Tigo - glad you got them. Hope i helped. The Reds coming look dope - and saw some white/blacks today in NYC behind the scenes that are extremely nice if they release.

Absolutely, man. I took your advice and just stuck with the 15.

I think the 14 would have had a little more space than the EB2s, but not as much as I wanted. The 15 might be a hair longer but my foot is snug and secure. No heel slippage and I'm not dragging my toes. Very pleased.

Got them in yesterday and put them on for this mornings workout.

The fit is tts, maybe a little snug, but as the workout went by, the primeknit started to stretch. The cushioning is very good, somewhere in between soft and firm, but a very nice ride. I did not experience and heel slippage which is a first for me and what I look for in a running shoe. Not once did the show feel uncomfortable or unstable. As the person above said depending on how you like your shoes to fit, go tts or a .5 size up.

The ultra boost are worth every penny and for me the best running shoe that I have ever owned. I will be getting more colors.

I don't remember but has there been a Pure Boost with a colored sole/mid-sole?

is the upper supposed to look like those patterned socks? i'm not feeling that pattern but i like the colored outsoles
 
What type of replacement laces are similar to the original ones? Want to swap out the colored laces for a black pair.
 
got a chance to try on a pair of ultraboosts tonight. The size 15's were good length wise but man they were snug in the toebox. I could probably get away with them without socks or insoles but since I want to actually do some running in these I'll hold out for a size 16. According to adidas that size is in the pipeline
 
Can't wait for this to come in stores already as I really want to try them on first as sizing seems to be all over the place.

Looks like the plastic cage where the laces tie-up can still be a nuance when you require or prefer a tighter fit similar to the Energy Boost 2 though, hopefully it isn't as bad.


Not my vid but he does mention the cage in the vid, not sure why they couldn't make it out of a more pliable rubber so it conforms to your foot?



 
I bought a pair yesterday from the adidas SoHo store. I was hoping to close out the weekend with a pair of Yeezy Boosts, but I needed new running shoes and allocated my money towards these. I haven't had a chance to workout in them yet, but I put them on at work this morning and I haven't changed out of them yet. These are ridiculously comfortable. I have a wide foot and normally have to size up with my shoes, but these fit well as an 11 (normally an 11.5). I'm happy to put my Nike Free Runs away in favor of these.

Kris Van Assche, Stella McCartney and Junichi Abe (the designer behind Japanese contemporary label kolor), as well as in-house creative directors Dirk Schönberger and James Carnes, have each been tapped to reiterate the Ultra BOOST according to their personal styles.

Beginning in May 2015 footwear designs from the Ultra BOOST Collective will be released throughout the year in limited quantities via select global retailers. Additionally, launch events will take place in the cities where each creator lives and works, London – Stella McCartney, Paris – Kris Van Assche, Berlin – Dirk Schönberger & James Carnes, Tokyo – kolor.

looking into buying a pair of pure boosts. from everyones experiences about how long does the boost foam last? i have heard its so soft that is compresses quicker than normal foam and doesn't have the same life span

A release pair I was wearing literally daily for months still feels good on my feet. I rotate between that one and a new pair now so I don't burn it down.

It still feels great and responsive, out of everything I own if not for a fresh pair of pure boosts, I would still go with my worn in pair, it is that comfortable.

Hey - that's ME!!!!
Yeah, too tight and it will hurt, but you really don't need it that tight to perform.
 
I'll grab a pair of 2.0s eventually, but can anyone explain to me why every single boost midsole is white? Is it a marketing decision, or is there some reason the boost can't be colored or painted (like the aj 4s)?

Nice work! I love watching vid reviews so I hope you keep making them in the future.

As for the plastic cage, yeah it won't bother everyone but for me, I like the extra lockdown feel so while I don't tie the shoe up to a point where blood flow is hindered, I do like to keep it snug and after running a mile or so, I start to feel it because it doesn't flex too well and doesn't move with my feet. It also doesn't help that I have a high instep.

I'll still try and purchase a pair though if it feels great on initial try-on, worst comes to worst I'd wear it casually because it looks pretty damn good too.

If I were to venture a guess, it would be that the material on the midsole might be too porous and it might soak up the paint and eventually affect the feel of the shoe? The boost is suppose to be individual capsules instead of one big piece of solid foam so there are some micro spaces between the capsules that are bonded together and if paint gets in there and hardens then the performance/responsiveness would be affected. That would be my hypothesis.

I know someone posted a page or so back that someone else painting the sole black but i'd be curious if it still felt the same afterwards?
