Thanks. Wasn't even looking to buy but can't turn down such a cheap pair.

Anyone else who only hoops in their hardens have a forefoot and toes imprint in their shoes? Questioning the life span of boost I feel my pair in the forefoot has bottomed out

I'm actually down for these! I wouldn't be the guy dunking in the picture wearing them though, I'd be getting posterized. But at least I'd look good (debatable to most of you, probably) in my "Fear the Mud Butt" Vol. 1's

i've played in my pioneers over 3 sessions 2hrs per session, feels better and better, as if it forms better to my feet and knows when to be bouncy and when to stiffen up, kinda like memory foam...but no, haven't bottomed out at all. i haven't hooped in my other colorways so i can say for other colors.

Yeah, I have to agree with Zaku. I've logged the most run in my Harden Vol. 1 "Home" colorway pair and I feel like these are getting better every time I use them. For reference, I ball a minimum of 2 hour sessions at a time and I've used these easily over a dozen times. So with about 20+ hours of gameplay logged, so far, so good. I know that's not as many hours played compared to other players, but hopefully my two cents helps you out.
If you really feel you have a defective pair you should reach out to Adidas customer service, I've never had any problems dealing with them and hopefully they can send you a replacement pair. Because I can't think of any of my Boost models from the past few years bottoming out, which means it could possibly be a defect. Good luck!

oh nah I don't feel it's a defect and it doesn't feel bad under foot just worried me that boost may bottom out, my shin splints never hurt in these or my bron 14s so I know the boost is working just thought that it was crazy that I could feel the impression of my toes and ball of my foot haha I am however 5'11 193lb collegiate player so maybe its the pressure I apply

regarding shin splints, i get that pretty often when i used to run 5-6 times a day. it's a chronic thing and i think it's just a matter of letting your body heal and i don't think any cushion will help alleviate that no matter how soft or how well it protects from impact.
also considering that you're a collegiate player rather than a weekend warrior, you're probably putting the shoe thru more stress. i have come across imprints of my foot in my shoe when i used to play more often. i do believe that as long as you still feel the cushion, you should be good. from my experience when boost bottoms out it feels really hard for some reason.

Wondering "opinion" if someone would trade deadstock Jordan 72-10 for a pair of Hardens.
I have a listing on varagesale and thinking of putting it up on Craigslist also.
I would preferably want the Gila Monsters, but prob would trade for another CW.

i would take the 72-10 any day! so if you're putting your jordans up for trade, it'll go fast.

The gila monster has a much higher value then the 72-10 imo

Hmm maybe I would do it then but only for a sz 12 gila monster.

I wonder if adidas is saving the gila monster in case Harden wins MVP so they make a pack, special release or something

how so? just asking, cos i don't know much about the history behind the GM colorway...all this is new to me since i wasn't paying attention to the crazylight 2.5s.

I'm sure adidas already has a special colorway ready if harden gets mvp, I still think gila monsters will eventually release

Ah, I see. Yeah, I get you. You're just too buff for BOOST, brother! Ask Harden if these shoes were made for a "real man"

Got the Forks in this weekend from ADC. Color looks way better in person than online. Very happy with them so far.

I hope you're right, man. I don't mean to be all caught up in the hype or whatever, but I just really like the Gila Monster colorway. I've read some things on the board that say they're overrated or the salmon color is ugly in person, but I'm still feeling them for some reason. And if it is in fact a special MVP release, then I really have an excuse to justify wearing pink shoes!

I'm not even all that much a fan of the gila monster colorway but I know alot of ppl want that shoe, I just don't see adidas not releasing it, I'm sure they know it will sellout, I'm hoping we get a new colorway if harden gets mvp and gila release differentlyI hope you're right, man.

i ordered the "Fork" the same day it was released and it was already back ordered. so i know Cargo will be harder to get and the GM will be even harder!!!
which will render me a better change to cop, wait till 7am pacific time and cop online via footlocker, or go to the actual store at 10am when it opens??

Also i dont think cargos will be hard to cop at all because of the Royal 1s releasing the next day. Would figure people would rather save their money for the royals
