ADIDAS BBall Boost Thread - BYW, Crazy Explosive & Crazy Light & OTHER BBALL ADJACENT SNEAKERS

Just think if adidas had miadidas on the clb 2016 and crazy explosive[emoji]128551[/emoji][emoji]128551[/emoji]
 
I think the simpler the CW on the CE the better. Something about that all red, plus going back to my theory - the original CWs of any new shoe, more often times than not, seem desirable over the CWs later on. Obviously some exceptions, but the hype of a new release and the buying into a shoe makes me think people yearn for the first CWs more than other ones. Just a theory of my haha - I got plenty and most are false so feel free to poke holes in that theory.

As far as sizing, I wear an 11.5 on the Lillard 2.0s but a 12 in everything else Nike, JB, etc. - I will say Adidas sizing has been all over the place, just don't get why. Has anyone who has played extensively in the CEs had any issues with the PK? A friend who plays in them says at first it felt secure but after breaking them in and wearing them over time it's gotten to the point he wished it was more reinforced - wanted to see if that was something anyone else is experiencing or just him?
 
is anyones white or USA CLB 2016's getting dirty much? Some white shoes seem to get dirty easier than others. The youtube reviewers seem to have their pairs looking new but im not sure how long they have been using them

I think I'm going to wait for the Wiggins colorways for the crazy explosives.

I just discovered the Jordan 29s and I live in LA so I have to stick to neutral colors lol.

So for casual use, CRAZY EXPLOSIVE or CRAZY LIGHT, which would be best for just walking and standing around? I'm not worried about the look of these, I'm sure I can work it. I'm just thinking that these look comfy and I want one, only one.
 
From the reviews, sounds like CE because it's supposedly more plush and "boosty" on the forefoot while CLB provides more court feel.

That is if wearing low-tops and hi-tops doesn't matter much and are just worried about the cushioning.

Being in SoCal and with practically no winter cold weathers, low-tops tends to be most ideal.

Now if that CE lows that was posted before were real then that is probably the clear winner.
 
Would have never thought I'd be anticipating my future wiggins collection... fresh ish, I love it.
 
Just came back from trying out the clb in store. Couldnt feel the boost at all, if anything they felt kinda stiff and clunky. Midas well call em concrete rubber

I think a lot of guys are comparing the boost in the CLB to the drose 6. There not like that at all where you can feel the compression the minute you try on. There's more stiffness in these where you need to play and let the boost get activated. I like them a lot. One note tho the contentinal rubber outsole is very nice and grippy. Nowhere near as Durable as XDR tho as I've been playing outdoors on them 2 hours a week since launch and notice the forefoot starting to wear out. Still in search of the best outdoor/ cushioned shoe. May Nike ID some kd9s so I can get them with XDR

Thanks for the update. I'm looking for the same thing and I was hoping that was the CLB 2016. The rubber felt pretty hard compared to other outsoles. I don't think Nike ID XDR is the same as their GR XDR Its a different color but from my experience with the Kobe 11 ID its as soft as the regular outsoles just a dark grey color.
 
Boost felt noticeable to me from initial try-ons and playing in them.  Not as Boost-y as my Pure Boosts, but that's to be expected for basketball.

Even though it's Continental on the outsole, I don't see them being super durable outdoors.  The rubber is firm, but there are some areas, especially closer to the midsole where it's actually a really soft and thin layer.

Went to the Adidas store today. They hyping Harden shoes. Dropping in Dec., I'm sure they'll sale well considering Harden plays for the home team. They had a VR revealing the shoe, but when you looked in, they made it where it was semi-blurry, so it wasn't a "true reveal" lol. Dope marketing scheme & first time using the VR.
