Upcoming NMD variations all look kinda wack to me.

Upcoming UBs on the other hand look amazing.

Same feeling. But at this point volume/variety is what I'm looking for.

This year's UB line was a new knit with the same colors as last year. Even the olympic pack looks like mega 3Ms.

Glad that the 2017 are bringing back burgs. Another knit pattern would be dope.

Couple QC issues w/ the red boost of course

Glue (not to be mistaken for cracking)


Cracking

It's funny, those are the same EXACT places I have cracking/epoxy issues. Might just be a production flaw rather than QC issues.

Majority seem to have it in those places too

Yup, the purpose of QC is to catch production flaws.

In the case of these uncaged LTDs, they probably just had to ignore many of the issues since most pairs had them.

Hard to ignore when people have paid $200 -$220 on them. But these are the first of its kind so it's expected.

Until they have the individual pellets dyed, people are gonna have to accept these flaws. Dunno about the epoxy leakage tho. I guess it's easier to see on color boost than white boost.

Yea having tried both .5sz down and UB caged size, UB caged size was the way to go. Sock felt way more comfortable. Still snug but not to the brink of suffocation like the .5sz down.

I copped the clear grays too but sent them back. The digi-camo or whatever you want to call the pattern on the uncaged looks a little off to me in some CWs. Looked more printed than a knit-like pattern. The solar red was done nicely with the multiple shades of red. Still have yet to see the core black and whites.

That's funny because I've been on the fence with greys too. I like the fit and feel of the uc and I came late to the boost game so finding grey/silver has been a challenge. I want a light grey/silver pair and these seem to be my best option. I don't hate them, but I'm not super hyped about them either. I think I can live with thinking they're pretty cool haha. Plus I can't bring myself to pay the resell prices I've seen, it's the principal of the matter for me. Not throwing shade on anyone who does its your money and you should spend it how you want, right? When I was into Jordans I'd scoop an extra pair of the really hyped releases when I could and throw them up at retail plus fees + shipping just to help out one unfortunate soul who actually wanted the shoes. And I did check potential buyers, on eBay you can tell who is reselling pretty easy. I just want the people that actually want to wear the shoe and like it to have it.

Yea they didn't wow me enough to keep. Fortunately for me I have the option rock a Gray wool or silver ltd.

As for paying resell, I've been #teamretail from the start and have missed on some consortium boost I really like (and also burgs/olives). Justification for resell prices vary from person to person though. It already kills me to cop these things for $180. But I'm an addict and will continue to cop.

I just got the whites, and there were a few glue spots on the boost. Luckily it's really hard to see:nerd:
 
Yeah I suspect the majority of UBs have those glue issues we've just never noticed them as much before since the glue isn't as visible against the white.

Good thing is most of that glue looks like it'll flake off w/ a little wear.

Nice, 2 great color ways.I feel you on the addict thing though. My wife tells me I have a serious problem. I tell her it's better im into shoes than doing coke and hookers. Cheaper too haha. I take care of business so she's cool with it. I've been into boost since Mar/Apr and already have 9 pairs. I'm a teacher, if it wasn't for some smart moves and a little luck I'd be in deep. Luckily for me she doesn't like the boosts and it didn't cost me a thing to find out. Adidasrunning sent us both a pair of boosts for being loyal to the brand after I told them I had switched from Nike/Jordan and they don't fit her right. She only wears Chucks and Vans as far as sneakers. Something about her arch... So that helps because Chucks and Vans are cheap comparatively. Im trying to hold out for next years pattern, but for some odd reason the Olympic silvers appeal to me. Red uc too.

My wife reminds me that I have too many shoes every time I get another pair but that's about it. I get her a pair here and there especially when something really gets her attention. Not gonna lie, we got matching J's. Now that we have a baby on the way I made my last purchase a couple weeks ago. Gonna hold out until something is in dire need but we'll see.
 
Oh **** before I forget. Adidas football tweeted out today to get ready for the next Ace 16 UB drop coming soon

Actually I think it's the other way around. Clinton, wether you like her or not, is like retro Jordan's. They've been around forever. 20 years ago they made people feel good and were hyped for a reason. Now they are cheaper quality, more expensive, old and stale. They are on the decline and people are starting to see the truth and falling for the hype less and less.
Trump on the other hand, wether you like him or not, is like the UB. He is new to the scene. He is fresh, with thinking outside the box compared to the last 20 years (of policy and politics). He's controversial like Kanye, love him or hate him. Plus he comes in a bright orange color way.
So you see, it would probably be more appropriate to say Hillary supporters don't deserve UB's. Personally I don't think political leanings preclude someone from owning one shoe or the other. Both candidates are like both shoes, they have pro's and con's depending on your personal philosophy. But if your gonna get political in a shoe thread, you should be on point. Just having a little fun on a Friday afternoon....
