Adidas Ultraboost 5 x Hermanos Koumori - Where Running Culture Meets the Road
The Ultraboost 5 x Hermanos Koumori is the result of a genuine partnership between two brands that take running seriously. Hermanos Koumori, the Mexico City-based brand founded in 2018 by Alejandro Sandler and Alex León, has built its reputation redefining running culture through design rooted in Aztec and Mayan influences. Together with adidas, this collaboration brings that cultural identity directly into a road running shoe built for everyday use.
Light BOOST Cushioning Built for Every Mile
The midsole is where the Ultraboost 5 earns its reputation. Light BOOST technology uses hundreds of tightly packed energy capsules that compress and rebound with every footstrike, delivering consistent energy return across both short and long efforts. With a 39mm heel and 29mm forefoot stack and a 10mm drop, the geometry keeps the ride feeling natural whilst the cushioning absorbs the miles. A moulded external heel counter provides rear-foot support, whilst the Torsion System adds midfoot stability through every stride.
A Collaboration Built Into Every Detail
The upper blends textile and synthetic materials for a fit that adapts to the foot without feeling restrictive. A ripstop fabric construction adds durability and reduces weight compared to a standard textile upper, with no-sew overlays for additional protection. The adidas-branded lace lock and elastic band tether keep lacing tidy and allow easy on-the-go adjustments. The Continental™ rubber outsole delivers reliable grip across road surfaces in all conditions, with Hermanos Koumori's signature detailing visible through the outsole layer — a nod to the brand's distinctive visual identity.
