Here’s a look at the latest Japanese stitchwork silhouette for the new year; the adidas Ultra Boost 2021 “Sashiko” expected to release in the upcoming months. The namesake harkens back to 6th century Japan with the word meaning “small dots.” Who better to take on the patchwork theme than Parley the Ocean and Primeblue? Primeblue contains high-performance recycled materials. To break it down, half of the Ultra Boost upper comes comprised of their 75% recycled textile yarn. Deep Ocean, Navy, Grey, and White Sashiko patterns dressed the silhouette gorgeously. Additionally, the translucent lace cages, heel clip, and outsole enhance the design. Subsequently, the White Boost midsole pulls everything together. Overall, the adidas Ultra Boost 2021 “Sashiko” looks breathable, stylish, and most importantly good for the environment. Be on the lookout for these kicks to drop soon retailing for $180. Until then, enjoy the images below and keep it locked to YankeeKicks.
