. Currently, Adidas has put out over 300+ different colourways. Personally, I have 5 pairs.

Weather Performance
How does the shoe do in different weather conditions? Well as of right now basically all ultra boost can not with stand liquid as the primeknit will absorb the liquid. The company has created an All Terrain Shoe, which they said would do better than a regular pair of Ultra Boost. I have seen the shoe but never actually put it to the test. Just From looking at it, you can see a rubber toe box and a reinforced Primeknit. I would say the Ultra Boost is meant more for a casual Summer shoe.Running / Training
The Ultra Boost was really meant to be a runner. The comfortable and breathable Primeknit Plus the reactive Boost technology allows for it to be a great running shoe. The Continental Rubber Sole allows for good grip and longer-lasting use. This is a great shoe for neutral runners in the city and marathons since it really isn't meant for harsher terrains. Personally, I run in this shoe during all different weather conditions.
The Ultra Boost Which is best for running is the Ultra Boost ST. The ST is much more stable than the rest of the line. If you're doing Dead lifts or other types of weight lifting, the normal Ultra boost is unbalanced and won't keep you stable. The reasoning is the full-length midsole of boost will try to come back to its original shape and you would be fighting with the springy TPU. The ST will give you a bit of stability, but it might still be Unbalanced.
