If you got extra cash to spend sure. silhouette is nice but hype has made this shoe a lot better than it really is.
Get em if you like the way they look. Comfort wise I think they are fine, and comparable to my other Boost shoes except the UB. Those with narrow feet and/or high arches seem to dislike them more since they are pretty much completely flat inside. But I like the looks enough to pay more than they are really worth, and I don't expect too much from them. They're meant to be simple, lightweight travel shoes and they are fine for that. They will never be UBs, and those who compare the two will always be disappointed. I will say that I tried on a mesh pair and didn't like the feel at all, so I am only interested in the CKs and PKs.
If you go in with the mindset that it'll be as bouncy as an Ultra or Pure Boost, no. Based on your list, I'd say the closest to feel would be a 350 although I'd argue that you feel what little heft (mostly the outsole) the 350 has, more than any of the NMDs. Not sure which Y-3s you own to have any basis of comparison.
That's also a good point. I failed to mention in my post that, being flat and wide footed, I benefit a little more from the NMD (as a casual shoe in general) I think.To be fair though, they are uncomfy IMO for any kind of long standing job or a lot of walking. I do have a high arch so that adds to it. I use em for the gym during leg days though (literally at the gym now) and they are flat enough for squats.
if you look at how each pair is built, it makes perfect sense ^^
No arch support. Feel my arches collapse in these.
there are already fakes on ebay etc.
I've seen the few fakes there are, crazy that they made those fakes tho with there being so little information on them (from what I can find)
Comfort-wise are they better than the Key City? I picked up the black PKs last month and while I don't mind the lack of arch support or insole in the shoe, the thing on the heel has been bugging me. Definitely don't feel like I could go w/out socks in these.
To me they're more comfortable than the dooms, less comfortable than the UBs, and about in line with the Y3 ZGs. Never tried on a pair of the Yeezys so can't comment on those. Stylistically they're nice but not sure if they're really ~$100 over core black UB nice. Not to mention I think they're probably diluting the NMD look a bit with all the meshes. Market feels pretty saturated with all those right now.
It's a different fit, I personally find it more comfortable than other PK NMDs but I've also never worn the key city since mine are a size too big. I'd imagine they're more comfy than average PK NMD because they have a leather/soft heel tab instead of plastic, but the city sock hugs your foot in a different way.
Yeah I figured they'd be a lot more in demand but they seem pretty attainable right now, resale prices not that high. Maybe people are holding out for the US release. I'm definitely planning on doubling up.
Most of the EU boutiques that are stocking them ship worldwide.
