LOL, my thoughts exactly. UBs are a luxury grand tourer and Adizero Primes are a racecar. Two completely different shoes with two different purposes. As for the Primeknit, this is an uncaged running shoe so if they used loose sweater-like knit the way UBs are, you'd have no stability at all. Still, I wouldn't call it stiff and it's certainly more forgiving than most sneakers I own. Different strokes for different folks but I find my UBs to feel heavy and clunky after I've been wearing my AdiZeros for a while.
Not necessarily, but they're a lightweight racing flat. Long before Boost and Primeknit came along, there's always been full cushion running shoes like UBs and low-profile racers like the AdiZero. Just depends on what you are looking for in a shoe. I think it's just that a lot of people had UBs as their first Boost shoe, so they expect other shoes like AdiZeros and NMDs to feel the same and are disappointed when they don't.
Why is that?
I can see the appeal in breaking up all the white with some different colors, but after trying some myself I decided rope laces aren't something I like with UBs. They add unnecessary bulk to the shoe and cage area IMO. One of these days I'm going to pick up some replacement flat laces and play around with those.
Testing.... new laces
jejejeje,
Happy with rope laces on my end. Flat 3ms look like tape to me.
BNTL.
