ADIDAS BOOST Thread - PAGE 1 for INFO- *NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING*

hey... are the UB's really worth the $200 price tag?

don't shoot me, i'm a noob to the boost game... see my previous post LOL

Probably not, but are any sneakers really worth $200?  Lots of people pay much more than that for resale UBs, though, so getting them at retail now seems like a good deal.  I'm assuming you already like the looks, so if you like the ultimate squishy comfort under your feet, go for it.  The only downsides that I see are a serious lack of traction with the outsoles, and possibly a too-tight fit on the top of your foot.  I have a high instep and somewhat wide feet, so I sized up .5 and I still wouldn't wear my UBs for a 12 hour day.  After a while the comfort of the boost becomes secondary to the overly tight fit of the upper.  But I have that problem with any sock-like shoe design, so I knew it going in.  If you really aren't sure, find one of the unloved colorways locally so you can try them on first.  Or order a pair from one of the sites that will let you wear them for a while and return them if the comfort doesn't match the price for you.

No, I wouldn't say they are worth 200, but they are by far my most comfortable pair of shoes.

"Worth" is totally subjective.

You're paying a premium to wear the most comfortable shoe of all time (also one of the best looking).

Right on guys... thanks for the info... repped each of you

 

[kingscrossing]

I know someone posted an eBay coupon days ago. I don't think that one is valid anymore. Has anyone seen a new coupon code? Thanks.

If you guys want to try calling Footaction Willowbrook Houston at +1 (281) 890-4980, I saw they had mystery grey, wool grey, silver metallic, and core black on display. Maybe they'll do phone orders.

It's just the SNS UB with distressed leather cage & multicolor laces/lining.

If you wanna spend $350-400 you can get some SNS and mess up the leather cage haha.

Just gonna leave this here

Back on UBs today... So much better

 

[pokeyneil30]

Decided to snap a quick pic while I was waiting for this game to start, waiting on my 3m's and rope lace supply laces to come in and I think my wallet decided I'm gonna need to take a break for a little while

Called Road Runner Sports to see if they have UBs in my size not listed on their website. Got a pair of Black Gray for $136 using an expired code that they honored (LUCKYRUN16). If already posted, disregard. I have plans to murder these jawns out.

Anyone know sizing on these? I wear 11 in jays and 11.5 in UBs.

 

[pudge]

I finally got my creams, but a 12 in them fit too big. I have 12 in all my other UB and they fit fine. I wish I knew these were more tts.

Should've asked here, been discussed at length that wool UBs fit more TTS than non-wools. Chalks especially.

 

[tankdayglo]

 

You'd probably be a 10.5 in these. I go .5 down for most Y-3s, these included. Insanely comfortable, almost on par with UB, more of a casual, relaxed feel to the upper.

 This dude has 3 pairs of Creams though?? 

 

[theturbofd]

What's a good FB group to look for some SNS UBs? Tried ebay but ones in my size are too expensive without the added $50 shipping.

 

[sortanew2retro]

tankdayglo,

You sold me on those. Third pair of Y3's. Thanks....

 

[fillsson]

For those of you who have them : how's the fitting of the 3M UBs? I'm 11.5 in almost all my UBs (I could easily have 11 in creams).

Haha I know man, bunch of enablers up in here.

You won't regret it though, I'm already preparing to double up if I ever see em for under $250 (hoping some pairs will go on discount in the fall).

Dammit if I hadn't just dropped an obscene amount of money on shoes this past week I'd be all over that.

Also since when is 9.5 a small foot haha?
