Dress like an Olympian: Here are the exact shoes Carlos Yulo wore at the Paris Games
Want to level up your shoe game by dressing up like an Olympian? It's easier than you think as you can cop the exact shoes athletes like Carlos Yulo wore to the Paris Games.
When Carlos received his gold medals, he paired his Team Philippines tracksuit with the Adidas Ultraboost 5 at the podium. Armenia's Artur Davytan, the silver medalist of the men's vault final, also wore the same sneakers.
The Ultraboost 5 is one of the latest releases from Adidas. These running shoes are designed with comfort, sturdiness, and versatility in mind for athletes.
This latest shoe touts the "biggest redesign" in the Ultraboost series, which was first released in 2015. It now has a new Light Boost midsole with 9mm more foam under the heel and forefoot for more cushion, more comfort, and less weight.
It has also been fitted with a Primeknit upper that molds to the foot's shape and movements for a more comfortable experience when running, and a Continental outsole for better traction on surfaces.
The Ultraboost 5 comes in eight different colorways including Cloud White with Glory Gray and Lucid Pink (the one Carlos wore), Spark with Halo Silver and Lucid Lemon, Core Black, Cloud White with Crystal White, Core Black with Cloud White and Off White, Crew Orange with Bright Royal and Semi Flash Aqua, Cloud White with Dark Blue and Lucid Blue, and Carbon with Iron Metallic and Lucid Pink.
The shoes are available for P10,000 in men's and women's sizes through Adidas outlet stores and its official website.
Another version of the sneaker, the Ultraboost 5X, comes 17 grams lighter for the same P10,000 price. (with reports MJ Lopez)
