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

[lee831]

Only 14 pairs at stonestown though

what time are they dropping?

 

[abelp]

In terms of grip the difference is minimal but conti soles wear down MUCH slower than the og

Note that continental is a tire brand so there's a reason why they're better soles.

 

[mvpshaq32]

Yeah core blacks still have OG outsole. Just depends how much you'll wear them.

that sucks. Is there any plans to get the conti soles on the blacks?

 

[abelp]

I feel like I'm abouta crack and pay resell -- no luck around Philly.

My boy in philly picked up pairs with ease . What part are you from ?

Eventually but triple black's tomorrow have continental

Eventually but triple black's tomorrow have continental

triple blacks confirmed? w/ black boost?

 

[lee831]

Ah man, thanks for the heads up. Looks like I won't have to bite into my vacation hours and take an extended lunch. Good looking out.

But to be honest, I wouldn't even be surprised if they said that so there will be no line outside. Watch them drop it today

the physical difference between my WG 12.5s and Cream 13s is imperceptable in terms of length/width

+1 on OG soles sucking. I have only had my WGs for 3 months and those ***** are flat

How about a 12 difference? The 13 in Cream has about half an inch space in the front, but all the 12s in wool, while they fit snug in the front, the big toe sticks out a bit

Same point as a no show with any other footwear..

I have the Uniqlo and Stance no shows and they all slip IMO

Damn...  So far I've only had 2 brands that doesnt slip on me...  1 is from the Philippines 

  The other is from AEO but they wear out fast...

I've read a couple posts in this thread that there is not much difference between the two

I'm kind of with the people that say there isn't much of a difference. The rubber is virtually the same. the difference comes from the shape of the nubs on the bottom. With the Continental bottoms you get a more flattened nub than the pointed original which in term spreads the wear and the force/friction evenly across the bottoms surface. The continental are also much wider nubs too so the visual affect in decreasing material is much more apparent in the pointed narrower original soles.

One thing that I have DEFINITELY noticed is that the UB with the original soles are MUCH more bouncy. I can only explain this due to the "Crocs" affect. This is where more focused energy gives a more impact response. This is also a big reason as to why the NMDs aren't as confortable. 

DISCLAIMER: IMO

But UBs are comfortable without socks

To not show your socks

 

[ayvee1o3]

Yup. Release is supposedly tomorrow but i'm not sure what retailers are getting them.

[hipstermike]

Uniqlo no shows have rubber on the inside heel to keep them from slipping

Oh, I can't do shoes without socks. Don't care what the shoe is. I'm wearing socks. Got them sweaty feet!

I've never gone sockless with anything until UB and 350.

You sure this is accurate. There were rumors of April 15 a while back but that didn't really have any confirmation. I'd be very surprised if they actually drop tomorrow, even if only on ADC.
