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

[jape]

 
UB's don't touch Asics, Brooks, etc. for actual running.  Brooks Ghost series and Gel Nimbus FTW.

you should make a brooks thread im sure it'll be a hit

I would roll an ankle running in boost, its just too bouncy for me, and the knit is not gonna lockdown my foot.

 

[bigstress]

Prob gonna strike out on SNS/SS...would 3M 1.0 trade be a crazy?

 

[freakydestroyer]

Only $ made if was bought w/ employee disco

Worth getting caught up and fired for $50 - $70 come up? For sure.

I mean you can get away with 1 or 2 right? Or team up with a couple friends working at the same place.

whenever i put on a DS pair of UB's, I feel like I could challenge Usain Bolt and barely lose to him, only because he got out the blocks quicker than me.

I'll challenge you then.

This is my go to thread for everything. So does anyone know of any deals on plan tickets? I haven't traveled much so I don't know this stuff.

So I finally ran in BOOST to see what the hype was about. As a running shoe, the Adios3 was decent, but I didn't vibe with them as well as I had hoped. The Ultra Boost aka "greatest running shoe ever" was a MASSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT for me. I ran in the 2.0s. They were super bouncy and felt unstable for me. I felt significant arch pain about a 1/2 mile in. I had to take a pit stop and switch to other shoes. I usually try to run through it, but pain was too unbareable for me. I only lasted one mile in them at a 7:40 pace. After RUNNING in BOOST tech, I finally got to experience what everyone was talking. HYPE. I was expecting a BOOST in performance... So much for the "greatest running shoe ever" [emoji]128580[/emoji]

Today, I made the switch back to the SWOOSH and ran in this colorway for the first time... I felt like I performed so much better in the FKRs than any of the BOOST shoes I tried.

Although, I'll be returning my unworn BOOST based shoes, I'll admit, as a casual shoe, the ULTRA BOOST is one of the comfiest shoes I've ever worn. adidas should change their pitch to the "greatest walking shoe ever" [emoji]128517[/emoji]

For those that's too lazy to read lol
Boost = walk
Racer = run

What's wrong with them? The date and the font might be different but I doubt they are fugazi.

sorry if i am bringing up an old topic with winnsports, but my pair just came in and i need some opinions.

these are a size 14, i know there are quality issues with glue and whatnot, but my concern is if this pair matches up being legit or not,

picutres i have in question are the size tag, it seems as if my font is a lot thinner, as well has the digits seem to be a lot larger than @reigning pair,

also i don't know if this is a fair comparison but the tag on the 1.0 box looks completely different than the 2.0 boxes.

also like i mentioned glue stains are normal, but what got me was a crack in the boost? like really!?!

anyways if you could shine some light upon this,that would be much appreciated, and also i apologize if this was already brought up in the past

with winnsports pairs, its been so long and buried deep that i cannot find it to cross reference,

I have several pairs of CB 1.0's from RevUpSports, Amazon, and SoccerSavings. There is some variation in the font on the labels and tag. And they all have some imperfections on the shoes.

 

[gopowergoh]

For what its worth I've had winnsports pairs sell on goat and theyre always authenticated with no problems

 

[pardonmysarong]

FWIW: a guy in my local group is currently in Japan right now and he said the trace cargos just dropped this morning (3-4 hours ago) at Adidas stores and are currently sitting. FSR till US13 @ 25000 yen. Hope this helps anyone who has contacts over there

The UB gets zero love amongst the running community, as you've just found out. Boost is supreme for lifestyle/casual wear, but as an actual performance shoe these are expensive failures. 

the 1.0/2.0s at least had thicker uppers which provided a little more support, I can't even imagine how running in the 3.0s would be like

 

[gordyloc]

I have them and I don't get it either (despite loving them though), sans the idea that maybe they're the collab associated with when UBs took off? (Guessing)

Although you could cherry pick the whole "It's just ____ with____." to fit any UB that people pay (or overpay) above retail for. People were congratulating each other for overpaying for an all gray shoe passing for a collab not a page or two ago.

Same experience with me. Definitely not the greatest running shoe ever.

LOL wow, that's crazy they just had UM UB's chillin there. I'm heading over to the east coast tomorrow but I doubt they are still available.

repped!

thats good to know, thought it was odd for a minute until you re-insured,

i was also thinking it could have been from a different batch thats why the size tag labels looked different?

For what its worth I've had winnsports pairs sell on goat and theyre always authenticated with no problems

thats good to know

repped

all in all i just wanted to make sure these were legit,

i guess either now i decide if i want to return them because of that crack in the boost, im afried it will get even deeper and longer over time the more its worn
