i predict we'll see a balenciaga/zanotti hybrid monstrosity in the lineup.
also curious what the pricepoint will be since rickdidas are hitting $700+ now.

Haven't really followed but I remember reading about two shoes with one being a trainer, the other a higher end shoe that will cost more.
Saw this on Sole Collector:

never really liked the yeezys but when you put them side by side like that god DAMN lol

I'll wait for official release details to make up my mind. they have some potential, I like the toebox area, just not feeling the sole too much. we'll see soon, I also wanna see the other colorways, one in "solar red" is expected.

Not a lot of info is known about the Adidas Yeezy model. I have faith in the brand based on the Big Sean Metro High, King Push, Pharrell X Stan Smiths, Y-3s, Tubulars, Fluxs, etc.
I'm also hopin the Ultra Boost gets produced in more numbers.
And I did the turn on the Nike Metrocon 1. I want the Orange/Blue/Black pair but they're sold out online. Want to use them as a cross trainer.
We're about to head into a crazy two week period thanks to all of the ASG related releases. Jeez. I need a raise.

When it comes to 1s, it's always a frustrating experience buyin them online/in store since 2012, imo (for me).
!!! Fragments were the absolute most frustrating. The only option was to buy them on NDC (and we all know how that goes with ATC, bots, etc).
!! Royal Blues. Another cluster but at least the fun was spread across FNL and NDC (or maybe it was FTL and NDC). Locally, there were like maybe 2-3 shops in the state of Florida that got them.
! BREDs. This one was crazy too. But it did appear there were higher numbers than the above two.
I'm hoping all of these sneaker blogs and message boards don't hype the Chicagos much. Previously, it was a cake walk to get Chicagos.
We'll see how the Laser release goes tomorrow.

Aren't they throwing the boost sole on everything (Tubular, Y-3, etc)?
It really is too early to judge. The turn could come at the official unveiling. And regardless, they're going to sell out anyway.
The Lasers were easy to get this morning. Seems like the Black/Gums and Lasers are not for everybody.
However, I was sleeping (not literally) when they threw the Lunar 3 preorder up? Now I have to play the terrible NDC game. This morning, I struck out on the Lasers on NDC. They added straight to cart on all the others.

Just pre-ordered these on Nike.com for my wife: NDC-exclusive pink multicolor FlyKnit Lunar 3:
...just in time for her birthday/Valentine's Day gift...especially since I had no idea what to get her. *whew*
I was upset earlier this morning cuz I found out about these going on sale too late that I couldn't order a size 6...but I just realized a few hours later that's her size in men's. Her womens size is 7.5, which was still available so I ordered them asap lol.
I totally missed out on my size on the mens yellow multicolor FlyKnit Lunar 3...oh well. I'll settle for other colorways when it comes out on a wide release.

Keep refreshing the page. You might be able to get your size.
I missed out on the initial two size runs thrown on the web site. Saw someone post on NT that there were a whole bunch of sizes just thrown up.
I was so happy I was able to buy my size. Now all I need to focus on the 12th is the KD's.
Edit: Do you post as yancancook90 on NT?

