Do you own one? Serious question. Because the first time I wore one then the $180 price tag was justified.

"Worth" is a tough thing to justify to everyone.

$180 for a guy living in NYC making $80k is a much easier sell than a dude living in the middle of nowhere making $40k. The guy in NYC is probably paying 3x the rent but the cost of goods like fashion, tech, etc. Favor the guy making more money.

I understand. I live in a 3rd world country and don't earn as much but **** it. Ultra boost is the only shoe that made me purchase multiple cws and imo its all worth it.

I have a homie who makes significantly more money than me and he REFUSES to buy or even try on any UBs because of the $180 price tag, and he's always commenting on the pairs I'm wearing saying how much he likes them.

He says he'll only spend $100+ on designer kicks.

I told him that's fine, but one day when he finally tries on a pair of UBs he's gonna be kicking himself for denying his feet such comfort all this time. There's no way those common projects he's overpaying for are any way near as comfy. Never tried on a pair, but I'm confident making that assumption.

That's what im talking about. The only real way to justify that price tag is once you wear one.

I know people that are the same way, they think that an "athletic shoe" shouldn't be that much, especially $150+.  The only exception for them is golf shoes.  I own several pairs of CPs and they are nowhere close to the same comfort as UBs, but they both serve completely different purposes.  I usually wear CPs to work, than swap them out for my UBs since I'm on my feet all day.  At the end of the day when I switch back, it's like walking on two wooden slabs.

Lol. There some other stores that released but resellers were camping for $20 quick buck. Sole Academy is known for backdoor jobs. So I have no other choice.

I feel your pain.  I live in an area where no good shoes are sold in stores.   I'm all about that keyboard cop.

if you arent running a bot on barneys, the chances of you catching a restock on barneys is very slim, probably impossible tbh. especially now that people know that they restocked a couple of days ago.
