If your running shoes are worn out after a long season of training, don’t put ‘em through another mile. Instead, look to Adidas' final—but massive—sale of the year for your next pair. Though there have been tons of great deals on running shoes lately, including top-rated options from New Balance, Brooks, and even Hoka, Adidas' prices have been some of the best. Today, the 3-stripe brand is serving up one of its hottest new runners with a sizable discount, but they're already starting to sell out.
The Adidas Ultraboost 5X Running Shoes are on sale for as low as $117, up to a 35% discount from its normal price of $180. This shoe is the latest evolution of the vaunted Ultraboost line of running shoes, and it’s a great pick for everyday training or even casual wear. Several colors are on sale at this price while a handful of others are selling for $135. Sizes 6 to 14 are available in many, but they're already starting to sell out.

This is Adidas' lightest Ultraboost yet, and it comes with a laundry list of features that make it a high-performance pick for running and walking, too. It’s made with Light Boost cushioning—a lightweight formulation of Adidas’ vaunted Boost foam—that delivers reliable impact absorption and a responsive ride with less heft. It’s paired with the Adidas Torsion System, a plastic layer that supports your foot while still allowing good heel and forefoot flexibility. It’s topped with a comfy Primeknit upper, and external heel supports keep your feet aligned within the shoe as you move. Finally, a Continental rubber outsole offers a gecko-like grip on the pavement and high-mileage durability, too.
Evolving an acclaimed shoe like the Ultraboost is no easy task, but Adidas shoppers report the Ultraboost 5X is a worthy successor to its acclaimed forebears. One shopper called them “super comfy.” Another agreed, saying, “These new Ultraboosts are probably the best yet…They’re very light and comfortable.”

One shopper also noted the Ultraboost 5X is a “versatile shoe for just about any activity” and loved its “generous toe box and great cushioning.”
Even if you’re not a hardcore runner, a good pair of running shoes is a must-have—they’re comfy, supportive, and ideal for long days on your feet. With its lightweight yet cushioned build, the Adidas Ultraboost 5X is a standout choice, and for as low as $117, it’s an incredible deal, too. But this discount won’t last long: Toss a pair in your cart before your size sells out (many sizes already have).
