Never thought I'd see the day when I'm anticipating multiple adidas releases and nothing else from any other brand. Currently here's my most anticipated:

Triple Black UBs

Futurecrafts

Wood Wood collab

Y-3 Pure Boost ZG Knit (white/black)

Y-3 Kyujo Low (both the black/white & black/blue colorways)

There will probably be at least another 5-6 colorways that I end up needing this year as well, supposedly a bunch more UB collabs coming soon so only time will tell. My wallet is (sort of) ready.

Pretty much what i'm waiting on too lol

Due to lack of sleep recently, I can't recall what the Wood Woods look like, but I seem to remember at least liking what I saw last time.

I could not be more excited for the Futurecrafts.

Are the Triple Black UBs confirmed? I thought people were just spray painting their midsoles black.

I wasn't speaking of resell factor but more so that he might be able to cop at retail.

yeah hate to be a debbie downer, but the "Worldwide" release is still limited to 1-2 FSR at the most at small Consortium boutiques that have horrible server traffic. Good luck with it tho.

Supposedly they're a real thing and coming fairly soon:
BB4677 - CLBACK/CBLACK/CBLACK (4/15/16)
I'm sure that date will be very fluid though. They haven't been officially announced but that's never stopped a UB from dropping on us unexpectedly.

Has adidas even acknowledged the existence of the Irons outside of CS rep chats?
 
photo credit @rchrdmrnda  who is the man w/ some real inside info on here.

Those catalog images are always tricky to tell what they're showing, but I'm just slightly worried about the sheen on the stripes and heelcup here. Hopefully it's just representative of the fact that they're solid plastic, but so is the rest of the cage so I'm not sure why the stripes would be singled out the graphic.

It does appear that they're using the og knit pattern for the toebox which I'm very happy about.

Slightly disappointed that the whites w/ white outsole are going to have the "wave" knit pattern.

I'm with you. If the cage and heel counter are shiny, I will be incredibly disappointed.

could be shown with a gradient to differentiate between heal/cage material and prime knit. still hope.

That's what I thought too but why would just the stripes be shiny and not the rest of the cage?

Either way, if it turns out those pieces are shiny, I will still cop at least two pairs and simply paint those parts a more matte black myself.

Yeah they are using it to bring their hype up in order for people to talk about the brand and especially with social media now being such a powerful tool.

But they have to thread the balance carefully as there's only such much of a frustration people will take before it just back-fires. Lots of bad experiences from other people for most of their drops so far.

Though the fact that some colorways is hard to get is good, because those that failed to get it might just settle for the same design in another color, or just purchase an alternative model instead.

I like the fact that Racers are much easily available now though, it should have been this way.

I think in time to come, Ultra Boosts will also be easily available like that, in order to maximise the sales.

Yeah my wife wants UB's, preferable grey or black monotone, but will take basically anything other than the wave pattern knit. She's been trying for 3 months now and can't get anything (we're in Australia). So now she's just going to give up and buy something else instead. Particularly with women's shoes if you've got a good product you need to get it out there and get people wearing them.
