ADIDAS X YEEZY COLLAB OFFICIAL THREAD *NO LC's PLEASE*

Finally a long wear with the Israfil on Saturday.
8am-9pm wear.

I took 26543 steps.
1st 350 since the Turtle Doves.

I must say the comfort is really bad.
Like really bad.
So bad that I might donate these to the Nephew.
Gave him a pair of UltraBoost and Vapormax yesterday and the Israfil almost went with them.
Even when he left I was still contemplating going to grab them for him.
It might have been just too much wear for them, 13hrs/26k steps.
The area with the purple circle is the problem area for me.

Any on foot of the Covellite 380. The ads have me tempted to cop lol

Please expand.

Initial feeling when you first put them on?

When did things go South (how many hours later)?

Also, do you purchase a snug or somewhat loose fitting size in the 350? Photo seems like the latter...

Regardless, I must say; I don't think wearing anything that is not a purpose-built high performance or work shoe would pass a 13hr wear test. 700 v1/v2 mayyybe???

Thanks.

This is like buying a sports car and complaining because it won’t haul your 15 ton trailer.

Kyanite dropping Thursday? Lol

 

[spidey85]

the Kyanite is something I'm go for i like it . I'm probably try for the foam runners .

Is it? Hmm, interesting take. I’ve never heard any boost sneaker spoke of like that. I thought they were “known for comfort”

The photo I pulled was a stock photo, not an on foot from me.
I have them TTS.
The discomfort came not long after being up and on them.
The initial feel isn't the best, in those same purple spots.
It feels almost like I'm missing an insole and standing on a super flat sole, with no arch or something.
The sides feel like, I'm almost in the wrong size(slightly to wide).
I did try to add an insole a couple of hours into the wear from a pair of UB's I keep at the office for Rains/Snows that pop up when I have a nicer shoe on, and that helped a bit. After a few hours of having that in, the wear felt suffocating so I removed it.
My Saturdays are always 13hr days so I'm super specific normally on the Sneaker I chose, for example I can't wear any of my 95's
Vapormax is usually my go to.
Ultra Boost is that 2nd choice for Saturdays.
The Israfil will never be that shoe again.

This seems like the kind of insole that it needs.

Thanks for sharing.

Without spouting out a bunch of my own assumptions based on your feedback, I would simply say the 350 is not enough of a shoe for your preferences... especially if the Vapormax is one of your go-to's. That shoe is a granite rock in comparison to the 350... and it is a purpose-built performance shoe... as is the UB which you also mentioned and is equipped with a torsion plate.

edit: I've tried to get into the Vapormax thing twice now and now have the same disdain for them that you have for the 350. They feel awful right from the start.

jopx If the VM and UB are purpose-built performance, what would you categorize the 350 as?

Biggest issue was..... You bought them TTS.
350 V2s run snug. TTS is a definite no go.
size up should be mandatory.

 

[frenchbreadbuilds]

too be fair, 350s were running TTS for me from statics to cynders. aftet that the next pair i got were zyons and they fit small like the pre static yeezys. Zyons were the last 350 i copped so idk if the same still applies. but there was def a period in time where i could go TTS without having issues.

 

[howdythere]

350s are meant for casual wear, not heavy duty wear. I thought that was pretty crystal clear. Being on your feet for 13 hours and walking nearly 27000 steps is going to feel uncomfortable regardless of what you’re wearing.
Maybe next time you should go on a mountain hike in the Rockies with your 350s on, report back to us how bad the 350s did.

I don't take what they're saying personally. The 350 is comfortable, but, I kind of agree. Personally I think it's the rubber outsole that makes it less comfortable than a traditional UB.

All Boost sneakers are not equal, my dude.

Mesh NMD R1s (especially 1st/2015-2016 gen) are notoriously uncomfortable, for example.

Hollowed out boost with foam blocks inserted. Mad uncomfortable for me.

I have one pair of vapor max that I bought for regular short distance running (<3-4 miles/run). They felt REALLY unstable in heel/toe transition and I really couldn’t stand them for that. Previously, I would do shorter runs in Flyknit Racers and UBs (both of which are kinda made for this) but was obviously quite disappointed in VMs).

Lifestyle/Leisure.

 

[mr z]

Still on the fence about the Kyanite.

Have never owned a 700 v3. Is there really a need to go a full size up for wide footers?

I wear size 11 in every single yeezy silo except the desert boots and I would say my feet are wide. Yeezy sizing is pretty simple for me now. Idk man…I guess it’s just based on how your foot is shaped.

 

[ADDICTED]

First pair of 700s. Def gonna be picking up more of these but I didn’t realize the midsole starts creasing so quick

 

[perfectchaosrei]

hopefully, if there's ever a 350 v3,they bring back the heel tab...otherwise, they look kinda keebler elfish to me

 

[howdythere]

You guys can keep the 450s, I’m taking these.

 

[howdythere]

Not 100 percent confirmed, but it looks like the Beluga 1.0 is coming back in 2021.

Just got mine in today. My first non-v3 700. So amazing looking. Hard to want to wear them because they look too clean, but, I wear my shoes.

Not 100 percent confirmed, but it looks like the Beluga V2 are coming back in 2021.

Saw that. I missed on the Bred restock so that cannot happen here. These are better than Breds to me anyway. Must have.
