The no tongue one booty upper fits a specific foot type. If you don't have that type of foot than you're usually SOL. Having a normal tongue helps a lot in terms of fit.

^why, the booty upper provides a better fit imho, it's comfortable too, just wraps around the whole back of the foot
Just a personal preference. To each their own but I'm selfishly hoping the trend ends.

Same here. While that sounds kind of crazy because you can't secure the fit without tightening the laces, there are some shoes where the design makes things worse.
The Lillard 1, Kobe 8 and CL Boost 2015/2016 come to mind. I've had discomfort with all of those models depending on how tight I laced them. With the XX9 and first CF Drive, I could tie those as tight as I wanted with no issues.

Thoughts on something like the hyperdunk 2017 flyknit type bootie? Where it's a one piece upper but with a tongue cut half way up? Would that make a difference or do you want a full on segregated upper.

So as far as the CE 16 vs. 17:
16 has more plush cushioning
17 is better/equal at everything else?

No, the overall materials on the '16 are a lot softer and easier to play with out the box. They just aren't durable. The '17 decided to go a bit overboard and made the primeknit super reinforced and abrasive. Traction and cushion both go to the '17 though (noticably more forefoot and heel boost)

What about non-primeknit?

I only have the regular '16 and PK '17. Another thing worth mentioning is that the toebox has a lot of deadspace and is very hard, so you can't really get away with wearing thin socks in the '17 PK.

Just cannot get excited about the PK CE lows this year. Last year the lows looked and played great...

Lol did anyone see adidas confirmed dropped KP's home PEs for the 17's?

Agreed, if I could get a CE16 low style upper and a CLB16 mid/outsole it would be perfect.

I don't dislike the collars on the lows that much, but is it just me or does that look like a photoshop job (especially his right foot)? Like Murray was originally wearing mids and someone wanted to turn them into lows.
