I'm just riding the wave on this one; instead of spending over what they're truly worth, I'm just going to wait it out.

I'm hoping that this sweatshop site is legit too before I order, I'm US and I don't quite understand what they're saying about the shipping.

They are legit with a good reputation. Since they are in the UK they use DHL to ship to the U.S.

Which ones are you looking for? There are other sites who have them below retail shipping included. I've been able to get most of mine from 130-150 except for the whites those I paid $170ish with BD link and coupon code.

Not the same poster, but I'm looking for the all blacks or the core blacks with the purple heel on them in a size 10.

For anyone looking, Champs Sports has a 8.5/12.5 available in the black/purp colorway right now online. No discount codes though.

Been lurking this thread for a while. Decided to finally create an account to chime in and share my story of an Ultra Boost addiction spiraling out of control! Recently got myself 3 pairs of the white UBs! 2 I got from a BD link using a 20% off code (didn't even know what a BD link was at the time, lucked the **** out). The 3rd pair I managed to snag at the adidas store in Culver City during their most recent restock (last week) and was also able to use a 15% off code for those in store! So I kinda made out like a bandit. (Was initially only going to get 2 pairs but all the horror stories of BD links on here convinced me to run out and grab another pair for safety).

Regardless of my white UB bliss, I wanted to chime in on the question of how the women's sizes compare to the men's. I have two pairs of UBs in women's size 11 (og core black and wool core black). The og core blacks were actually my first pair and I bought the women's 11 thinking it would equate to a men's 9.5 (my normal size) since I was stupidly going by a non-adidas size conversion chart. Luckily I was mistaken since the women's 11/men's 10 adidas conversion fits me perfectly in the UBs. There has been a question of width difference and I can say for sure that the women's sizes are indeed slightly narrower than the men's. But the only part of the shoe I can actually feel the difference in is the heel. Since the rest of the shoe is so pliable, the width difference is negligible in the forefoot, but the heel in the women's fit a bit snug at first. After about a week of wearing them they formed to my feet and now feel no different than the men's pairs I have in the corresponding size. Basically, if you're getting women's UBs, get your normal UB size +1 & don't size up extra anticipating a much narrower shoe.

Also, as far as TTS vs. .5 size up argument goes, I got a pair of the white/green kolors in a 9.5 and they fit nicely overall BUT, the first time I wore them out, walking briskly, I noticed my little toe bumping up against the plastic toe cap inside the shoe. It didn't hurt, but it was a bit annoying. I've since taken the insoles out and now wear them with thicker socks which strangely enough seems to solve the problem of feeling the toe hit the cap, I guess the thicker material acts as a buffer between toe and plastic. In all honesty though, as much as I love the UBs, I think that plastic material in the toe box is a design flaw and am hoping they can fix it in future releases. But I haven't heard anyone else complain about that ever, so it'll probably stay the same. I know the plastic piece probably needs to be in there to give the toe box its shape, but if they just maybe gave it a softer finish by coating it with some primeknit or something along those lines, it would probably solve the problem.

Ok, I could go on forever, and I have a lot to say about the wools vs. non wools but I'm not trying to write a damn novel right now.

Also wanted to extend a thank you to all the crazy people on here obsessing over these shoes the same way I am, this thread has been very informative.

tankdayglo tankdayglo thanks for the enthusiastic post bro! Welcome to the thread.

To add on to what you discussed about the plastic part in the toe, you're definitely the only person I've ever heard complain about it. Everyone's foot is different tho so you probably aren't the only one, but yeah, I doubt adidas will fix that unfortunately.

grey would be a nice one to add to my collegiate navy. I would do the white too.
appreciate it if something can be found in the 130 range

were you the dude wearing Kolors when you went to pick up your pair at Culver City?
 
I feel the same about the toe box plastic. Once in a while I hit it and it does get a bit annoying
 
Anybody here go to an Adidas outlets and find any UB's?

Never really bother with Adidas outlets unless im looking for soccer jerseys, so not to familiar with there shoe selections.
 
stopped by couple stores today in Las Vegas:

Adidas flagship

display was a 9. they had 2 separate shipment restocks of the white boosts..... 

(1) restock was size 8.5, 10-13 (10/7/2015)

(2) restock was size 9, 9.5, 10  (10/12/2015)

i got my pairs on the (1) restock:

here's a photo of the (2) restock:

also checked out finishline outlet and they had mens OG purples $149 (display was a size 10, didnt ask for sizes)

something i found from www.kickposters.com --- super dope frame-sized posters

cheers!
 
I guess I will hope for the EU restock on the whites.. love the blacks so much I need these if I get them for retail.
