Question - I have a high instep and the "sock" sneakers simply dont fit me. Has anyone cut the plastic piece on the Boost ZG and made it work? 

I sized down .5 on pure boost 2. Do these run the same? In fact, I think sizing down may have been a mistake. But tts he like 2 fingers of gap infront

Sweet Jesus

Looks like I need a pair ASAP. What about the old white:grey color? This sucks...

Does anyone know if the red textured version is soft feeing like the purple knit? http://m.adidas.com/us/d-rose-6-boost-shoes/F37129.html

I have a game next Wednesday. Ugh. The purple knit feels great. Even the strap and tongue is softer than before. I would return the purple if the black (or any other color) comes out in the near future. If anyone knows let me know!

Every light colored breathable knit fabric sneaker in the world, regardless of brand, or price, will absorb water and get stained if that water has color. Which is the point I made earlier in the thread (scroll up).

A red Elite sock, met with compression, friction, heat, salt/sweat, will release dye. There's no way around it and it's a known issue: Every breathable Knit fabric sneaker will "absorb" whatever liquids are under with and push them through the top. In fact, this also happens with real leather...

Gents, the knit upper (purple/teal colorway) feels fantastic compared to the synthetics. Very supple. Just glorious.  It feels a bit large though? Herm... I may need to size down .5.  When does the black knit come out? 

I found the sole on these to be very firm (and a little wobbly). I would not recommend them for someone with knee problems. I highly recommend Adidas Drose 6. 

Haha...no. The "issue" happens with every knit shoe though. From Adidas to Nike. It's not related to performance, or premium anything. If you're wearing red underwear which bleeds when you sweat and white linen pants guess what will happen?   Premium knit shoes are designed to breathe so are not...

There isn't a "bleed" issue with the shoe. The uppers are made from a knit material which absorbs and pulls moisture away from the foot (rather than repel it).  They soak up like sponges.  If the shoe is white, and colored socks are worn underneath, dye transfer will happen. The socks themselves...
