I'm sorry are boost really more comfortable than prestos which were the original sock shoe?

Depends on which shoe.

Prestos < NMDs < Ultra Boost < Flyknit Prestos < Yeezys.

IMO.

Could swap between Ultra Boost and Flyknit Prestos, they're really close as far as comfort.

Depends on which boost though, they have boost on several of their models. I'm assuming you're talking about the Ultra Boost, right?
 
ok so what's the difference, because I have prestos haven't bought them since they added laces though, so what's the difference in the feel?
 
Yea I got one good pair out of 4 that I ordered. I'm ok with the pair I kept. It's night and day compared to the first pair I got from ndc. If you can find a good pair that doesn't look like it was cobbled together by a child it's definitely worth it.
 
Just came from my local Footlocker. The one that barely gets any releases. Was talking to the associates and they said they got a second shipment that was even bigger than the first. In my area that must make these the most available of any Jordan ever released. I dont even know what my HOH got. But if this store got 30 pairs, HOH mustve got like 300. Good for me tho, cuz now I have a good pair that Im happy with.
 
Question to any NT fam, has anyone attempted to dye their elephant print darker-ish grey shade on their retro 3's in order to look more like the OG's? OG's and 1994 retro has a darker grey shade on the elephant print and not the light light grey that are in the current retros. If so, anyone has a picture and the process they did? I"m really contemplating on doing this to my pair......

It's a very easy process. Use light coats of Kiwi shoe dye, Walmart usually stocks this item
 
trying on in store and wearing are two very different things, if it's a difference then someone that wears them would be able to explain that difference, I can explain the difference between prestos and zigtech
heck I can explain the difference between prestos and Ugg slippers

Thanks fam! I figured it would be something easy like that. By chance, do you know the shade of grey kiwi has if only they sell one shade? Aside from light coats, just want to make sure that the shade of grey isn't too dark.
 
Someone should do a social experiment on here. Make up a flaw on a release and see if other people "see" it too. The power of suggestion! :lol: I really don't think all those people returning pairs at the outlets were due to quality. They probably didn't think they could flip it for more $.
 
Pissed.
I deleted a offer in the Goat app as I got a pair of my dude for retail.
Must have had bad signal as I woke to a email saying its been deducted from my paypal as I won a retail offer I put down.
If it wasn't Xmas and needing tyres I prob wouldn't care. But its killed me now. No chance of selling since their sitting too
 
read alot of different topics since i last got on here & I wanted to add my .02

Adidas added some comfy shoes with good materials but they need to chill on the elongated heels.

I think the TB's are sitting due to the fact they were made in abundance to keep resale low as well as have some availability for those on a tight budget, JB knows they will eventually evaporate.

The shear amount of variety that is dropping so close together also creates a purchasing scale in terms of what do you want more, which in turn affects certain models & with people still having decent 2011 pairs thus "the sit" occurs.

I personally didn't double up (still might at a discount) & I thought they ran a little snug but the comfort level is +5 over the 2011. The NA on the back & the lighter EP makes it for me though :smokin
