Can you post a side by side pic of the PB's with a Roshe (preferably OG mesh) of the same size?
I was one of the first people to call out "Yoshe!!!" when I first saw the yeezy 350 boost. Discovered that's a horrible association... The Roshe is not even close, even flyknit equipped - which has not been flattering for that model imho...
When I compare the Roshe and 350 in-hand; its very easy to see the bargain-beach-shoe formula in the Roshe and the quasi-ruggedized high fashion formula in the 350. Then there's the full length boost sole which allows the 350 to run away from the roshe in the technology and comfort design department. It really is two different worlds.
I then stumbled across a lunar flyknit chukka I picked up from a boutique in summer 2013 with a $170 MSRP. Everything clicked... Many traditional shoe stores display/sell moccasins and chukkas in the same style section. The 350 boost is priced just right - zero gouging. The lunar chukka offers a much closer relation/purpose/class to the 350 vs. any Roshe including the natural motion stuff... See below and please do share your thoughts.
