Fml I just remembered I have a test in the morning during release of the royals. Fuck fuck....

As of now, it's not a draw. Just "Available 4/01, 7:00 AM" according to SNKRS. When something is a draw it says specifically on there.

But I can't remember if they've ever changed a listing like a day or two before release, so we'll see.

I did something incredibly stupid last night (well, incredibly smart for my finances but disastrous for sneaker purchases)...I created a detailed budget of where my money was going and where it needed to go. Clothes / sneakers are getting the axe :(

Good on you man, I'm trying to cut back the rest of the year. No more multiple color ways of the same shoes. One per silhouette. Gonna be tough passing on those Navy CS2 but I bought the Kith ones. I give a lot of shoes away though.

I feel you. I start tallying and I easily spend over 1000 on sneakers ever year... that's shit I could be saving for a down payment on a house/car/etc. It especially hurts with the shoes that are $200+ a pop.

I've been thinking of cutting back to sale stuff only. :S

Thanks guys! I made a really aggressive set of saving / investment goals and even though I have been good at saving I really don't need a 4th pair of all white shoes lol.

Ok these are miles better than the platinums.

I don't know man. I like that shade of blue on the wires, but I feel like they could do a little bit more.

So far I really enjoyed that Ice Blue you posted. The oreos are cool.

Do you guys know what these are? I searched for White Mountaineering Superstars but I only get the slip ons.

The white mountaineering slip ons are pretty awesome.

The pure boost aren't better than UB but I'd put them above NMDs. As for the all black they released on ADC this past weekend but I don't think they've released on the the US foot sites yet.

Just released yesterday here in the EU, think a few sites still have the new TB3.0 if anyone wants. Sivasdescalvo and nigra mercato come to mind

The Nike lab air vapor max were 250 euros, when I went in for the raffle, thought it would be 170 or 200 but no. Nike really is shafting their customers when it comes to prices atm

just got these to make up for not getting the TB vapor air max.



Loved the pure boost zg (have the bred CW and LiveStock collab), so really excited to try out the new pure boost!

Would like to see some on feet shots once you have them in hand. It's either these or the new Doom Soc for myself.

Anyone use Ultraboost for actual running? I'm thinking of replacing a pair of Mizuno WR16s I have with these UBs: http://www.adidas.ca/en/mens-ultra-boost-st-shoes/BA7838.html (They're a bit pricey right now, so I might find something else with a boost midsole that's built for real running.)
Click to expand...

No, as I've stated a few times in this thread, I've found the UBs too cushioned to actually run long distances - though short sprints/strides seemed okay. There wasn't enough response and resistance after my foot hit the ground to spring back quick enough.

To preface, I run in LunarEpics.

Ah, bummer. I tend to do distance running, so that's disappointing to hear.

I might check out the LEs then, depending on price.

My personal NB boycott makes things hard since the Fresh Foam Zantes sound good this year, at least from what I've read online, but I'm sticking to my convictions there.

Wasn't originally planning on getting this, but decided to give the Adidas site a shot when this launched. Managed to get one before the site timed out. Was a little worried when some people suggested going 0.5 size down on these. But have to say, its fits pretty TTS with socks. You could go 0.5 size down if you wanted a tight fit without socks.

How do ya'll feel about Air Force 1s? Local outlet has a pair of white with navy on for pretty cheap. Small pic, but they look like this:

You can do some warming up at the gym with the Ultra Boosts. I did that for quite some time and it was all cool, but I'd definitely suggest you something like the Nike Pegasus 33. Bought those after researching a bit and they are really good.

So I'm not a sneakerhead by any means, but i need a new pair of trainers and am getting bored of buying Vans and Converses, what's a nice simple good looking pair of Nike/Adidas trainers, budget £30-£90. Would take low top and high top recommendations. I don't wear flashy/extravagant trainers, I'm a simple person. What's in, I wanna be with it. Also am 28 so don't wanna look tryhard :(

Also random question, some years back on Nike's website, I bought a pair of New Orlean Saints trainers for a friend, I customised the colours and stuff but I can't for the life of me find that page again, do they not do it anymore? They had trainers based on the NFL teams in their jersey colours with team logo on the tongue and heel etc and you could customise them with NikeID. Some of them looked nice and I wanted to browse them again but can't find it :(

Nike Roshe Two. Can be had for £55. Super comfy, especially for beaters.

legit question, why do companies make such a limited amount of sneakers? its not like they're the ones that sell it for insane prices.

I'd say go Boost, can get Pure boosts for 95 squid.

Roshe 2 are fine beaters too though
