ADIDAS BBall Boost Thread - BYW, Crazy Explosive & Crazy Light & OTHER BBALL ADJACENT SNEAKERS

[thapointguy]

White pair pretty much gonna on FNL, 13/14 left. See some on ebay for $200 People think these are Harden PE?

Disappointed the blk/wht colorway wasn't out and only the Adidas store had a pair and it's the all white. No other stores got them in my area.

I just can't play ball in all whites. Not sure I could size half down on these if I plan on wearing them elite socks.

 

[the red model]

These launch color ways are killing me lol. First the KD9s with the all white knit, now these. @DeezyVSOP2 made a good point though. It would be nice to get a consensus on how these are. Then again I don't care what anyone else thinks. I want to try them myself lol.

 

[Platinum State]

Tried on 3 different sizes @ Finish Line and couldn't bring myself to buy them. Good for Basketball but not comfortable enough for casual wear I guess. Way below my NMD and Ultraboost in comfort, even below Alpha Bounce. 

This is sad to hear. I wanted them for casual wear, guess I might buy ultraboost instead if I find a cw I like

No offense to dude but he did rank the NMD like it has some spectacular cushioning when it is as good as a pair of $40 chucks, hell I probably prefer chucks over NMD comfort-wise

 

[suchafraud23]

^^^^ so true

Do you even have these shoes? NMD is 50% of the comfort of Ultraboost. Alpha bounce maybe  30%. These Crazylight Boost feel like more restrictive NMDs. 25% Ultraboost comfort. 

I wore UB on one foot and Crazy light boost on another. It's not even comparable for casual comfort. There is 0 flexibility and you only feel the boost on your heel. But that's basketball shoes I guess..

Oh yea, I have several pairs of Converse shoes and they are about 5% of the comfort (0 cushioning feel) of an UB so you must be trolling that one. 

 

[rfx45]

yeah you're the only one who has UB and NMD and no one else has tried on the CL16s.

And great that you are able to quantify comfort by the exact percentage, did oyu read the brochure where they said how much boost was put in which shoes?



No one trolling here, you just can't read. NMD boost is hard as rocks, you really fell into the Adidas hype if you say otherwise. But hey, boost can vary from pair to pair so who knows but what I have had on my foot felt like they compressed that boost too much to a point where there isn't very little give left.

Chucks definitely feels better on my feet than NMDs to me and it's laughable that you say it has zero cushioning feel. Walk barefoot, that's zero cushioning so any rubber compound plus insole on the bottom of your feet is cushioning.

i finally found a pair in store and was able to try them on. They were the red colorway. I'm going to wait for the black ones but they're comfy for basketball purposes. They're not meant to be casual shoes IMO. They also fit a little long like the D Lillard 2.

They don't have the bouncy ultra boost feeling. I'd say they feel like Rose 6 lows if anything.

 

[jerseysauce]

I tried them on today as well. Half size is better for lockdown and containment (similar to the Lillard's).

On court, prolly the best hoopin low top out. Just played a couple hours in them and these will prolly replace my XX9s in the hoopin rotation. According to nightwing from weartesters.com, these have the most boost pellets out of any boost shoes released with obviously being more compressed so you won't get the bouncy feeling as an ultra boost. On court, you can def feel it but won't have to worry about it permanently compress like my drose 5 felt after a while. Recommend half a size down unless your wide footed then go with your natural size.

 

[sprite remix]

tried on tonight, and as a wide footer these are not comfortable

really wanted to like them too

 

[mpjohnny5]

Are any of the release color ways primeknit? Doesn't look like it by the looks of the tongue

 

[vince23heat]

so the boost is firmer than the rose 6 but higher off the ground?

If it's firmer than the D. Rose 6, I'm out.

Yes and yes

 

[gopowergoh]

You said they were big in the video. So not true to size? 

And no NMD PK unboxing video? 

Haha nmd unboxing up! Yea the crazy lights def feel big to me. half size to full size

 

[roymunsonbabang]

My TTS is 10 1/2. I have flat feet and in the D lillard 2s I'm a size 10. What size do you guys recommend?

I went half size down like explosive Jeff said above.. TTS a little too big

 

[Ox.]

anyone hoop outdoors in the CL16 yet? 

 

[goldmember]

I'm a 10 in UB. Should I go down 0.5 ? Not a wide footer

 

[Retroballer]

I'm still trying to figure out if Harden is wearing those in a PE all season or is getting his own shoe. Would like to know before buying

 

[rfx45]

As far as I know Harden is wearing these.
