Official Toronto - Outlet and Store report

What's everyone's sizing on Iniki's? I ordered a 13 in hopes that I can trade for a 12, but it seems like 11.5 is a better bet as they are fairly roomy....and the Boost just isn't that comfortable (all the pillow talk etc etc, I didn't really get that feeling - Racers felt better). The last isn't sleek enough as well, New Balances 996/997's still take the crown for me.

Regardless, the 13's are going back unless someone wants to trade. Wished they used more suede though.













Oh and plug for the MC 2.0's for flyknit Friday:

On a side note, I know companies like Sketchers have been biting the Boost technology with their tech they call "Burst" which I tried on for the hell of it and they are not comfy at fukcin all lmao. I just got more laughs today when browsing in Harry Rosen when I saw this pair of Swims loafers that have a bootleg boost on the sole. It even had the separated looking foam bubbles in the sole. Everyone trying to bite the boost. I'm almost certain that Adidas has a patent for Boost but with so many companies copying the tech, it doesn't seem like it's that strict or defined. For example, you don't really see a ton of shoe brands producing variant Air Max bubbles etc...

You got to remember that the dude who started sketchers was the father of LA Gear, the classic ripoff brand with their air system midsole and regulator pump, and when that didn't work they tried and innovate their BS with catapult and blinking lights lmao! So this isn't exactly new.

I don't mind the Iniki's at all but I do feel that it's a prime example of the hype around boost kind of going overboard. I do find it to be a pretty dope retro inspired boost shoe but just like you mentioned, the silhouette literally reminds me of a Roshe. I even feel that they would look doper without boost on the sole.

Unfortunately BOOST was not invented by adidas but by BASF ...yup the casette tape makers. Adidas only has exclusive use to it..for how long, I don't know

Yeah...old news but I think its not the same boost...similar how Nike tried to stop adidas' PK reelase... also doesn't matter anymore as adidas just purchased puma...so I wont be surprised future Puma with actual Boost

Really? Do you have a source for that? Can't find any info on it.

"Puma said it started working on the damping material, which promises high-energy return to runners, in 2009 with German chemicals specialist BASF. Puma claims that in 2011 BASF terminated its partnership with Puma and struck an exclusive deal with Adidas instead."

Sneaky adidas...maybe they offered more than Puma...

Is that Puma in the article pre-adidas Boost?

If it is...shape looks so much like Adidas uncaged without PK

If its NRGY, foam looks like so much as BOOST :nerd:

I watched this documentary on Adi Dassler and Rudolf Dassler. It mentioned something like whenever Rudolf had a contractor come to his house to fix something, the contractor would wear a pair of beat up Adidas on purpose, so that Rudolf would get pissed off and tell the guy to go down to the basement and pickup a pair of new Pumas for free lol!

Haha...smart contractor
 
So how much we taking the L by today boys? 40 points? 50 points? Kyle and Demar a combined 3 for 60 from the field? Oh what a time to be alive (and a Raps fan).

On a more serious note though. Even if we win this game and it's 2-2 going back to Toronto. There is no living down both of the friggin games we got embarrassed in. Not even a chance.

Raps will win to tie the series

Bucks will come out too confident and take unnecessary shots

Low and DeRo needs to come out and play though...Can't be like game 3

I'm hoping for the best bro but when you're having to say they need to come out and play and it "can't be like game 3". Game 1 was also the same ****. I find this team obviously has the tendency to become so complacent and over confident then completely $hit the bed.

Who really expected them to lose by 30 points in game 3? It wasn't even how much they lost by as well. It was the way they showed no fight whatsoever and just laid down and got worked. They were losing by like a consistent 30 points the entire game. Unless we blow out the Bucks today (which I'm pretty certain won't happen), there's no way from overcoming that embarrassment.

I was talking to a friend this morning and we were both saying that even if we advance from this series, it's obvious that drastic changes will be made. I can't even say I can see them resigning Lowry now...
 
Not a fan of Lowrys attitude and body language. Rumor is one player on the team is eager for this to end so he can pack his bags and go home


Jv is benched and they're starting Norman

We might just go hard and try to lure CP3 rather than sign Lowry in the off season. I don't see Paul staying with the Clips
