Now that I have disposable income I'm looking to get back in to sneakers. If you could only get one, which would you choose? I want a pair of mostly black sneakers as street shoes/

Adidas Ultra Boost (this colorway can be got 30% off at Road Runner Sports). I also have Crazylight Boost that I actually play in and they're super comfy.

Nike Flight 96. Had these as a kid.

Penny Max 1 in Black. I always wanted these, but in the Orlando colorway. These are still pretty cool.

Ultraboost.

Puma Blaze of Glory x BAU x Frank the Butcher from yesterday:

Has to be one of the top 10 releases for me in 2015. They're incredibly comfortable as well.

Also, I got them off a price mistake at Shiekh for $24.99. Amazing steal.

Definitely a steal at that price, but I'd say Packer Shoes had the best BoG release last year with the "Bloodbath", great execution.

As street shoes, I'd go with the Boost since they're low cut, light and definitely more comfortable.

Get the Ultra Boost.

Also, how do you get it for 30% off?

Those are probably my next BoGs and then the all white Bape collab - too nice.

Today:

That tumbled leather is A1.

There's a 20% "first time visitor" discount at Road Runner Sports. I'm pretty sure it's actually tied to your browser history. Then there's a 10% discount for VIP members, but the membership is $2 for the first year (and then you can cancel).

They only have two colorways though... the one I posted and then a "clear green/mineral" which is super ugly.

That was the only pair I liked from the whole drop, a little too "white" but I do like the subtle use of camo.

Today:

Wore my pair once a couple of weeks ago and they still have a really strong new-shoe smell

 

[VE3TRO]

Anyone got the Tubular X Circular or Tubular X Knit? I got these but none fit nice. I'm a 9 and the closet that fit are the 8 but talk about no room for movement around the toes.

I wondered if anyone had the X Knit versions and if they have more room and stretch. On the Circular they have leather inside above the toe area like it has on the outside so this causes more paddiing. I wondered if the Knit version lacks this.

I have 28 days to return so will wear them around see if they stretch but if not I'll return and try for the Knit in blue. I'll have to try some shops to wear a pair for size but man they are hard to find.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Quality on the Diadora N9000 x Bait collab is top notch. Glad I picked them up!

I have the Tubular Primeknits. They ran large, so I got a size smaller. There's room for the toes definitely.

Semi-related. I need to decide which of these shoes to pick this month.

Tubular Doom

Or EQT 2/3

Boost soles > Tubular soles, but that Doom upper is killer.

Tubular Doom

These are both fantastic.

 

[Jindrax]

Got these ultra boosts 20 euros off.

I'm still torn on which ones are more comfy, uttra boost or pure boost.
They both feel AMAZING

Nike socks with Adidas?

Yeah... they're socks... and a pair of sneakers... I don't really care.

Tubular Doom Primeknit looks killer, but can practically only be worn with joggers in my opinion. A bit too much 'street' while the EQT 2/3 is more casual, if that makes any sense.

Nice.

I just got the all white, grey wools and 3Ms all recently. The grey wools are coming in from Runningwarehouse.com, caught them on a restock yesterday. Next I want the burgundy color and maybe the creams.

I've been on the fence about the triple whites.
I have big feet and they might just look too big in all white

 

[FallingEdge]

I am just afraid of getting all whites dirty. Can't do that.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

I got all white huaraches and UBs and I live in Seattle, lol. Any time I get an all white shoe dirty, I either use Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, or throw them in the washer with light detergent and cold wash. I wash my Flyknit racers this way with no problems.

There's no way I'm wearing all white shoes when it's raining here. I have to wait when it's Sunny, dry and not too cold.

 

[hwalker84]

Yeah... they're socks... and a pair of sneakers... I don't really care.

Just giving you a little shit man it's all in good fun!

[TheBryanJZX90]

These are sold out on the Adidas site in my size.

http://www.adidas.com/us/tubular-gsg9-shoes/S82515.html

I've tried the "find my size" function on the Adidas site and gotten an email twice at 2 am that they found a pair, but by the time I actually wake up and check the site there's nothing. Anyone had success at Adidas with the find my size function?

Anyone know of somewhere I could check out to find these for sale that wouldn't have shown up when I googled the shoe name?

You're lucky. The Ultra Boosts I got are just too tight on my forefoot (where you tie the laces). I tried my true size and a half size up and both were too tight. I guess I have fat feet.

