i wanted to dooms as well but i can't pick them over boost

Anywhere with 3m UB anywhere in 10.5 I keep missing these restocks

 

[liquidkicks]

Assuming they fit like other NMDs, go .5 down

Yeah .5 down will work fine. No reason to think these will fit any different from the other 2 NMD releases so far.

Size 8, 8.5 3m ultraboost on villa.... https://www.ruvilla.com/adidas-ultra-boost-ltd-core-black-running-white.html

so .5 down from TTS (i.e. if you wear sz 10 UB, get sz 9 NMD)?

Why is there a million pairs of 3m's and only 300 pairs of Creams...?

Can't seem to find one of those million for myself

Depends on how wide your foot is and why you size up in UBs.

I wear a 9.5 in most shoes and the 9.5 NMDs were a little too big. 9 would be perfect.

...okay... I was under the impression that 90%+ go up .5 for UBs - they just fit better that way

so .5 down from TTS?

lololol then you don't want them bad enough

Can anyone give a little review to the continental outsole? Is it better, more durable, longer lasting?

 

[3ambutter]

Adidas isn't worried about creams because the hype for them will always be high. This CW was an FnF exclusive made public due to hype. They know it'll sell out whenever they decide to drop them again

better, more durable, longer lasting

 

[rawzone]

Do the Continental soles slip in wet weather like the previous UB sole?

 

[buddhashark]

For anyone who has NMDs that are too big, slip an insole in them. They are more comfortable with an insole anyway.

 

[tankdayglo]

 
Do the Continental soles slip in wet weather like the previous UB sole?

Yeah, but not quite as much. Theoretically they have 30% more grip but I don't know how they'd quantify that.

The main improvement is the durability.

Do the Continental soles slip in wet weather like the previous UB sole?

Yes.  Despite what everyone seems to think, the Continental soles are really not that big of an improvement over the OG soles.

 

[munchy]

Ye in the J&Ds

 

[munchy]

If anyone here copped an SNS UB in a 10-10.5 and it's not their size and/or they don't like them and would prefer Creams, PM me lol

For my peeps who rock insoles, I've been wanting to try this combo out : FootPrint Insoles (thanks skateboarders) + Ultra Boost = Ultimate Walking on Clouds Experience

If anyone can test this out please do!

 

[javyLSU]

 
Yeah, but not quite as much. Theoretically they have 30% more grip but I don't know how they'd quantify that.

The main improvement is the durability.

The "30% more traction" claim comes from a function of the surface area of the sole that comes into contact with the ground.  The OG sole has "nipples" which are the primary point of contact, and hence provide the traction.  The updated soles have the flattened "pads" which provide a much greater contact patch with the ground.  More contact area = more friction = more traction.  Theoretically...

Yeah I get it from a technical perspective but there's a lot more that goes into it other than surface area.

I actually find the og soles more grippy than the continentals BEFORE the nubs wear down. Since the rubber is so soft and it has those pointy nubs the grip is really nice on the first few wears of the ogs.

But then, once the nubs of the ogs wear down to flat, they have much more surface area making contact with the ground than the continental outsole but are also much less grippy. Presumably the quality of the rubber would be a major factor as well.

Like I said, I get the theory, I just think adidas may have been selective with their data in order to throw that 30% claim out there.
