They finally put a boost sole in eqt!!!

Eqt is an underated and awesome looking adidas silhouette. Now that it has boost as well, its a must cop!

I like the EQT silhouette but not a fan of the branding on these colabs. Hopefully it means that more future EQTs will have boost, though!

I got the Space Jams and Shattered Backboards with that deal. I was planning on getting the Space Jams for regular price this weekend. Glad this popped up first.

Man I've been lusting for these recently.

Tried them on at a consignment shop and they were really comfortable. Haven't bought a pair of forces in a while. I think it's because I missed out on the SF1s. Resell isn't that bad but I know they're sitting at Lenox mall. Idk if it's in my size, they might just have women sizes left. I need to go back again lol.

Ended up buying a pair of UB 3.0s this evening. Had to go half a size down because I prefer a snug fit. Might swap the stock laces for my white 3M flats.

Pics in a bit.

Any tips for getting the sockless look for lows? I have some super short ankle socks but there usually ends up being some that sticks out.

The climacool no show socks from Adidas work great for me. I have like 6 pairs each of black and white, they're basically the only socks I wear. They feel good and they're fairly thin so they don't alter the fit of shoes at all.

Seems like they only have large in black right now, but these are them: http://m.adidas.com/us/climacool-superlite-super-no-show-socks-3-pairs/B91336.html

So I picked up a pair of the UB 3.0 in the royal blue/white and am currently debating between the two laces before you. I like the pop of white with the white laces but would like to hear your opinions as well.

Thanks for the link, lookalike I'll be picking some up for my Air Max 90s and NMDs.

Nice, if I didn't have the Royal 2.0s I would have really liked to have the 3.0s. It's a good CW for UB

If any of you guys are into vintage retro nike's, Jordan Geller owner of the shoezeum is selling a shit ton for good prices. I bought some og nike sb dunks from him. He updates his IG starting around 10am PST, from then on almost every 10 min with new sneakers. Yesterday was mostly jordans. Be fast as he takes down posts after he sells em.

Yeah, I've been eyeing his insta hard over the past couple of days. I see him around quite a bit as he actually lives in my neighborhood and I've said hello to him when he was out and about.

I don't actually follow shoes at all and generally just buy for comfort but I am curious about the Chinese New Year UB 3.0's. I'm just a huge fan of the multi colored PK and FK. Did those already come out? Is there going to be another drop? I'm certainly not ever going to pay reseller prices for some ultraboosts for wearing.

I feel myself getting sucked back in. Just barely missed a pair of the kith x adidas mid boosts in my size. I was sure that those would be impossible to get for "around" retail price but damn....so close. I really just want a multicolor ultra boost or uncaged ultraboost and then I'm done for a while.

Just grabbed a pair of Sock Darts off NDC 'cause they were discounted. Been wanting a pair since I tried 'em on. Don't really need another grey sneaker, but whatever. I've been transition my wardrobe to more blacks and neutrals as of late anyways.

I almost wish I could stop buying blue sneakers, but after my last pickup of UB 3.0s in royal blue & white... I think. I'm doomed to continue picking up blue sneakers.

Still, hope you like them! Been thinking of picking up a pair of sock darts myself but not sure what to wear them with.

Those are nice, if they could make them waterproof, they would be the perfect autumn/winter shoe

Hell yea that's what I remember. The whole era of Air Force 1's I largely ignored because of Nelly and how popular they were the mainstream. The dunk SB low era though? Dude's were rocking the fuck out of those. I do remember them being not all that comfortable though. That's the best part of the boosts getting popular. It's like fat people finally realized hey light running shoes are actually way better to walk around in.

So I got these in today. Some interesting differences between this and PK R1's

Click to expand...

Weren't any size 13's left when I got onto Adidas' site (which is what my PK R1's are) so I just grabbed a 14 (my size for most other shoes). Figured they'd be too big, but wanted to try. It's lucky I did because I don't actually think I can size down on R2's. The primeknit feels a little more snug and socklike than R1's and that brick is actually noticeable on the inside of my foot. Pretty sure they'd be digging into my feet if I had gone below a 14, so seems like going TTS is best with R2's.

They're pretty dope on feet, though. They look and feel great.
