Does anyone have a voucher to sweatshop they aren't using by chance? Please PM.

Any idea how those pro boosts fit? Thinking of going a full size down from my UB size, half down from my PB size.

Thats what someone said a few pages back. Half size down from TTS.

Back in august I bought a pair of White Ultra Boosts from urban outfitters UK, they ended up shipping the womans size, so its womans size 11, mens size 10. They still have tags, only tried on once but they dont fit. Im ONLY looking to get back what I paid for them. I paid $212, so if anyone wants to cover shipping / $212 they are yours. I live in the Bay Area if anyone would want to do a pickup. I really want a pair of ultra boosts these are just slightly too big on me .

I believe this is the wrong thread for this.

Got my pair in as well, continental sole on the creme colored boosts, very impressed with the color, super happy to have them, especially since they're an apparent friends and family release, paid retail.

Where from?

 

[ragone408]

From an eBay seller that some guy purchased from above as well. Clicked buy it now as soon as I saw them, Beautiful in person.

Yeah I think I remember seeing that but seller didn't have my size. Was it from this seller? http://www.ebay.com/usr/breakersts1?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

The unreleased Heather Greys (supposedly a friends & family release) on the right have the new continental outsole. None of the readily available UBs have the conti sole except supposedly the LTD 3Ms that are just now starting to ship from the first batch of pre-orders. So basically if you want the new outsole, you still gotta wait a little while or find something on eBay (few pairs of another, different pair of white/grey samples sold on eBay a while back w/ conti outsole).

Hopefully, seeing as the LTD 3Ms are starting to ship from RRS, adidas will officially announce & release them before the end of the year. But it's possible we won't see continental outsoles readily available until 2016.

got it. damn i really wanted a grey pair with the new soles

Good to finally see some different shots of those. Still sort of undecided but I'll probably end up grabbing a pair. The reflective 3M is definitely a practical addition as far as running shoes go.

I just asked an adidas CS rep via the online chat about the Heather Grays and he said they don't have a date for them, so nothing new there, BUT when I asked if there were any new UB colorways dropping soon, he sent me a link to these: http://www.footlocker.com/product/model:236754/sku:AQ4005/adidas-ultra-boost-mens/aqua/white/?cm=

Now we've known about that CW for a while, and I'm pretty sure that pre-order has been posted here already a few times, BUT what I found interesting is that the pair in the picture definitely has the conti outsole. When we first saw these shoes, it looked like that was going to be the case, but lately in hand pictures have been floating around of pairs with the og outsole and general consensus was that these actually might end up not using the conti outsole. Who knows, we all know how little the footlocker stock photos can be trusted and the same goes for adidas CS reps.

I'm not feeling the colorway regardless, but if you really want the conti outsole for more practical purposes, that's probably your best bet for the immediate future. You can always return them if they end up not having it...

Those 3Ms look nice, gonna be looking for a 10.5 if I can. I don't know why RRS gets these first...

 

[skep]

They tried delivering my pair yesterday but couldn't deliver since we were closed for business. Redeliver on Tuesday

3Ms?

 

[skep]

Yeah. They'll immediately go on foot

 

[solefx]

Stock pics looked horrible but I'm glad I ordered through road runners seeing those pics above

Thanks for those pics of the 3M. Immediately withdrew my commitment to copping those. Money saved.

Too much going on right there. I was afraid it was going to be just like that.

 

[burpacola]

 
Yeah we've known they're super limited for a while. According to adidas CS reps, these & the olives are not being released in the US. But we all known how knowledgeable those CS reps actually are.

Their adidas running twitter account announced it too if thats anymore reliable? lol *fingers crossed* that they come to the US eventually tho

 

[illustrayt]

How durable are the continental soles?

I've read MANY and MANY reviews with countless runners complaining about the quick down of the og stretch web sole. It really discourages from trying a pair :/

All the adidas social media accounts are kinda garbage when it comes to reliable info.

Same here the upper looks too busy. For me it just doesn't work. Maybe on foot pics will sway me but for now happy to pass on the 3M's.

I don't think anyone can really comment on durability on Ultra Boost Conti soles as they have not yet been released apart from a few samples. Having said that my Adidas Los Angeles have Conti soles with a very similar tread pattern to the OG Ultras and the nipples on those definitely wear down at a vastly slower rate than the OG Ultra soles.

adidas has other running shoes that already have the conti sole like the adizero boost so one would imagine it's been tested & approved.

3M stuff is always kinda tricky in photos. I still think they have the potential to be dope. Will definitely need to see on feet pics but more likely will wait to see them in person before I buy. If that doesn't happen due to the "LTD" effect, so be it...

Let me know if any one has a white pair for US11, really interested, thanks guys!
