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

i hate to say it, but I think if adidas actually made alot of Ace 16's to get in people hands, people would understand they're really nothing special, and then I dont think they would be anywhere as near desired.

I never really was into em from the start but the soccer or 'football' NTers in here were going crazy for em.

Then they reported how insanely snug they were for which I assumed they fixed when they teal ones came out.

Still have the same reservations for them. There's other sample mids/uncaged they look way better that are more easily obtainable...and slightly cheaper.

Yeah they're not bad looking evene though that pic doesn't really give a great representation.

Like I said, a quick indoor pic.  Not sure what a proper representation should look like but I'm ok with that.  Dig it?  Cool.  Not so much?  Also cool.  I'm really enjoying them for what it's worth.  And if nobody out there agrees, I'll be cool with that too.  Thanks for replying!

I've met a ton of people who aren't into sneakers know what Jordans are. Or even at the least gravitate toward lunar products vs. adidas boost products for their gym shoes.

UBs is still a pretty niche product.

This is true.

 

[jpac]

They're trying. I've noticed them cribbing UB colorways. Triple Black FKRs. Forest Green FKRs. And they're trying more monochromatic schemes across all their product lines. Won't be long before they're doing glitch colorways.

Same. when they released their FKR Triple black the same day as UB Triple black it seemed obvious.

I recall the drop at FTL SF the UB TBs were backdoored while the FKR Triple Black sat at FNL while all that drama was happening lol.

Hey how is the sizing on those? Did you go same size as UB? I really like how they look and I've been looking for a new gym shoe.

Hey man, thanks!  I don't own any UB's but I went with the same size as my Pure Boosts, which is also the same size of my Adios Boost, which is the same size as my D Rose 6, my Rocket Boosts, etc.  

I only feel the need to half size down on my Nikes (Hyperdunks, Kobe XI).  FWIW!

Still surprised the haven't responded yet to NMDs nor UBs.

Once they do though, marketing on them gonna be heavy. And they'll have all their star athletes rockin em.

Think Munch is thinking of these: Just like the cobbled together NMD, Nike came out with those fugly Lunar Charge past winter.

Still haven't met a person that isn't into sneakers who knows what the hell boost is

Got my old man ultra boost and he thought glorified engineered styrofoam. Liked better than harder Nike Air though.



All their production facility capabilities around the world and Adidas came up with 30 pairs of triple black Big Nose soccer shoes. Nice.

Nice..I am gonna have to keep an eye out now for these lol. Thanks for the help!

Probably more pairs were sent to boutique accts.

Either way, can a shoe be too rare to even have any hype built around them?

These fit TTS for me. They have a detached tongue so they don't fit tight like UB.

 

[kari]

So what other sites are dropping the Aces

My pleasure, homie!  Tip:  Amazon.  These originally retailed for $220, were listed for $120, plus I got a $50 gift card for signing up with their credit card.  Also comes in a slick reflective black and silver.  Make it happen!  

 

Edit:  Pretty sure these are LTD's that were meant for overseas release too...FWIW!

 

[mrbupp]

What's up with the random Kith mid UB drops

I just looked into amazon and it looks like only certain sizes are the 120 price 

 im a 9.5-10 and they are both 220 lol. Maybe one day i can cop at that low price.

I disagree - they are way beyond the Nmd cs1 comfortrwise and I think they look fire on feet. Wearing mine all the time especially in this cold weather and besides the volt colorway imo every drop was so dope!
Will get my triple blacks and my trail boosts tomorrow - what a great beginning of 2016

That French site? Anywhere else?

​WTF dude.

Youre foolish for even quoting him and giving him attention.

Please hit me with the oop!

 

[reigning]

Lots of the small sites already released in the middle of the night EST.

Adizeros look like there's less BOOST than an NMD.

Pass.

 

[dunksbsz10]

Would it be possible to fit into 1/2 down from TTS in UB 2.0 w/o insoles??? Or would it be uncomfortable?

Wear 10 in 1.0. Thinking about a pair of 2.0 in 9.5. Feedback appreciated

 

[edshoecator]

Response? Nmds and UBS are direct rip offs of Nike silhouettes.

It's coo if you're into adidas right now but it's hilarious that you cats have to justify buying adidas by having to compare it to Nike and hype. Hypes the only reason 90% of you are buying. Bunch of wait for the masses to tell me it's cool to wear nike/jb again.

 

[frenchbreadbuilds]

To be honest I don't think Nike is going to "answer" boost the way people want them too. Too me it seems as if Nike has decided to focus more on service and bringing more shoes to more people than being trendy. also they've made the buying experience for shoes so much less painful and so much more convenient with snkrs and Nike+. Not to mention so many shoes that used to be a pain to get are now readily available. sock darts are a perfect example of that. But yeah nikes got a huge selection of fan favorites to pull from, maybe the goal for 2017 is to push those and focus on continuing to make the customer experience better. Maybe that's their answer to adidas.
