Has anyone not looked at their outsole before wearing them??

be like
Indeed, the first thing I looked at when I saw the shoe in person is the outsole; they look EXACTLY like that brand new. I'm sure it's designed that way because of how runners land. Again, this is a shoe made for running; it'll have its looks.

I don't own any boost but went to a local finish line to do a comparison. In this case it was definitely the swoosh over the boost. Just my preference no shade. I was so undecided on which color to get of the Epic react. These things moved incredibly fast in the LA area. All they had left at this store were the navy and the gray. Im going to hit another store today that has all of the colors except the white ones and make a decision. I'll most likely get my mom a pair as well.
That grey and the navy both looking really nice right there. Im still holding still with my one white fusion pair.

Went ahead and copped the navy pair and took a quick pic of the bottom they do come like that...

Only thing I don’t like about the epic reacts is the midsole creases very easily.

Adidas only owns the rights to the name "Boost", not the actual tech, thats why puma was able to put "boost" on their shoes too, they just had to rename it.
As for the react tech, i've been wearing mine all week and definitely prefer them to the ultraboost, they feel more solid on feet, but traction is totally **** though. its been snowing here and as soon as i step inside of work i feel like im gonna slip on the floor.

Went TTS in the black/ grey. Glad I went in to try them on, surprisingly a little longer than normal nikes and was comfortably snug over the midfoot. I think half up would’ve been too much wiggle room.

its a little odd though, to be honest.justed381 i know, it’s what I bought them for, does that mean I can’t dislike midsole creasing?
I mean, its the midsole. YOu're taking steps with them with your feet.

I think I am going to black out the blue react section on the triple blacks.... its unnecessary and I rather the shoe just be all black.

This is my fear. I was like that with the Vapormax. I have to hold steady with one pair for now.

I cut back on vapormax and was feeling good. Then I checked my total so far this month and I’ve got more pairs than the numerical date. If it isn’t one it will be another. Give in.

Noticed this too on my first wear, but I was just walking on Target's dusty floors..
The harder outsole at the toe and heel didn't have much traction until I got them dirty

are we talking about UB 1.0 levels of traction/slippery?

You sure you didn’t get them confused? Lol I found the ER way more springy and a bit more firm than UB. UB are more pillowy and less springy imo...