10s in the men's multicolor did show up again but I was too late as I couldn't add it to my cart. It's all good, I'm sure there will be all kinds of other multicolor lunar 3 colorways later on. I ended up stocking on a lot of clearance rack colors in the 1s and 2s as I use and abuse them for running, lol. I'm sure I'll be doing the same with the 3s.
The yellow mc's would have been nice for me to rock in my marathon next month, though. :|
Oh, and that's not me on NT, yo.
Spiderjericho
Member
My bad. That person mentioned buying a pair for his GF.
And all hope isn't lost. The shoes officially drop on the 12. So you might still be able to break necks on that marathon.
I personally can't rock them for running since I have flat feet and knee problems. But they're a beautiful shoe. I have to say the FK Racer, FK Lunar 1, FK Lunar 3 and upcoming Lunarglide 7s all have beautiful uppers. I wish someone would combine he breath ability, light weight with the support and cushion in say a Brooks, ASICs, etc.
And those MOCs are hot.
I'm waiting for the brown ones myself.
The Yeezys actually look alright from those last few shots, but for the $300 asking price? lmao
Spiderjericho
Member
The sneaker manufacturers are the new resellers. They'll sell out at $300. No different than the $200+ Nike charged.
Adidas is doing a lot of different things with this release. The count down/stream, the app to purchase the shoe, the hype generated by the Grammys, etc.
Spiderjericho
Member
Neither did I!!
I hopped on NT and saw the thread explode. At first, I was like it's over. But sizes kept popping up. They even gave expedited shipping.
They (the WMNs MC and MNs Orange/black) drop on Thursday so all is not lost.
And even more pics of the YeezyxAddidas have popped up thanks to him attending the Grammys.
Crazy and expensive time to be a sneaker enthusiast.

Hybebeasts be jumping on the Women's Nike Zoom FlyKnit Agiligy at Nordies this morning...and they already ran out of the 7.5s for my wife...dang it =P
Seeing those LeBron 12-like Zoom pods look kinda odd on that FlyKnit racer upper, though.
Oh well, I least I got in on the Lunar 3s for her...it was either one or the other.

Good thing I didn't pre-order the Lunar 3s in the 10s I've been getting with the 1s and 2s...Runner's World is reporting Nike finally opened the toebox a little more this time around:
http://www.runnersworld.com/shoe/nike-flyknit-lunar-3-mens
I'll have to try it in-store before I can decide which size to get.

Great racer collection! I traded my red racers last year and have been regretting it since. =(
Did anyone cop the Air Max 1 Bred/Valentine's? Tried all weekend from the Euro sites but failed. NDC release here in a Australia was a joke!
I'm a Nike guy. Though I've been watching Adidas from a far. I need some Y-3 or a better colorway of the Yeezy's.
The only real competition to the Roshes are the ZX Fluxes; the Roshes are more comfy because of its Lunar insole while the Fluxes are built better. Personally I prefer the Fluxes, my feet just feel better in them. The Roshes are also kind of played out by now, if that kind of stuff bothers you. Nike has run this model into the ground with a million zillion colorways. That said, black mesh upper Roshe with a white midsole = unfuckwithable.
The Pure Boosts/Ultraboosts cost 2-3 times as much as the aforementioned ultralights and are proper runners, they're in a different cost bracket and can't really be compared to the Roshes or Fluxes (mainly because any Boost shoe would murder the 2 in comfort). I've got my eyes on the Ultraboosts myself, Primeknit upper with better Boost midsole is bonkers. Its first colorway is also pretty pleasing to the eyes, not too techy

I don't find the Fluxs as comfortable as the Roshes. I prefer the soles of the Roshe.
And I agree there is a certain level of over saturation with the Roshe but it's still a great line. I just wish they didn't engage in the limited/hype shenanigans. The MC FK IDs, the recent NMs, country pack, etc.
I'd say, imo, I find the FK Lunar 1 more comfortable. Haven't tried on the Y-3, Tubulars, FK Lunar 3s, FK Racers, Ultra Boosts, etc.

I can't fit in either Roshes or Fluxes, the soles on both are too narrow for my wide feet and they feel too big and clunky even if I try to go .5 size up.
I tried on Pure Boosts once, fits me very nice going .5 up. Didn't get them, though.
Even though I'm a Nike guy as well I recently got a pair of adidas adios Boost 2.0 on clearance at adidas.com. They also narrow that I got them .5 size up, but fit me very well. Really comfy and the understated look in dark blue works well for casual use. I would like to actually run in them but I'm recovering from a calf injury and the low-profile racing sole would work my calves too much right now.

New York is going to be crazy the next couple of days. Yeezy's and all the ASG related releases.
I feel like they went crazy this year. Definitely an expensive hobby.

The solecollector twitter hinted that many of the NYC-only releases will be available on the app after this weekend.
