RF x Adidas Ultra Boost Mids might be dropping next week with the KITH Aspen store launch. Guessing a worldwide launch will come a week or two later.

I would fucking love these, but since most of the collab companies seem opposed to making sizes over 13 I doubt I'll be able to wear them.

Hey GAF,


Not a big shoe guy, but I was just wondering if anybody knew about the availability of the Space Jam Jordans XI coming out Saturday? Are those going to be a limited release or am I going to be able to get a pair, but it might just take a minute due to their popularity? I'm just hoping to get a pair to fulfill a childhood dream of owning a pair. I'm just hoping there's enough for people who wants a pair.

I believe it's a general release but it's going to be a pain in the butt to get them online. Best bet would be to try and get them in person. Everyone goes crazy for 11s and it'll be worse for the Space Jams.

Thanks for the heads up. I hope to get at least a pair. I can't "rock" Jordans to save my life, but I don't really care. I just want them and I'll wear the hell out of them. I saw the other Jordans with the same Space Jam color scheme, in stores the other day during Black Friday, and it seemed like they are readily available. I hope the XI have the same availability. I bought my first of Jordans the other day. First time since I was 10 (I'm 26 now). But I guess these are fairly common.

I'm more of an Nike SB Dunks kind of person. I like the comfort of a skate shoe, but SB Dunks don't have the bulk of a skate shoe. Just bummed that they don't seem to put out more SB Dunks anymore. Not sure if they're just not popular. I hope they make more in the future.

I have a pair reserved on Nike+ app if you want it. It's available until 5pm PST.

The ones you saw were the Jordan XXXIs, with the Space Jam colorways. The XXXIs sit if they are made in any great quantity so they are still readily available. The XIs are a big yearly seller and this year should be no different. I would think that if you try on Nike's site or app and prepare to be patient, you should be able to scoop up a pair. Will take alot of refreshing and waiting though. What I am saying is my best guess and how things have gone down in the past for me.

The weird thing this time for me is that I am not even sure I am getting the XIs. I can afford them, but I really liked the Concords better. The contrast of black and white is so iconic to me. But lord knows the hype will get to me Saturday morning and I will cave in.

That's good to know that I have a better chance than the ones with the "23" in back that they released a couple years back. I was crushed that I couldn't afford them at the time. They're one of the pairs of Jordans I actually wanted. The other ones are these:

I guess these Cool Grey Spizikes (not sure what generation these are) were limited run. I couldn't afford them either. Haha. Now I got a better job and I'm not going to miss my chance with the Space Jams. Treating myself this year. haha

I would appreciate it. It would really mean a lot. How does this work? Can you pass your reservation to someone else? I have the app.
Not sure how it'll work but I'll look into it. I could order it and if you don't get it this weekend I'll keep it for you and you can just pay cost from Nike + ship to your place.

That would be awesome if I'm not able to get them on my own on Saturday. I appreciate it.
 
How do you guys feel about these?

Like what is adidas doing? Why can't they just make more yeezys instead?

I like em a lot. Im okay with having cheaper options too. Yeah they could make more Yeezys but they're still 220$ shoes. Nothing wrong with having an approximation for less than half that. Kind of like In and Out and Five Guys, I feel one is better but having a quality lower cost option is viable as well. Adidas is killing it though I thought about grabbing a colorway of the shadow with their friends and family promotion but they were already cleaned out.

Not a fan. I couldn't care less about these or any other tubulars.

But Adidas is putting out so much heat with their boost stuff (NMD's, ultra boosts, Yeezy's, etc.) so it's cool.

I actually grabbed this pair from Sheik tonight. I find they're more comfy than my Turtle Doves. It has a Yeezy look, but it has its own interesting wrinkles particularly with the pattern change on the arch side.

For $100, was a no brainer cop.

Hmm. I may look into these myself if they're comfortable as you say. Hopefully they are in stores somewhere.

Went into JD today to check out the tubular shadow. Really wasn't impressed with it. However, the Nike lunar charge looked and felt nice. Might go in and properly try them on since they're quite cheap. A nice surprise as it's the first Nike shoe I've liked in a while

Maybe I'm confused but Finish Line has all white Ultra Boosts in stock in pretty much every size. Aren't these hard to get?

http://www.finishline.com/store/pro...-shoes/prod2340000?styleId=BA8841&colorId=WHT

I just ordered a pair, first time I've ever seen UB in stock anywhere in my size.
It's the new 3.0 model, so Adidas is pumping out a lot of stock to kick it off.

Ultra Boosts do sell out, but they restock a lot also so they aren't too hard to get. At least not the regular colors like white, black, certain blues, etc.
 
Just tried on a pair of the LunarCharge at Niketown and I honestly think it might be my next pair of shoes. I adore the sole on the LunarEpic, so I already knew how the shoes would feel on-foot but coupled with the neoprene bootie, super comfortable.

They only had the black and olive color ways but I saw another pair off sneakernews that I liked more. Hopefully I'll see them in-store soon.

Surprised that the Space Jams are only £5 more expensive than regular releases. Nike normally charges way more for XIs.

Having said that the price of 'regular' Jordan releases are already ridiculous here in the UK (£160).

How do they feel versus lunarepics. Lunarepics are meant to be more premium with the tech knit but I really like that lunarlon sole. It's probably the comfiest Nike midsole atm. Only one imo that comes close to my boosts too
