Yea I'm the opposite this year, for me is all boost summer. Last year I was pushing lunar flyknit and the chukkra's. The designs seem off to me and like I said prices starting @200,lol I don't like that whole extra little sock on the ankle area. I know Nike is killing, when ur at the top there's no where else to go but[emoji]11015[/emoji]️
Agreed on both parts. I can't really see myself wearing the high tops as often as I'd wear the lows, especially with the heat down south (99 today). I don't want to wear mid calf socks and have all that ankle sweat or worry about the achilles rubbing some have mentioned if I wear low socks. I definitely like that Adidas is pushing the boundaries and forcing Nike to keep innovating or continue to lose market share.
I also like that MOST Nike drops are now somewhat easier to attain with all the hype around NMDs, UBs, City Socks, etc. Like I said, if Nike can continue to innovate, not release dumb, outlet rack bound colorways, and do it at a reasonable price, I don't see Adidas overtaking them for the next 5-10 years (unless they make Yeezys GR, which would then kill a great deal of the hype). But hey, crazier things have happened.
Didn't mean to spark the adidas vs Nike stuff with my Flyknit Max comment... Just disappointed that the lows didn't get a unique weave pattern. That Oreo posted on the top of the page is identical to my Oreo Flyknit Max with the exception of my maxes having a black tongue.
I agree wholeheartedly. At the end of the day, both Nike and Adidas are companies that seek to maximize profit and market share, so competition is normally a good thing for consumers.
I also think that the lows look good, but wish they had maintained a little more of the high top design on the uppers. The lows seem to have much more of a AF1 bulkiness (as others have mentioned) and the toebox looks a little too big for my taste. I'm excited to see more on-feet shots of them though.
