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

[outhere]

 
2 Million is enough to meet demand.

The problem is that half of it goes to resellers cuz those resellers know that y'all will pay good money to get those kix.

And you don't even know if those RCs are limited or not but you already took the pre-order road...

Lmao if they made 2 million resellers are going to take an L and they will sit.....

Based off of the supply past collabs, the demand for these out the gate, we can assume that many people will take L's and will have to pay resale in order to secure a pair.

Did the triple red uncaged already release in the states? If not, when?

 

[bigsykedaddy]

Roshes was on its way up, now, not so much
An argument can be made for Flyknits

Yeah, but they were never as good looking or as comfortable as these (IMO at least)

Flyknits are one of those shoes IMO, I love them.

So many to choose from...Either Holy Chuck Burgers, Burgers Priest or P&L Burger.

Repped

The thing is resellers directly affect supply. Let's say demand for a pair of UB is 100 people, if adidas produce 100 but 50 resellers bought a pair each, it looks like demand outweighs supply. And the reason those 50 resellers decided to buy a product they had no demand for is because the other 50 willingness to pay more money for it. And saturating the market to meet this artificial demand is just bad business economically speaking.

 
but better keep blaming Adidas and those number y'all don't even know.

Im out... One!

And resellers take huge L's if the shoe is not limited intentionally. Adidas and Nike directly affect resale.

Resellers have no influence if Nike and Adidas don't want them to. They're willing to lose out on the extra profit if it helps generate more hype for their brand.

You want to blame the consumer (sneaker head or hypebeast) but Nike and Adidas control resale through production numbers. They're just as much to blame as the reseller influencing/impacting supply.

Also, from another perspective, resellers are part of the demand (even if artificial). They want the shoe to resell rather than to wear. If supply ends up outweighing the perceived resale value, they disappear.

Does the paint chip on the painted boost? I might get the triple reds but don't want to bother if that sole chips paint.

I'm TTS 11 seems these run large based on your sig... Do you suggest going down 0.5? They comfy?

 

[casper90403]

definitely go down .5 a size. You won't be disappointed. Those are boats. I feel like I'm hooking up with a porn star every time i bring them out and want to wear them.

 

[thehlghlife]

 
For their girl's?

Nothing wrong with rocking a chicks shoe if they are dope...in my opinion. But doubt they make a womens size 12...hah

  Man the Ultra Boost is really a crazy shoe. It's a one in a generation type shoe (IMO) and the comfort just puts them on a whole other level. Kudos to Adidas on this gem.

 Kind of random, but I was just thinking about it in my head when the last time a generation defining shoe came out like this and it's been a minute (at least as far as I can remember)

Best sneaker since the Jordan 11 IMO

Fair enough but if someone's going to talk **** about what I choose to do with my money (to call me a hypebeast on top of it) and my opinions, I'm not going to stand idle.

On another note, how difficult was the OG Chinese New Year release? I finally found them in sz 12 but they cost me a pretty penny. I didn't give them much thought until they were long gone since they grew on me slowly.

Anyone know if the triple whites will eventually restock? Not the 3m, just the regular ones. Thanks!
