Glendale Galleria was a joke. ROSS GALIT is the worst manager ever. Mutiple people notified the manager Ross, of people cutting in line-and i almost smacked the **** outta some fat asian kid with long hair after i caught him dogging me for reporting cutters(him
and his friends cut): i asked him what the fk u dogging me for son-and he said "what are you telling the manager?" And i told him i was reporting his *** for cutting. and he faded back like a coward REALLLLL QUICK and wouldn't even look my way.



Sometimes i feel so damn ashamed of my people. If you're gonna stare someone down you better be ready to back it up

Some will bark...but once you bark back they will stay in their place...good move.
 
A group of really chill Armenian high schoolers were in front of me and heard me say to myself, "FK sometimes i really hate my people," and they laughed and reassured me that there are those fools from every ethnicity.



The stupid asian kid also got on my nerves from earlier bc he dragged a HEAVY couch(scratching the crap outta the marble floor) just so he didnt have to sit on the floor. no fking manners or ettiquette-SMH-his parents need to be smacked.
 
Man i have a sz 10 but need a 10.5 or 11. I wish i lived closer to Santa Monica:frown: @casper do u know how many sz 11s they have left?

Have your feet been measured properly? If not, you could be buying the wrong size shoe – you’d be amazed by how many do. Allow me to explain:

The Basics

In order to find the proper starting point for your feet, you will need to use a Brannock Device. You can purchase these online or simply go to any reputable shoe store to use one – it’s a standard in the footwear industry. The main thing you need to know about this American made device is that it measures the length, width, and arch length of the human foot. Furthermore, it is highly recommended to measure your feet at the end of the day when your feet are at their largest (they swell during the day).

The Measurement (measure both feet!)

Many shoe salespeople will use the “rule of thumb” test to determine proper fit, however, this may be incorrect for most people. Ideally, the way to determine proper fit is using a Brannock Device:

Step 1 – Heel to toe of foot (length)
Step 2 – Heel to ball of foot (arch length)
Step 3 – Width of foot (width)

The most important measurements are the heel to toe and heel to ball lengths (measure both feet!). It’s not uncommon for your heel to ball lengths to differ in size from you heel to toe lengths. In this case, choosing the size that is greater is usually your best starting point.

For example, my left foot’s measurements are:

Step 1 – A size 9.5
Step 2 – A size 10.5
Step 3 – A size D (average foot width)

My right foot’s measurements are:

Step 1 – A size 10
Step 2 – A size 10.5
Step 3 – Between a size D and E (slightly above average foot width)

The Analysis

Using the above measurements from a Brannock Device, heel to toe and heel to ball, technically, my TTS is a 10.5 - again, this is just a starting point for the prefect fit. Ultimately, I find that in the Adidas Ultra Boost I prefer a size 10 fit - that’s crazy, it’s .5 down from your TTS. Indeed, numbers don’t lie, or do they? Let’s examine this further.

Size 10 Adidas UB Chalk (Production date 1/16)
Left – A little over ¾” of toe space
Right – A little under ½” of toe space

Size 9.5 Adidas UB Chalk (Production date 9/15)
Left – A little over ½” of toe space
Right – A little under ¼” of toe space

Size 10 Adidas UB Base Green (Production date 7/15)
Left – A little over ¾” of toe space
Right – A little under ½” of toe space

Size 9.5 Adidas UB Base Green (Production date 7/15)
Left – A little over ½” of toe space
Right – A little under ¼” of toe space

Size 10 Adidas UB Navy (Production date 12/15)
Left – A little over ¾” of toe space
Right – A little under ½” of toe space

Size 9.5 Adidas UB Navy (Production date 12/15)
Left – A little over ½” of toe space
Right – A little under ¼” of toe space

Size 10 Adidas UB Mystery Grey
Left – A little over ¾” of toe space
Right – A little under ½” of toe space

Size 10 Adidas UB GR White (Production date 10/15)
Left - A little over ½” of toe space
Right – A little under ¼” of toe space

As you can see, by my measurements, most UB models fit very similar. The only exception, at this point, is the GR White UB (production date 10/15). I found it to fit almost identical to the other size 9.5 UB models I own. Snug, yes, but not blood-flow constricting. Better suited for those who prefer the sockless or no insole fit for sure.

From what I gather, including myself, most people consider their TTS only from the heel to toe, ignoring their heel to ball size. This incorrect assumption can lead people to believe they are sizing up .5 or greater, but in all actuality, their heel to ball measurement could be a more accurate assessment of their TTS. For me, personally, I found that going .5 down from my (Brannock) TTS of 10.5 was the better fit for me. When I tried the 10.5 on for size, my right foot had a little over ¾” of toe space (good), but my left foot had well over a 1” of toe space left over (bad). Of course, I could have added an insole to solve this problem, but in the end, the fit of the size 10 works for me. Your Feet May Vary!

Anyone live in Seattle? Southcenter Mall Champs is expecting a delivery of boosts any day and Footlocker has Creams currently in. I called and asked for a 13 he said his biggest was a 11.5. I wear a 14 in Air Max so I'm pretty sure a 13 won't fit but im hopefull

When did Footlocker get their pairs in? I thought only Champs in Southcenter were getting them. Might have to check it out after work today.

Don't give up. Champs was being shady. I think they were going to say no at first. It wasn't on display. But he relented and said only 11 and up, only to come back and say he did have a 10.5
 
Are the Y3 Pure Boost ZG worth the price? Found a pair for retail and debating on whether to pick it up or not.

there was probably a full size run. its backdoor season out here.
 
lol I saw those guys; shoe releases are ****boi central sometimes. im guessing you were the big *** asian dude. were u able to cop? I got lucky and got the last one in my size...
 
**Bay Area**.

Valley Fair Champs has a 9.5 that has been showing in FTL and Champs system for the past 3 days even when they've been telling you it's sold out.

If you are that size, go harass them until they give it to you. They definitely holding that size for an employee but the worker is probably to broke to buy them now and has to wait until tomorrow when paycheck goes through.

All foot action received were size 11. He said they still had a decent amount. Champs still had 11 and up. How many is the question
