ADIDAS BOOST Thread - PAGE 1 for INFO- *NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING*

[therefill]

Didn't happen all at once, random restocks here and there peppered over the last few weeks. Not sure when the last drop happened but seems like it's been a week or so.

Damn, guess I gotta be on the lookout then. Was gonna get a pair of whites but found out they didn't have the Continental soles. Then I saw the Cream/Chalks and those were too fresh not to cop.

anyone else here have the 3/3 eqt f15? imo more comfy than NMD and UBs

 

[airfred]

Very well with about 13 hours minimal cracking.

Damn, so not worth it? I read somewhere that applying acetone on the boost before painting it will hold up better.

UB feels snug while NMD is a little bit loose because it doesnt have an insole and softer materials. Comfort wise I say UB is still more comfy but NMD feels better when you wear it longer because its loose.

I had the NMD'S before the UB. When I tried the UB on, i was wearing the NMD and was able to do a solid comparison...UB are more comfortable, by far. Now the NMD is definitely comfy but the UB has more curvature built into the shoe where as the NMD is just a flat platform of Boost.

Also, i think that the cage and tighter knit on the PK material of the UB makes the shoe feel more secure.

Style and asthetic wise, the NMD wins. But technically and struturally, the UB is mlre solid/sound.

Enjoy both though!!

Much appreciated gents.

I think its worth it. Yes the acetone at the start may be the most important part imo have to remove ALL the gloss on entire boost all the way tk the fabric. Then use angelus jet black leather dye then 3 or so coats of paint the 2nd most important is the matte finisher at the end.

I posted this pic couple days ago with about 10 hours of wear with same amount of cracking. Cant reall tell unless you hold up to eyes and look closely. I love all black kicks so I love them. Even if they do release the black boost Ill try to grab them but will still rock these. Get a little satisfaction knowing you did it.

Any of you fools 1/2 sizing up on NMDs in order to put the UB insoles in?

I went tts with my NMD and put UB insoles. Wore thicker socks and that helped. Half size down probably is the best fit even with insoles.

 

[airfred]

^Good stuff man they look great. I'm the same with all black kicks because they never get dirty. I'll probably do it sooner than later

TTS then use UB insoles. Still feel loose compared to TTS of UB.

Thanks man. Just remember if you do to use 100% acetone on every nook and cranny. I figure it will always be some type of consistent matienience. Good luck.

When you guys say half size down, that means if my true size is 11, then I should get NMD's in 10.5?

Yup

 

[macg0120]

Yup. My best guess is that if you're an 11 in UB then you get a 10.5 for NMD. Most likely you will find it the perfect fit with insole.

I can't sleep so I'm shopping online

Which color should I get? Keep in mind...I'm hoping to get a pair of the women's NMD in black when they release.

 

[macg0120]

I can't sleep so I'm shopping online

Whice color should I get?

Core blacks.

 

[powerball]

The 2nd pair isn't that bad either. Either those or the core blacks.

Guys don't like pink on women? :/

Hard to tell how bright the color on that first pic is, but not a big fan of that bright violet shade or whatever it is. The second dark purple one is actually pretty sick and I'd probably buy for my girlfriend.

I recently got her the all white pair and she loves it. You should consider those as well.

The core blacks are essential BUT if you're not trying to have too many black kicks (considering you plan on copping the black NMDs) the Ash Purple is a really dope colorway.

Easier to match black with everything. Less maintenance because its black. And like what @powerball  suggested you might consider the white one if you arent worried of getting your pair dirty.

White sneakers remind me of the older sneaker styles. I haven't had them in a decade lol. Are they coming back?

yeah don't usually buy white sneakers anymore but white UB's are clean and nice to have in your collection.

[travelgal16]

I guess I'm going with black. You can't have too many black sneakers in your closet
