$325 for Mystery Greys(12.5) too much? I honestly can't find this size(or even 13) anywhere else.

If I was selling I would say no. If I was buying I would say yes. But that is all on you.

With this disagreement with 2.0 and 3.0, at the end of the day we still love UBs. Its just a matter of choosing between d*ck head or balls sack.

yoooo lmao. adidas with the phallus knits

Depends on how one wants the pair... If you really WANT IT. It's an OK cw, i wouldnt pay that much tbh. Wait it out.

I think so...  I'd shop around.  They shouldn't be going for 3M prices.

3.0 is def way better than the 2.0.

Gradients still suck guys, nothing has changed.

You've all just convinced yourselves to like gradients cause it's all they're giving us. 

2.0 is probably cheaper to make than 1.0 so it would explain why they are shoving it down our throats lol

For those of you who have the olive UBs, are they easy to match with clothes? I was just offered to trade my pair of used creams for olives in the same condition. I already have one pair of DS creams but they're easily my favorite colorway though! Any opinions?

Matching aside, depending on how used is your versus the traded pair it's a good trade. That is if you don't care about unDSing your creams.

325 seems like a lot, but they don't come around often in the bigger sizes. It's up to you but I would try to get them more in the 250-300 range

They're both around 8.5/10 I would say. Yeah that's the thing. I love my creams. The DS pair are a sitting gold mine. Hard decision to make to be honest.

what on Gods green earth would make you think that 2.0 is any cheaper to produce than 1.0?

Most likely, I'm sure they negotiated pretty good pricing for the leather trim on the gold UBs and bent the factory over on margins for the silver and gold foil cups.  Hence all the factory flaws lol

I was looking at those but $325 is too much and the seller doesn't respond to messages. I'm looking for a pair in the $225 - $250 range, $275 at most.

either way, ADC is sorta winning. Hard to tell because I have returned so much of their LTDs etc back to them

 

[drisk34]

if MGs are selling for $325, then its time to get rid of my pair

you have a habit of making these baseless, illogical claims huh?

i love my mgs and they are one of my favorite ubs but if someone is desp enough to pay 300+ id happily part with them

what on Gods green earth would make you think that 2.0 is any cheaper to produce than 1.0?

I compared the knit patterns of the 1.0 to the 2.0. There about 3 different weave patterns on the toe box and vamp.  To me it looks like high density/high pic.  This is more expensive and time consuming to weave because you are using more yarn in the same space.  The quarter piece is also a separate piece that is sewed together with the toe/vamp. 

The 2.0 still have a thick overall fabric but it only looks like 2 different weave patterns and the yarn is a normal density with lower pic.  The whole upper is one piece of PK which cuts costs on assembly.

Just my $0.02, the factors driving cost for these types of fabrications can differ depending on small changes in production methods so its not absolute.

Loom knowledge lol

all speculation. even if one is more or less expensive than the other to produce, i highly doubt that the shot caller at adidas looked at the reports and made the decision to immediately stop production of the 1.0 and push the 2.0

but your opinion is respected
