totally agreed -- they seems so flimsy and low quality in hand -- nothing like the 350 boost
On a all serious note..
I own the Key City and OG "lego" colorway. Lucky to be one who pair retail from ADC and Kith.
Pure honesty here....none of them are worth the resale value. I think they are nice and a good change from UB adding a little more sturdy bottom due to the reinforcements but in no way are the NMD worth more than $200. Just being honest...if you want to drop 3-400 on them, I can almost guarantee once in hand you will hate yourself.
I couldn't disagree more with these two. I own the OG colorway NMD, Ultra Boosts, PB and Tan 350s and the NMD's are hands down the most comfortable shoe out of all of them. The 350's are the most aesthetically pleasing to me but if we are talking about comfort the NMD takes the cake.
When Nike first came out with the Flyknit I remembered a quote from someone in upper management at Nike that I just dug up,
"So we started thinking: how could you make a running shoe feel like a sock? And how do you build structure and support into the sock without adding layers? Our goal was to innovate based on our 'nature amplified' design principles, which focus on the body's movement in sport performance and aim to help realise the athlete's natural ability."
Creating lightweight yet sturdy athletic shoes has obsessed the entire footwear industry for decades. As far back as the late 1980s Nike had experimented with an ultra lightweight mesh shoe called the Sock Racer but it wasn't sturdy enough to provide performance support for athletes." says Tony Bignell, VP of footwear innovation at Nike.
It's my opinion that the Adidas NMD just 1 uped any Flyknit Nike has released because of the prime knit, as well as the boost technology as well as the 'legos" that are providing support just in the areas that you really need it. My problem with rose's is that they didn't give you the support where the NMD's does.
Happily paid $350 for the R1's and I don't hate myself. I will be able to get so many wears out of that shoe before it looks "beat" and they will clean up very easily so who knows if they will ever look "beat".
Also I can go on to any of the major reseller sites right now that I frequent(Flight club,pound4pound,rif.la) and find a FULL size run of any of the Yeezy 350s but not ONE SIGNLE pair of NMD's.
