The UltraBoost 19 were the first expensive running shoes I ever bought, and that was five years ago. They were $180 normally, but I got them for $130 at an Adidas Outlet store. I stopped running in them after 400 miles, but they are still very nice for walking. I would consider getting a new pair if I wasn't already full up on running shoes.

I have all the Adizero shoes now after getting the SL2 but I also have various Ultraboost shoes for casual wear and would never run in. Got the Ultraboost 5X and it's still a lifestyle shoe that is now also a pretty decent running shoe. The SL2 is the perfect daily trainer that's been missing in the Adizero lineup. The UB5X just isn't as good as the SL2 for "serious" running. I've taken the SL2 on 10+ mile tempo runs and it felt great. I would not want to go on an easy run over 5 miles with the UB5X. That being said, the UB5X is perfect for weekend getaways and taking on short business trips when I want to just take one small carry-on bag without having to pack a pair of running shoes for a short morning run.

Really wish adidas would make a shoe with a more reasonable drop. 10mm in 2024 is insane, especially as it looks like it has a rocker geometry too. I get some people heelcrash, but most don't. Regardless of where on your foot you land, a whole centimeter is far too high. Get with the times adidas, try 6mm (or less?) and I may try one of your shoes.

I hope this doesn't happen to the Ultraboost 5.

These shoes make zero sense in a rotation when you look at the Adizero lineup. The Boston 12 does everything this shoe does and can be found at a much lower price point on sale. Plus it’s got light strike pro and fiberglass rods. It’s literally good for all types of run: easy, tempo, race, you name it. The only thing about the Boston is the upper and the laces, which can be mostly fixed with ‘lock-laces’. I would not buy these ultra boosts until they go on sale for less than $100 tbh
