Boost is a trademarked polymer used by Adidas, in the form of pellets which are compressed and molded for various shoe models the company sells, especially the Ultraboost, NMD, Energy Boost, Pure Boost, and Adizero Adios Boost lines of sneakers. The pellets consist of proprietary thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) that is formed into a small pill shape. Adidas collaborated with the German chemical company BASF to develop this material. Boost in itself is not a raw material and its characteristic bounciness is obtained by processing the TPU. This material is claimed to be more comfortable on the wearer's feet.
