Every time I entertain the idea of getting a pair of UBs, I just can't do it. I don't like the lace cages, and the cageless ones I'm not particularly fond of either. Some of the older knit patterns are really cool, and I'd be more tempted if they still made those, but the current 3.0 and the upcoming 4.0 just look off to me.

Im just gonna say they look way better in person and on feet.
Edit: anyone got a eqt 93/17 boost? Im still debating to go tts or half size up when my color finally drops. I keep going back and forth. I dont like going sizes up, but many say to go up, and many say go tts.

I think that could work also. Depends on how tight you like to feel.
I've got some room but not that much room.
Half size down seems to be the way to go. I dislike bulky shoes anyhow, so anyway to slim it down is good.

You'll be fine. I went TTS on my NMDs and there is definitely extra room in my NMDs, they are bigger than my pair of Ultra Boosts or my Roshes, which are TTS for me.

I generally recommend the same size you wear for regular AF1s or Jordan 1s. For me, half size down works for the Mids.
For the Highs, I probably should have gone TTS actually just because getting in the shoe is such a PIMA

You should be fine. AF are generally bulky shoes so they should still fit. If they don't, just try thinner or no insoles
I like my shoes a bit loose and not "tight" feeling, so hopefully half size down is still ok. If it's similar to AF1 then I should be alright.
My bigger worry is that sock style. It was too tight for me when I bought some Ultraboost Uncaged and had to return it. Couldn't stand how snug it felt
Anyone have recommendations for thinner insoles that fit Ultraboost? Or while I'm at it, Nike Free Flyknit 2016?

Waited an hour at the Adidas store here in Toronto and managed to cop a pair of Japan Black's. Heard a lot of negative things about the NMD's but these are pretty niiiiice. Might get a lighter colourway sometime in the next few months.

What kind of negative things? I absolutely love the NMDs.

Negatives on NMDs? Never really heard anything unless they're saying they're less comfortable than UBs which is true.
Other than that, my 1st pair of NMDs have lasted way longer than my 1st pair of UBs that's for sure and I've walked/stood in them the same amount - except the UB's sole split after about 6 months while the NMDs have not.
That negativity was probably someone talking about the mesh NMD's.
Primeknit NMD's will always be a fantastic shoe as far as looks and comfort.

Echoing everyone else, never heard anything about NMDs. They feel great and Adidas offers a lot of CWs across a lot of different price points.
Way looser. To the point where i need to size down and its still looser.
I read your complaint about the uncaged being too tight earlier. I had the same complaint when i got it, but after breaking it in with thick socks, after a week it is perfect fitting.
hypebeasts are shitting on the NMDs since they're readily available now, wah

It's loose by default so if you go a half to a whole size down you're golden.
Mesh nmds are awesome. I love mine almost as much as my pks.
Unquestionably.
Ohh, yeah I can see that. The resell market has seemingly cooled a bit on most non-collab NMD's and ultra boosts.
I know and it's great, finally can get NMDs, Inikis, UBs, PBs, and EQTs at the stores where you can try them on!
Cant find an EQT 93/17 boost in store to save my life.
Definitely. All of my shoes are like this, from ub to Nike to vans

Love my triple white gum sole NMD R1s. Went a full size down and they fit like a dream.
Edit - went full size down with my triple black Japan's too. Triple whites seem to be sitting on shelves still, triple blacks sold out everywhere.
I've come around to keeping them. Got a decent collection now: AJ1 Black Yin yang, Aj10 Londons, Grey Jordan Eclipse, NMD R1 white, NMD tb Japans. Also a leather Timberland pair to use as beaters.
Gonna put aside a few quid a week to save up for the next hyped release.

Took massive L today. Didn't expect UBs to get restocked in my city and lo and behold 10 is the biggest size they had. One of the foot locker workers were saying I should've came in earlier when the NMDs dropped bc they had a wide array of sizes for UBs. 10 was way too tight, could've done for 10.5-11.
Though the Adidas Canada at Dundas had some really interesting new releases. Though I've got to say, this really caught my eye, especially the flashy stripe layout:

Yep it was mostly towards the mesh NMD's. Lot of my buddies have been collecting for a while and the general consensus I've gathered from them is that even though they all appreciate how the NMD's looks it kinda gets overshadowed by the EQT 93/1x, and UBs, and the Iniki Runners are versatile across different fits.
When I was at the Dundas Square store there were quite a few people walking out either with both Japan Black and White, or a Japan Black/White and UB in tow. I think Champs got some as well from what I heard

Yeah by the time I went there, it was sold out (tried the Champs at Eaton's + North on Yonge).
on the off chance you get an L on the breds, those kicks would be a solid backup pair. hyperdunks have always been exceptional ball kicks in my experience

What do you guys think of the new Weeknd x Puma sneaker, the Puma Parallel?
Comes in olive and white, I believe.

Plenty of similar white high tops out there that won't involve giving money to a sample thief, misogynist, and Orientalist

If you want something that looks almost identical then there is FOG's Military Sneaker.
They are over $1K though.
