That's a question for adidas.

Apple does it all the time. A macbook pro will retail less once the new generation is released with updates. Its still called a mackbook pro model, just a different generation. If the nomenclature isn't from Adidas than that makes sense what you said.

That's an incredibly flawed analogy but if you really want to make that comparison, which doesn't seem apt at all to me, when a new macbook comes out, the older ones are in much less demand. It's the opposite w/ the Ultra Boost 1.0 vs 2.0.
 
Was just confused is all, but if they're literally just new color ways then I guess I get it (even though by nature of changing to the Continental soles it kinda makes them a successor :lol: )

Yes you are confused.

Not all UBs w/ conti soles are considered 2.0, Chalks, MGs, 3M, CNY, Rainbow LTD and a bunch of collabs all have conti soles and use the OG knit.

In fact, a bunch of gradients released without anyone using the term 2.0. It wasn't until they repeated colorways like the core black that people started using it. And at first it was just for that colorway, they'd say Core Black 2.0 to differentiate from the 1.0

That confused people and now suddenly we have tons of people just referring to all gradients as 2.0 when it's not really correct at all.
 
When the creams restocked I wasnt so hot on the navy pair but after seeing them for a while they're not that bad. Can do without tho

What I can't find is any wool grey or silver pairs in my size for non-rape

Many have said to contact them for a better price.

 They will do $180 shipped via direct paypal invoice if you live in the US I think. Might be more for those living outside California since they are located in LA.

By the way, thanks to Ashed on here. He is going to proxy me UB Royal Blue 1.0 in sz 12 from the store in Bangkok. These are impossible to find in the US in sizes 11-12. I think these look 10x better than the 2.0 Royal Blue. Pictures below.

You have no idea what you are talking about:smh:

The Alphabounce is very comfortable and is a very structured shoe.

As far as comfort and stability I would rank it right below UB, Pure Boost/Rocket Boost, and Adizero Prime Boost.

It's a nice entry level shoe for those who are on a budget or just don't want to spend $200 for a gym shoe.

There is nothing wrong with suggesting a different model other than boost in a boost thread.  No one is trying to derail this tired ***** thread

where people come in and ask the same questions over and over.

Just cus I dislike a shoe I dont know what Im talking about... right.
No one will change my opinion about them, why does it irritate you people?
Ive tried them on several times at the store and I simply just dont like them one bit. Its not like
im just looking at pictures and hating, I gave the damn shoe a chance several times a couple weeks ago and I dont understand the hype.
I just gave an honest opinion to some1 asking for advice, that's all... lets keep it moving.
 
Forgot to mention it earlier. My Uncaged Ultra Boost Core Black came in today from Extra Butter ($190 shipped). Went TTS and it fits snug like the traditional UB with just the right amount of space for my toes in the toebox. So, I suppose they are definitely TTS for some even though a few people went 1/2 size up.

Received my US13 from Kith 2 days ago.

I feel that while the body is indeed a BIT looser due to the thinner knit upper, the ankle is tighter than normal UB for me.

So it's still relatively the same as UB caged for me, in terms of fit, just a tad more of a comfortable tight upper compared to UB's firm tight upper.
 
My pair of UB UC in the white arrived. 

Initial thoughts are these: 

Knit is definitely thicker than my NMD's. 

It runs kinda long. I get a snug / form fitting fit in my YZ350's in 9.5 , whereas a 10 gives a relax fit.

In these i went US10 and there is enough wiggle space at the tip. I reckon going 1/2 size down maybe a little uncomfortable.

This is because not apparent from the outside is the fact that there is some kind of foam in the heel and lace areas which gives the shoe some structure.

Not to mention if going 1/2 a size down my big toe will for sure protrude which i hated.

First time getting it in I liken it to wearing hi-top boots...the collar opening is narrow and tight. I hope with wear it loosens up a little. 

How do you guys slip these on w/o damaging the back end?
