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

[wests]

hands down. owned a few nmd and comfort is no where near as good as the ub. looks wise i would still give it to ub.

I agree. NMDs actually made my feet hurt.

Guys, anyone planning to go to FTL in store to try to cop the Uncaged, call your local FTL first.  I called several near me and all said they did not have the shoes yet and expected a late delivery. When the first one told me, I was skeptical.  But because multiple stores said the same thing, I think it must be true.

I've actually met some NMD purist that haven't even tried on a pair of UBs because they are too expensive.

Then they go crazy for some PKs...$10?

 

[texian]

Ive seen a few, aged 50+ people sporting UB's - mostly volt. The only thing that crossed my mind was, damn, even old folks know how to lace-it-up these days. More power to them #UBlife

 

[nonheinous]

On the subject of bias: I get this feeling that for the short amount of time it's been out, Alphabounce feels way more astroturfed than an NMD or UB.  Seems like they are trying really hard to make it happen.  Or at least that's how it has felt over the past week or so. (FD: haven't tried it on to know for myself if shoe is worth it)

Staying on UB message however, on feet today:

launch locator for FTL is up, I only saw champs before. Pleasantly surprised both my local FTL AND Champs are getting uncaged, this should be an easy cop

Well Volts were readily available at running specialty stores. Maybe old dude came in there looking for some Pegasus or non-slip velcros and young cat upsold them UBs.

oh yea and that.

The thread is so far gone from the days of when I first joined. And that was only the beginning of this year.

Crazy how a bunch of NTers are 10+ deep in UBs from this short amount of hype.

Haha, I actually joined NT for the NMDs.

Perfectly 100% Honest, I think the Ultraboost silhouette is meeeeh. And MOST of the color ways are complete trash (Creams chalks whatever, can't believe people like those boring looking dad shoes), people buying only because of Kanye West? All Hype.

Adidas makes an awesome technology (Boost) but aside from the NMDs these shoes aren't good enough looking for the hype.

Now the Uncaged UBs... these are going to be fire. Killer silhouette and killer comfort. NMD + UBs = Uncaged UBs?

Anyway, JMO... lol.

NMDs =

Makes sense, actually. Ive usually seen them when walking the Las Vegas strip.

UB do hold up well when constantly on your feet.

Same here, my mall next to my house, has both Champs and Foot Locker and both are dropping the uncaged tomorrow, should be easy.

 

[bammer26]

Should be able to get the red and the black pair not sure if I want the grey pair yet

 

[mrbupp]

No, sizing questions don't really bother me. I only mess with UB's, and this thread is all about NMD and the cageless stuff.

It's really only because the Uncaged UB release is imminent, it'll normalize accordingly

Hopefully, but I'm sure there will be many tales of woe here tomorrow.

1) no one thinks they are Dad shoes

2) in an UB thread. majority is gonna say UB> NMD

3) It is just you.

You prefer bright colors, nothing wrong with that. But a good majority of people like regular shoes, they don't want lemon acid shock hot highlighter slime glitter Fuschia Purple mountain Majesty. colors when they just kickin' it.

some people like low-key colors of which you do not prefer.

I can bash NMDs all day but you won't see me in the NMD thread doing it. I haven't been actively communicating in there for months.

I like a lot of UBs just not the creams. Black white are always good on any shoe. Just not into the dad shoe cream colorway hype lol. Sorry if I hurt cream fan feelings.

On to the new uncaged though!

 

[texian]

Red and grey will be the only ones I cop, if I do. Still undecided on these to be quite honest.

 

[drisk34]

mine also just told me they didnt get them in yet. im still going in store to check, heard wayyyy too many stories of the employees just lying.

 

[snayberry]

True but if I show up first thing tomorrow morning, I think I should be good, especially considering, I have two stores in the same mall that are releasing them.  I only want one pair anyways.

On to the new images though!

Didn't hurt my feelings none.

Different strokes for different folks.

I didn't try calling FL but I tried Champs and they told me they have their stock ready to drop tomorrow.

I called a FTL where they are on the release calendar and they said they haven't gotten anything.

Either they get stuff the day of or they just lie because they didn't want to answer the phone that has been ringing for 2 minutes straight because no one wants to pick up the phone.

champs answered but the dude didnt say a word just dead noise

 

[texian]

Wait.. the whites are LTD? I may have to get these just in case.

You didn't hurt anyone's feelings, you just had an opinion that was so bias and personal taste that 100% of the people that responded to you highly disagree with you.

Uncaged will be dope and I hope they release a lot more CWs.
