Who says you can't add your own lick of paint? Taking the ACE 16+ Purecontrol Ultra Boost and giving them a custom black sole, Federico Maccapani — aka MBROIDERED — has brought a tonal touch this hard-to-come-by football to street sneaker transformation.

Completely tonal sneakers have never been hotter. It was only recently that adidas officially issued its Boost cushioning in black, after maintaining that it could only produce the foam in white. Taking the game at his own pace, Mbroidered has created an entirely black colourway of the adidas ACE 16+ Purecontrol Ultra Boost that raises the bar with unrivalled custom character. This special hand dyed finish adds a personal touch to a shoe that's fast becoming a must have in anyone's sneaker rotation.

Some description

Never afraid to add his own touch or pose a 'What If?' way of thinking, Federico's work in the shape of MBROIDERED continues to push convention and blends football with fashion, delightfully. Going to show how subtle tweaks can go the distance, this Ultra Boost instalment is another fine showing that will leave you wanting a little more sneak in your life. Good luck getting anywhere close to an official pair though.
