Yes! Another huge thanks from me. I'm new here but I've been eyeing the AB and this thread. I tried this code on the grey pair on Modell's and it worked. Free shipping and no tax for me. I was down to the grey color and aramis, this kind of settled it. ty again!

Very good price but which color are you getting from that link?

Color description says white/silver/black so I would assume it is for the white pair (they usually list the main colorway of the shoe first) but the first colorway shown is the grey pair but they also show the white pair.

 

[computerz]

Hmm now I'm not too sure. I initally went off the item numbers from Footlocker and Finishline. Both show AQ8214 as the greys. Your question made me look around some more and eBay has AQ8214 as white. Oh well, the two options aren't that far from each other, so either way it'll be a nice surprise. I'll keep the thread updated when they arrive.

Hey all

First time poster but been following for a while

Picked up the B42707 & AQ8214 for me and my girlfriend and absolutely love em!

honestly feeling these more then the boost..

.  

 

[rfx45]

So does that confirm that AQ8214 is the one with the white upper and not grey?

 

[l knicks fresh knick l]

NICE PICS of you and your girl. i need that black pair as well

Local deal. A friend of a friend was asking for $90 because they were too big, I said I had $67 on me and he went for it.

Edit realized I said "shipped" out of habit lol

 

[mattomo]

The AQ8214 has a light grey upper.

Here is a close up pic

But on the topic of all white i just saw this posted on instagram (@dyv_import) 

Dont think they are legit but will give a rough idea of what the all white will look like when it drops

welcome and thanks for sharing @mattomo

those white pairs you're wearing are clean, but i'm still waiting for a colorway that i really want before i make my alpha bounce purchase.

I have a pair of the OG UB's which I wear casually (but run in from time to time) and I tried the AlphaBOUNCE shoe...definitely impressed with the Bounce foam.  Adidas has the cushion and comfort game on lock right now and it's not even close.

 

[nismogtr]

I agree, these AB are very comfy.

i really hope i dont sound like a nike stan when i say this but comfort/cushion isnt new in these types of sneakers (runners) and although ultra boost get my top rating plenty of nike shoes and other adidas shoes come pretty damn close. so much so that it often comes down to aesthetics when its all said and done. if we use the ultra boost as the standard and give it a 10/10 then rocket boosts, pure boosts 1 and 2, y-3 retro boosts and pretty much anything with a full boost sole will give you that comfort youre looking for. on the nike side youve hot og huaraces and the nm's, presto's if you dont have wide feet, sock darts, and pretty much anything with a thick phylon sole gives you pretty damn near boost level of comfort.

that said the alpha bounces feel just as good as my huarache NM's and i rank them pretty high

 

[rfx45]

Not to mention the runners like LunarEpics and Pegasus 33 which has a forefoot zoom to go along with it's heel zoom.

In the end it just depends on your preference.

I have a pair of Rocket Boosts that I bought at a European outlet for $50.  Yes it's comfortable but the transition when you walk or run is nowhere near as smooth (to me at least) as the UB's but the price makes it a good value.

My major issue with Adidas is the same as most people: fit. Nike runners I know that I am a 10 but with Adidas, not the case.

Rocket boosts are defiantly a looser shoe. Specifically the cline cool ones because the materials are so thin. I almost think that's by design because the climaheat rocket boosts fit more snug in my opinion. But when you factor in price and the level of comfort you do get there are plenty of full boost options adidas offers that aren't $180. At the end of the day after all is said and done and the the shoes are worn in my ultra boosts fall in line with most of my other shoes of that type

Preach ! You don't have to shell out 180 for full length boost .

damn these look good. are primeknit versions coming out? or is that just a wish?

 

[rfx45]

Looks like no primeknits in the near future, just the same upper plus EMs are coming.
