The MOST COMFORTABLE Ultraboost Yet? adidas Ultraboost 5 Review!

[@heskicks]

Thanks for watching! If interested 🚨Buy adidas Ultraboost 5 bit.ly/3VYodZy

[@YosefElgart]

I see they put less and less rubber on outsole

[@martmeister]

This is the wrong link. How do I get the UB5? Not the 5X.

[@heskicks]

@@martmeister this is really interesting. I’m not sure why they changed the launch

[@paocivic]

Please also review the ultraboost 5X. Thanks.

[@Scuderia11052011]

As an UltraBoost fan, the reason behind the name “5” is pretty much straight forward. 1 refers to the original, or you may call, the DNA, both caged and uncaged. 2 refers to 19 and 20 that share similar design. 3 refers to 21 and 22 that also share similar design. 4 refers to Light that is visually distinguishable from its predecessor. 5 = the latest model that’s also quite distinguishable.

[@datos82]

Nailed it

[@jochang9012]

Or... 5 for 2025 cause they actually had Ultraboost 19 ,etc

[@OneBrokeBloke]

Im a bit confused. I owned a Ultraboost 3 back in 2019. Are the "21 and 22" you are refering to not years or?

[@dennisd1892]

Yup kind of like 5th gen 😂

[@garrykirklandii8371]

A UB5 versus UB5X comparison video would be awesome. It “seems” like the UB5 is the more casual version (with cage) while the UB5X (no cage/17 grams lighter) is the runner focused model.

[@amai_zing]

Really smooth colorway, and love the midsole. My biggest hesitation is the tongue - one of the things that drew me to the UBs originally was how the silhouette lended itself to easily slipping in and out (in addition to the comfort)

[@RGR465]

As an Ultraboost fan (casual use) I like that they didn’t make it crazy soft like NB 1080 or Nimbus 26 I think the amount of softness on the previous model was the right amount and IMO the 5 or the 5x looks so much better than previous models too. Can’t wait to get my hands on the triple black color for these.

[@daviddelerce13]

Lifestyle ?

[@theq937]

Bummer I was hoping it could match the cushion of the Gel Nimbus 26. I switched over to that this year and I would have liked to get back to the boost because of how nice they are aesthetically. But man nothing can compare to the comfort of the Nimbus

[@RGR465]

@@theq937 I had new balance 1080 v13 and they are crazy soft I felt unstable on them I didn’t try Nimbus because of how they look , the good thing about ultraboost they’re very stable, comfortable foam and best part that prime net is so fucking good to my toes 😎.

[@Scuderia11052011]

right bruh, many idiots out there have no idea what they're talking about. If you want super crazy soft midsole, go get Nike invincible run or Adidas Repetitor. Ultraboost is not meant to be super soft, or else it defeats the purpose of energy return.

[@MiracleWarriors]

Last year , the shoes I used to ran the most was the Ultraboost Light. Was so comfortable and also very versatile that I was addicted to use it a lot. But it had two things I did not like and that should be improved : the grip for the toe off was not enough and the foam off the forefoot was a bit too little. Now with this Ultraboost 5X Adidas put more foam stack and made a larger area of Continental rubber for toe off ! Now this model is on the top of my buy list !

[@wez1925]

Waiting for the Goretex Trail outsole version of these 😎👌

[@raulpalmaa]

I always come back to your channel when I want to learn more about a sneaker

[@garrykirklandii8371]

Fantastic video! I’m interested in the UB 5X for easy runs, walking, and casual. It’s kind of crazy that Adidas has the UB5, Supernova and Adizero SL2 which all seem to be for the same kinds of runs with lots of overlap between the shoes. It’s like they made the “same” shoe for different consumer markets/tastes.

[@johnc7054]

I have been waiting for this review ty!

[@Shintikibob]

Well explained. Well defined. Outstanding review Hes!

[@americantroy77]

Soft and squishy normally means pain in the heel for me as my feet lean. I took your recommendations on the Invincible Runs a couple years ago and that shoe revealed that I have supination. Most recently bought a pair of Asics Nimbus 25 and samething. I always go back to the ultra blue because they give comfort and stability so my feet don’t lean and I am hoping these the same sturdiness as the other ultra.

[@ser1ification]

Maybe you should look for shoes in “support” or “stability” category. Though they are mostly for overpronation not supination. Newest stability shoes like Saucony Guide 17 or Hurricane 24 don’t push you from one side but tries to keep feet in central so those will hopefully work for you.

[@americantroy77]

@@ser1ification thank you I will look into those right now

[@urbanproductions4852]

I have a few pairs of the ultraboost 21 very comfortable shoe, easy to wear casually but im glad they got rid of the chunky heel with the ultraboost 5...looks alot better

[@audioparanoia]

Hope more colorways to come, i like it.

