This gets addressed every 10 pages or so. No, the only option is to paint the boost white.

More comfy than both mesh and PK. Mesh NMDs aren't comfy at all tbh. I'm not sure how much boost there is but you can see that there is boost below the heel and front foot area. I can feel the boost for sure but they're more robust and hard because of the thick sole. Really great grip on them. The sizing is a little bigger than the UBs. Imo, if you have wide feet go tts and if you have narrow feet go down 1/2 size, like on pk NMDs.
They have definitely been keeping my feet pretty darn warm today when I wore them with thicker winter socks while it was around 23 degrees fahrenheit outside.

Just got my pairs of Military 3.0s in. The 3.0 is kind of crazy. I wouldn't say it's bigger then the 1.0 or the 2.0 in length but the knit being so stretchy, or thin, or both on the top is nuts. You def loose a little support there. I didn't notice this on the Royal 3.0 that I returned but the Military is super fuzzy around the ankle collar. Especially the tongue area. It almost poofs up into the laces.
On this one we get a opaque cage but it still is made of the same material as the transparent cage (or similar) so it's still vary pliable and probably more resistant to those scuff marks then plastic was, so big improvement there. The back heel cup where it says Ultra Boost and is textured is actually a glued in piece that is a mixture of woven synthetic material and plastic. When you look close there are some imperfections but very minor and seems to be well attached.
Other then that the laces here are lightly waxed, a bit longer and thinner then normal and feature really nice black metal lace tips. Oh, and the Adidas tab on the tongue also seems like it's a waxed canvas but has a rubber feel to the touch. In the end, very happy with these!

No, once it yellows, there is no bringing it back unfortunately. RIP.

Yeah there's no bringing it back, a Jason Markk employee did an AMA on reddit and said he was never able to stop the boost from yellowing due to the absorbency of the boost

I'm curious to hear from one of the few members who we've seen paint the boost white. There are def a few people who have done this but I've never seen any follow up in terms of how the paint held up.

Not only can you not get rig of the yellow plague I still don't think there is a definitive cause.

I'd be interested in this too. And how different the white looks, if any at all.

Yeah I'd be curious to hear how that turned out as well. Painting the boost white seems like the only way to mask the yellow.

If the boost material is porous and absorbs dirt as apparent by the yellowing, its surprising that a similar long term soak in some type of bleaching agent couldnt reverse the yellowing.

Use is the cause. Just plain wearing them is what causes it. Combination of the protective layer wearing down and contact with the elements.

I have a feeling it has something to do with the outsole and the glue. From what I've found the issue was much worse on the 1.0. Also I think the Boost is a fairly porous material so it clings dirt easier then a rubber sole.
Same, my OGs are going to need a painting at some point.

Even if it could, they'd just re-yellow even faster.

Seems like the new version, starting from late 1.0 and 2.0 catch less yellowing, but honestly I think that my RCs are gonna yellow fast and hard

The examples I've seen were really good, couldn't tell a difference at all, but this was just from a pic or two online.
I may give it a shot on my CB 1.0 using the white sneakersER pen I have.

Would be dope if there was some sort of coating over the boost that would make it less resistant to yellowing (that of course would not affect performance/cushioning).

Glue is def not the only culprit. My white 1.0s had boost that was turning orange throughout the entire midsole, I attributed it to a combination of things, but most importantly, over cleaning and using too many chemicals to try and strip the dirt away.
