ZOOM SPIRIDONS SUMMER 2016

^the labs are head and shoulders above the ultras as far as true to form/quality go but the comfort on the ultras is nice.

I always prefer OG to ultra/new tech anything but that's just me.

How do you feel about the nikelabs? I'm torn between the whites and a pair of ultras since the OGs are going for more than I'm willing to spend.

Im torn on these as well. Quite honestly I feel like selling off my OG lab pair and getting the ultra instead. Especially since the lab is worth more $ and the ultra is more comfy.

^OG labs fetch over 300$ in certain sizes so you could theoretically flip them and get both colors of the ultra's with some $$$ leftover.

if I could find OG labs in a 13 I'd probably still bite @250$ or so even though I own the ultra OG.

that's my .02$

I compared my Nike Lab pair to photos online of the ultra ( zoomed in pics on end). I am feeling the Nike Lab pair more, especially the tongue material.

The ultra pair doesn't have much design on the midsole compared to the OG. But I do prefer the Nike Air logo on the ultra. But that really can't be seen. Lol.

Mud guard looks all plastic on the ultra pair, but doesn't bother me too much.

End also has them for $130 shipped (2-3) days via fed ex. Save about $20 or so after tax. May buy it there and beat them up, as stated.

The Ultras are more comfortable than the OGs to me. Was kind of surprised b/c I tried the Huarache Ultra and they felt cheap and stiff so I had low hopes for these.

It's no comparison either. The Ultra is leaps and bounds more comfortable in terms of air in the midsole. The zoom unit is clearly thicker than the OG.

Yep. Not even close. It was a very big surprise to me. Had them on for a few hours and thought "well damn, these are good."

only complaint comfortwise with the ultras is the breathablitie of the one piece upper isnt so great. feet feel sweaty after a few hrs of wearing them.

This makes me feel better about contemplating just getting the Ultras. Thanks, bros

So with these Ultras TTS is the move?  The non-Ultra joints were doable in my TTS 11, but were a tad snug widthwise due to having kinda wide feet.  I'll be good with the 11, right?

i wore my lab og release at least 100 times since july. so comfy. i'm for sure copping ultras if you guys say they're more comfy. and thank god they finally hit swoosh. My lab og color still looks good. 7.5/10 condition. just creasing on the 3M /=. gonna double up on those soon. my boy didn't know if he would fit 9.5 or 10 so he bought both online and gonna give me the homie price on the 9.5. NIKE NEEDS TO DROP THE OG BLUE AND BLACK!!

10VALENTINE code knocks off another $10 but since it's on sale, they're gon' charge shipping so try and do a store pick-up if it's available by your location

I have a sz13 in the ultras but have some heel slippage so .5 size down would be doable for most I'd say.

swoosh is free shipping and no tax under $200 in nyc though

Last time I had an issue with Villa (and probably prevents me from shopping with them in the future) I literally had to call everyday until I got a real human as soon as their lines open and complain nonstop. Eventually demanded a manager after a few days of false promises. "Amazingly" received my refund within about 2 seconds of talking to the manager. I really hate being "that customer," but after tons of chances you kinda have to be a jerk.

I FINALLY got a call back just yesterday after more than a week of waiting...3 phone calls and 2 emails later. I asked for a different size since they were big on me. They said that they would only exchange it for the same product. I said yes ok great I just want a different size. They said I would have to return them on my own dime then and re-buy them. I lost it on the phone....

I said I waited over a week to get a reply and you sent me defective shoes that should have been checked prior to shipping and now you are not going to allow me to exchange them for the same shoe but a different size? They said sorry company policy. So I started a claim with Nike to get a voucher issued. I still have to pay for return shipping to Nike though.

I'm going to file a complaint about Villa when I get some spare time and will NEVER buy from them again. Terrible way to run a customer service division.

villa is the WORST!

I'm so glad that tons of us ate off them w/that thankyou30 code between this thread and the true blue aj3 thread.

I bought a pair before I knew the code worked and then bought two more using the code and had to contact them 6x before I finally got a reply about returning the pair I paid full retail on.

Damn so is the consensus now Ultra > OG in terms of comfort and wearability?

For me, the actual comfort of walking on the midsole is night and day difference. Its that much better. Perhaps the zoom is double stacked.. I don't know.

Glad I tried the Ultras on today.  Joints def run big.  TTS would've been way too long for my liking.
