The weather was nice so I took them for a 5k walk this saturday. The upper has softened a bit and is now ok. The midsole however is still as stiff as on a pair of dr martens.
Don't own boosts but have had many generations of free flyknits which have ridiculously soft midsoles, the most comfortable shoes I've ever used. The BBs have one of the hardest midsoles I've ever worn on a sneaker, I find them even worse than my 2020 AM95 neons. And it's not only the air unit...
The problem is that as a middle aged man wearing in is not as easy as it used to be. I can't wear sneakers at work, and I dont go out much. I will keep them though so I can look fly when going grocery shopping.
BBs, what a brick fest. Have no idea what Chris from WearTesters was talking about. He has the 2020 infrareds. I have worn my infrareds sparsely so they are almost like new still, and the BBs don't even come close. Even the upper is stiff. They sure are pretty though. But the big bubble almost...
I'm not so much worried about minimal color difference but more that they are blue and not violet or purple. Maybe it's a black and blue/white and gold thing but to me the 2021 just looks plain blue on my different screens. They release tomorrow in the EU, I will probably order them regardless...
Me neither. Look at the pictures above from Jordans01, maybe it's the camera and how the neoprene reflects light differently but to me there is a clear difference in the color on e.g. the tongue's top and bottom. On the 2021 the bottom instead is black.
You who have received yours, what color...
Looking at pictures on some older releases, there is a clear difference in color between the neoprenish parts and the inside padding. The neoprene, e.g. the tongue, is purple and the padding is more blueish. And for some years the swoosh is blue and the paint on the sole is purple. But on the...
Looks like SNS Europe has restocked the Infrareds, sorry if this has been mentioned already but the search function is not chronological and there are too many hits on "restock" to sift through. A lot of sizes.
It will probably make availability better though. But that is also the manufacturers blame, maybe even more so.
Do you think that if Nike made a lot more of e.g. the Neons, would that affect it's popularity much and maybe even lower the demand for future releases? (This is a QUESTION, not an...
"Do you think there will be any legislation in the future regarding resell?". The question mark you see there at the end of the sentence indicates a question, not a statement of an opinion, no need to be smug, and I'm actually 38 kiddo. I'm actually not sure what my opinion on the matter is. On...
My first pair of 95's. They're pretty good but not nearly as comfortable as the 2020 Infrareds, they look good though. Why is the upper part of the tongue so stiff!?! Like raw denim only 10 times thicker. When are yours produced? Mine are from July 15.
Were the tongue and upper thinner on the OG's? Look at the first picture, they look so "slim fit". Even if I tighten the laces they still have some bulk and I have very slim feet.
Regarding tech, both flyknit and primeknit have IMO been revolutionary and both have been used for lifestyle. AFAIK flyknit came to the market first and I think it's superior to primeknit. But that was 8 years ago so maybe not "lately". But both technologies are still relevant. Maybe this is too...
