what is nike's answer to ultra boost technology?

Ultraboost were Adidas answer to Flyknit Racers and Trainers

They only became popular after Kanye wore them when he went to Adidas

IMO

Nike is better for running than ultra boost.

Ultra boost is comfier for just chillin

Tech wise.

Design wise.....ub aint nothing new.

Nike was making caged socks 20 yrs ago.
 
Zoom when implemented correctly is just awesome.  

Which shoes do you think had zoom implemented correctly?

I was all in on Nike Lunar foam when it first came out then was pissed 4 months later when they bottomed out. Did Nike ever create a durable lunar foam?

Unlocked zoom on the XX8, XX9 and XXX were great.

HyperRev2016 (forefoot and heel) and KD9s (full length) zoom were done well too.

The new lunar set-up on the LunarEpic seems to be doing well, I haven't read much about it bottoming out yet but then again it has only been a few months.

The shoes above were great.  I think the newer pegasus have forefoot and heel I think???? I guess zoom that you could really feel is just so comfy and sturdy.  There have been shoes where I question if the zoom is there.  Lol.  
 
Pegasus 33 has heel and forefoot Zoom.

Older Nike models that had double stacked zoom was like walking on air. The most responsive and comfortable Zoom set ups I have ever felt are the Zoom e-cues, XVIII and XIX.
 
Lunarlon tends to bottom out, but it don't yellow and can be made of any color unlike boost. Nobody's perfect.
Anyway nike needs a new foam cushion, and I believe they are already working on it.

This couldnt be further from the truth. You do realize kanye didnt even wear UB at first right? The shoe he wore at the Chicago halftime show (which is what made the headlines for his shoes) was a $100 pair of energy boost. UB were always popular before anybody knew kanye wore them.

Those Energy Boosts he wore actually retailed for $160.
 
That's extra false, this is the photo that started the UB craze, before this they were sitting, they released in December/January these were the first colorway. Kanye wore the February
