The adidas Ultra Boost - one of the hottest silhouettes on the market right now, thanks to Kanye - was given a makeover by an adidas employee.


Till Jagla, Category Director, Customization, at  adidas and one of the individuals that spearheaded the highly successful mi ZX Flux program, took to Instagram to share what he'd done to his pair of Ultra Boosts. Dubbing his creation "Blood Runner," Jagla removed the TPU cage for a sleeker, more minimalistic appearance and colored in the Boost midsole making for a clean two-tone custom.

While Jagla's latest work is pretty dope, this isn't the first time an Ultra Boost has been customized. A couple weeks back - another adidas employee, who also happens to be a well-respected customizer  in his own right, Chris Hui - also stripped the Ultra Boost of its TPU cage, but opted instead for a "murdered out" look as he colored up his Boost midsole in black.


Both customs are great and considering they're both adi employees, it makes these customs even more interesting, since it involved removing the main branding placement of the shoe.
