There's a slight difference in the shade of black on the knit, the all black (black heel cup) has overall darker knit and that is the only visible difference other than the heel cup color.

Does your black heel cup pair have a bluish color in the primeknit in the toe area? Mine has one. And I have seen some pics which shows both the black and purple pairs to have that shade of blue on the primeknit in the toe area. Is it just the lighting?


I don't notice a blue hue but in some lights, it looks a bit brownish but I really didn't even notice until I put it next to the pair with the blue heel cup. I think the hue will vary with the lighting.

I see, could there be two different versions of the black/white UB's? Here is a pic of the black/white UB's that released locally in an adidas store. (You can see that the blue hue is clearly noticeable. The pair I bought online from an eBay seller also has that blue hue)

That's interesting but I do think it might just be the lighting but that does look almost like the navy pair in that pic. I'll check my pair out again later in better lighting.

Is the blue hue still very noticeable in the sunlight?
 
Hmm....I see my size is gone for the collegiate navy colorway on adidas.com. I wasn't expecting them to be going so fast

I haven't really gotten the chance to wear it in the sunlight yet. I'll check when I get the chance to wear them again. But as time passed the blue hue does seem to get darker and not as prominent as when it was new. Although I can still clearly see the blue hue still although not as noticeable as before. When I first got the shoes it looked just like the one in the pic from the adidas store. Very prominent.

If I had to guess I think this looks more like the one with the purple heel cup in your pic. That's why I thought the color of the primeknit of both the purple and black heel cup were the same. Black with bluish hue. But from your pic, the primeknit in the toe area of the black heel cup is clearly darker/blacker than the one with the purple heel cup.

I got the blk ultra boost coming in from across the water and I just ordered the collegiate blue colorway for $136 off adidas.com
 
Finally tracked down a pair of the OG Black Ultra Boost in my size from my local running store. They had one pair in the company left and should arrive Tuesday. :smokin
 
Anyone actually use them for running? It doesn't look like the rubber sole bottom would hold up good after a while. Could someone show pics if they've been using them daily for running?
 
Found the OG black/purple on sale locally but couldn't pull the trigger as I was awaiting restocks on the white ones.  I felt that I should only pick one pair as I need to curb my spending.  They're very nice in person.

Repped for this. Not too much of a difference between them. Ended up copping the navy before my size disappeared and will be sending the core blacks back once I get em in the mail.

I couldn't imagine using them for running. I overpronate so these would be a nightmare for me.

Stability is a must.

Here is a really good review from a guy who ran in the UB 6 miles 6 days a week for more then a month in extreme weather and all type of ground:



treadwear can be seen on the forefoot area
 
I know these are a custom, but which boosts are these? I know the midsole is painted, but the upper doesnt look like the grey or black pair? Trying to replicate this exact custom so want to find out!
