ADIDAS BOOST Thread - PAGE 1 for INFO- *NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING*

[mignaci0]

 
they didnt release to any of these , just boutiques adidas stores and adidas online 

 
Just scooped up the OG black colorway. 

 

Had to get a pair after trying them on at footlocker.

Does anyone have the footlocker sku for the white ultra boosts?

^^This guy says he's tried em on at a footlocker lol.

 

[munchy]

 
Just wondering did the white UB's release ONLY on adidas store and adidas online? Did they ever release at FTL, FNL etc? Might go to my local major shoe retailer to see if I find a pair of White UB's if they ever released there.

They did originally in June, not during this restock though.

Sorry if it's been asked but has anyone put white j&d boosts in the washing mashing? If so how'd it go

DON'T DO IT!!! I have the white J&D's the leather detail on the tongue and the materials on the cage will end up in a worse state than when you started i haven't done it to mine but the materials used on the J&D are not made for washing machines

Seconded.

The material on the cage of the J&D is actually pretty delicate, mine got dented up just from one of the laces pressing against it in the box.

****, how am I going to clean these ******* things

Are the ST's going to be cheaper than regular UB's? Not a huge fan of the shoe but like that it has the Continental sole and if it's priced less, it will probably give me more reason to get one and experiment with the cage removal.

I'm going to take them to my shoe guy and see if he can dye the upper.

I'd try with a soft bristle toothbrush and some washing detergent mixed in a cup, lightly brush the dirty knit in circular motions and avoid the leather details and cage. Don't saturate the sneaker do it in stages or a couple of times if needed. They will never look brand new again white sneakers in general are a nightmare to keep clean.

It's hit or miss http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/forum/gear/has-anyone-used-runnerinncom/257156.html

Is hand washing even an option? Also, maybe include a waterproof pre-treatment for the leather part then rub a leather conditioner/restorer right after?

Think I saw a price point of $180 somewhere

 

[sortanew2retro]

I'm up to 20 pairs of Boosts. It's all I buy or wear now.

I have a problem.

That sucks. Was hoping they'd be a bit less.

 

[liquidkicks]

any of u guys own climate chills? how do they compare to these boosts?

Climachills are more comparable to Pureboosts. Only with a lighter breathable upper.

20 pair? There hasn't even been 20 colorways released. You buy that many doubles and triples?

 

[sortanew2retro]

Ultra Boosts, Energy Boosts, Pure Boosts. Majority being UB though. Only doubled/tripled on white UB's and white EB's but just counted that as 1.

I'm with you 11 pairs of UB's now, plus Pures & others. These are my 'go to' sneakers now.

That's a grip of Boost lol. I used to do that but before I knew it I had no clue what or where I had ish. Ended up only wearing the same two or three.

My bad guys for the poor communication, but I'm on the hunt for these. 

View media item 1745750

Saw these waaaay back when and they somehow just disappeared. I'm with you man, I want these too

I'm on the hunt for those royal blue joints as well...I slept on them. I was waiting for them to dip below retail many months ago and now I can't find them anywhere at all. Very underrated and underappreciated CW imo

Totally agree now I'm ready to purchase them at full price, but can't find them anywhere. 


I wish it was a 10. 

I wish it was a 10.5. I slept too long thinking there where gonna hit the disco.

Yes, you guys are all right on this one. This is an awesome colorway in person and underrated. Googling images of this colorway is what made me want to get a pair. I got my sz10.5 pair from Ebay just about a couple months ago and I'm glad I did. Now they are pretty much very hard to find.

On the other hand, I could not agree more when people say that the comfort on these UB's are next level from competition. I have the White UB's, Royal Blue UB's, Collegiate Navy, Core Black, Grey and OG's. Currently only wearing Core black colorway casually and it just feels awesome. With the bottom sole wearing down so fast, it makes me iffy on UND's the rest of them. I would really have a lot of problem spending $180.00 on a pair of sneakers that seems like won't last you a year even for often casual wear. Might end up getting rid of the rest of my pairs smh.

I forgot to mention, I already tried Jason Markks on the toe area of the shoe and all it did was spread the dirt and yellow the knit after it dried up. I tried to use as little water as possible and wiped off the soap before it penetrated.

Yeah, I'm happy I got this colorway when I did. Pre-Yeezy hype, these sat on ADC forever next to the Black/Purple pair. Just a case of people sleeping.

it's sad that the sole of the shoe ruins it from becoming the greatest running shoe ever, but it's still the one of the best casual shoes of all time for me.

23Goat you're my size, lmk if you do decide to let them go. I currently have the black and white UB and need to add more to my rotation, especially that Royal.

Just missed a random size 12 white UB on adidas.com by like 2 seconds
