The exact shoes Carlos Yulo wore on the 2024 Paris Olympics podium
At the 2024 Paris Olympics, Carlos Yulo embedded his name in Philippine history as the first Filipino athlete to win back-to-back gold medals for artistic gymnastics.
While the entire Filipino nation has been celebrating the 24-year-old's win and the honor he has brought to the Philippines, some netizens also couldn't help but be curious of his outfit when he received his gold medals for floor exercise and vault exercise, namely the shoes that he wore.
On X (formerly Twitter), the public's interest in the shoes Carlos wore on the podium was palpable. Social media users were not only curious about the shoes, but some even expressed their desire to own a pair as a symbol of national pride.
If you’re one of those people who are curious about Carlos’s shoes, they're the latest Ultraboost 5 from international sportswear brand Adidas.
Initially designed for runners, the Ultraboost 5 is a cutting-edge creation, featuring a light boost midsole, which reduces weight, enhances cushioning, and boosts forefoot energy return.
The Boost-packed midsole offers higher responsiveness and cushioning in the heel and instantly bounces back to its original shape as a runner’s foot hits the ground, allowing them to go further while expanding the same amount of energy.
Retailing for P10,000, the Adidas Ultraboost 5 is a unisex pair in a white and gray base with expressive spark orange color pops.
Carlos bagged the gold medal for the vault finals at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Sunday evening.
This comes at the heels of Carlos’s historic gold medal victory in men’s floor exercise on Saturday.
Several celebrities have shared their pride and joy for Carlos, including Vice Ganda, Vicki Belo, Michelle Dee, and Anne Curtis, among others.
We celebrate you, Carlos!