I agree. Didn't realize the EQT were $200 though. Turned me off. I'm going to try my luck and get Dooms for under retail.

I picked the SL Loop Moc from Finish Line's killer sale. You guys should check it out if you haven't. I might go back and pick up some Rocket Boosts. They had them for $48.

I'm debating between the ultras and pures right now. The Pures look more casual and are 50 cheaper, so I'm leaning more towards them atm. I also like the Flyknit Lunars, but just got some Nikes Roshe One Triple Black a week ago so I think I'll go the other route this time.

Also, the Nike Free 3.0 Flyknit Gyakusou are so beautiful, yet they are sold out everywhere. Are more of them coming out later?

Well to be completely honest, the shoe is worth every penny.
I got Pure Boost 1's knitted and they're very thin they feel a little fragile...
While the ultra boost are also prime knitted but they're a lot thicker and feel more premium.

If you can give them both a try IRL, but I can get that it's hard. I've never seen an ultra boost in a store here in Brussels

Those are really hard to find. Only ones I saw were the Ultras yellow, but I want the black ones.

 

[hwalker84]

I've never even seen the Ultraboosts in any store around me. Only saw them when I was in Japan last year but my shoe size is too big for that country. Finally took the plunge a few months ago.

 

[Reckoner]

And...

...Found some Ultra Boosts for my size. These look even better than the photos. Super comfy, also.

 

[Spiderjericho]

I haven't seen Ultraboosts in too many stores. I spotted them in one of those dedicated running shops, Champs and Sports Authority in Japan (lol).

I actually bought the OG color way on Friday. I slept on them when they first came out and was able to track down a pair at a House of Hoops.

Definitely the most comfy shoe I've worn in a long time. They do feel like walking on clouds.

Congrats man

I was thinking uncaging mine and dying the soles black...
But than I actually got them and I couldn't even consider messing with them

I checked some info on that also, but I'm digging the look as it is right now. Seems like an easy process though, just some dye and mink oil. Just gotta be careful.

 

[Kiraly]

Read on NT that the next release of 350 is a restock of the Pirate Blacks. The guy that said it was fully correct on the black 750s and Oxford Tans. Pretty stoked, PBs are dope af and having hope with the 4x supply rumours.

oh yes. yeezus pls.



Also, looks like Space Jams will be the December 2016 Jordan 11s, as it's the 20th anniversary of Space Jam this year. Still my favorite pair of Jordans, still don't own a pair. Will this year be my year?

Spoiler

No. It won't.

Same. While I do love the colorway, I'm really not crazy about the 'Just Us' on the heel.

I plan on buying the normal grey Dooms when I get a chance.

But they keep selling out.

Edit: ordered my size off Wishatl. Saw a Tweet about them.

Glad you pointed that out because Wish cancelled my order, and I'm actually glad that they did because I had a $30 off coupon for Adidas.com which made the CNYs after tax like $131. Sweetness.

Kobe Jordan 3/8 PE might be getting released next month:

[panthapanda]

I do want a pair of the Dooms but I think I'm too late. And screw wish. Seriously, the backdoor shenanigans is stupid. I know a friend that has a friend that works there and also know a person that has a friend there too. Maybe different people but one of them pays his friend money to get the whatever exclusives he wants. Tons of comments on their intstagrams on their "raffles" and hardly any are about how they won. Crazy stuff.

I do need to stop by their shop in all seriousness. Haven't been there yet because I never had a reason lol.

 

[Jay Sosa]

Moin Moin, been looking for sneakers that look low key (like desert boots) but are super comfy and light like Nike Free.

Any ideas? tia

 

[DontBlink]

Got my pair of Tubular Dooms today and damn, they don't really fit 0.5 size bigger. Wish I went with my true size, cause it feels pretty snug at the toes.

Not exactly desert boots but maybe try Cole Haan LunarGrand.

I'm afraid because I went a whole size down.

 

[tracky_dacks]

If you want to part with them and they're a US 9.5-10 and don't mind shipping to Australia, I'll happily take them!

Shattered I missed them.

 

[LosDaddie]

Scored the AJ5 low alternates today! I really love the black & red color scheme. And the low version feels good on the feet...a little less heavy than the fire red AJ5s that I have.

I'll try to post a picture later. And the bullshit that almost went down when I went to claim them (had to do a raffle).

Struck out on the Adidas NMDs today =/

Adidas has been killin' it lately.