[@urazoktay7940]

Amazing video, i enjoyed it thoroughly, thank you Hes.

[@CT37BN]

Passed on the 21, 22's but am surely going to grab these (there's also a 5X version - more stack height). Liking it a lot. Saw a black upper/dark grey-pink midsole colourway. Tops to Adidas in addressing the lack of midsole boost in the forefoot area.

Big Ultraboost fan I’m looking forward to trying these. I really think the 19 and 20’s are the comfiest but the 1 and 4’s look the best. I wish they would combine them and make the ultimate Ultraboost.

[@xXxRAPrapxXx]

My first Ultraboost shoes is the 4 before 19 model and now i got the 5 in triple black

[@anolinio7693]

Great review as always.. 💪💪💪 I will definitely buy the triple black version.. The only think that i wanted fom this model to be perfect was the tongue that you also mentioned... I love the original UB puffy tongue... Other than that it looks and probably feels great

[@GORE-TEX-77]

Thank you for the video ❤

I hold it and yes it was super light compared with OG UB. Thr foam doesnt look like boost though😊

Hope you'd try the adidas runfalcon 5 which is a teardown model of the ultraboost 5 which uses cloudfoam, and the ultrarun 5 which is another takedown model that uses bounce 2.0 cushion. Thanks for the great reviews always.

My favorite ultraboost is the ST version. It's wide with detached tongue. I have three pairs from 2017 2018 and 2019. They are still in good shape (the glue they used really good). Adidas needs to bring the ultraboost st back.

If you compare with the Fresh foam more V5, wich on is more confortable, or are they similar ? Thanks, great review as always.

[@tedbergeron8241]

Where would these rank in your Disneyland scenario? For low prices, the adidas outlet near me has 50% off the UB light plus a coupon of 30 off 150 plus you can add your credit card to Rakuten to get another small rebate back. Sadly, they don’t carry wide which I need.

[@richardbrady1849]

best silhouette on an ub by far

[@pjfanaccount2158]

The 5 looks more like a successor of the XPLR_boost than the UB light

[@chrizzis77]

I much prefer this new iteration of this UB and I even like this color way. Never really cared for the oversized off set heal look of some of the previous versions. This is a buy on sale but I’m not a fan of this new crazy pricing of almost $200 for a regular shoe. I realize this shoe does offer some things but there is no crazy tech and this shoe really seems to lean towards the casual crowd over the performance crowd. I like it for casual but at this price there are better options for performance even from Adidas.

[@wonkydonkey7899]

I read that 5 and 5x are two different versions of the latest ultraboost.

The Ultraboost Light has a more modern and updated appearance.

[@cesarasdrubal8371]

The og ultra boost is the best looking

[@philsvideos4509]

You mentioned that you prefer 1.0 tongue. Can you compare an old original 1.0 vs a new 1.0 from the store today? It's strange but I've found the upper has changed and now the new 1.0 actually hurts the top of my foot while the originals that i have in my rotation are all fine. I think something has changed. I'm regards the 5, i think it's one I'm definitely getting. Waiting on some more neutral colours to show up at my store. Not a fan of the coloured sole.

[@bryantramos2382]

Why kind of pants are you wearing when u were showing off your shoes?

[@martinmagnia314]

I think they look like the duramo speed shoes, although I have no idea how the duramo speed feels I suppose I would prefer these new ultra boost considering the tech in the shoe.

[@blvcxsvntv]

UB5 over the 5x FOR THE CAGE!

[@4035darryl]

I think that the naming is based the big changes in the ultra boost line, the 20, 21, 22 and the light boost. All of those got the junk in the trunk!lol This would be the fifth in that lineup.

[@jcollins2826]

Nice review. It looks good.. I have a question though. Yesterday I tried the UB lite in. Y size (14). My big toes were rubbing a little on the sides. Ultimately I went with a Boston 12. Is this any wider at the big toe area?

[@mannonsm]

Are these reflective at all?

[@PHX9494]

I like the new style tungue

[@sweeyong7756]

I use my ultraboost for gardening and landscaping. I use it for running as well. Been looking for a replacement with full rubber sole for longevity. Was thinking of nb rebel v4 or adidas boston. This one might tick the box.

[@njabulojobe8345]

I never liked the 21s- 23s, might the 24s, the look good👌

[@bitterboyblue]

without watching the whole video yet, my immediate impressions were it looks more like the X_PLR Boost's midsole

[@tasandmnm69]

You said the midsole is softer/squishier than the UB 19/20 but what about compared to the back in the day super comfortable and cloud like UB1s?

This really lacks the Boost capsules. It looks more Lightstrike than Boost. The toebox looks like it is trying to emulate the 990v5 or other similar dad sneakers. Lastly, the outsoles look more Pureboost than anything.
