Ah I gotcha.
Sidetone but it sucks how hard it is to find a pair of OG pure boosts nowadays. Mine are beat to absolute ****, and I'd love a new pair. all the other shoes in the "pure boost" line are pretty ugly to me

Sorry, I'm new to this. What do you mean 3 or 4 nips?

Along the boost there are vertical columns of little nubs aka nips. They almost look like a nipple or just a dot on the boost. In most cases they come in columns with 4 nips, but there are pairs where the columns only have 3 nips.
For some reason everyone thinks I'm only talking about the heel area, I'm not, I'm talking about the length of the boost. The heel area often has 3 nips.Just checked my other pairs. Literally every one has 3 nips on the boost heel. Tank you trippin
Just checked 10 pairs of my UBs and every one had 4 nips along the majority of the boost and some on the heel have 3.
The nips on the heel are not what's important.

what about the pics I posted of having 3 on both sides of one shoe and 4 on both sides of the other?

Ah makes sense. I think because of the original pic you quoted along with the 3v4 comment a lot of us assumed you meant on the heel.

Not sure, presumably the two boost units came from different machines/molds. Possibly even different factories. Not sure what the exact production flow is, but BASF makes the raw boost in their own factories then sends it to adidas for them to make the various sole units out of. I wouldn't be surprised if the boost units are molded by adidas in factories that are separate from those that actually assemble the shoe, so it wouldn't be outlandish for two boost units from two different factories or machines to end up on the same pair of shoes.
Essentially the difference in number of nips must have to do with the mold the boost units are coming out of. I'd bet some of the newer molds only result w/ boost that has 3 nips. It's not a sizing thing, the number of nips won't change for smaller sizes since the thickness of the boost unit is always the same & length isn't going to affect the nips.
It might be interesting to look into the production dates on pairs that have 3 nips...

I can definitely agree with all of this. I just wanted to clear up for those who may be worried about their pickups from retailers being legit, or not. Because before now we, including myself, made a pretty consistent blanket statement that said it only happened to shoes in smaller sizes. And that it most likely is Not legit due to fewer nubs/nips.

Yeah I was under that impression as well until today and I'm mainly conceding that it's possible for 3 nip boost to be legit based on other people's words, not my own experience, most of those who claimed to have pairs w/ 3 nips still haven't posted pics of them.
I've still never bought or seen in person a pair with 3 nips and I own at least 18 pairs of UBs, stopped counting a little while ago haha. I even checked some uncaged I have and they both have 4 nips as well.
Maybe those 3 nip pairs are more rare
edit - and just to clarify, I'm not talking about the heel area of the boost, but rather the sides where the full columns are.

Got my shock mint from sweatshop last week and just noticed this:
It's shedding a little by the upper left toe area. Should I use those battery powered Asian lint removal tool on it? Does it happen a lot on the PK?
Also noticed the right and left doesn't match exactly:
Seems to be a common occurrence.
Does the UB sold outside of the US include 2 extra tags in addition to the Continental tag?
