Had to cop the michigans ever since I saw the sb remake way back when. Love all the colorways hopefully they go to outlet.

yeah I'm hoping for outlet as well, scoop up the UNLV and Iowa ones.

I think the next adidas shoe I want to try is the tubular dooms. They look crazy.

There are size 15 "Special Forces" ones up on Goat. Would really like some all black ones though.

I got the new black UB's in today. First time trying any adidas / boost shoe and I can see why people like them. You can feel that little bounce when you wear them and they feel so light on foot. So much lighter than all my heavy ass Jordans and high top Nikes. As someone who can wear sneakers to work I'll probably wear these on the regular.

Yep, my core blacks have been my go to since I got them. So nice.

All whites coming in this week.
 
Ughhh.. This is what I hate about checking out some shoe store website if I ain't got anything to do..

Never seen this thing available to me online let alone this new (and best) colorway I didn't even know existed. So i was like hell with it.
I just dropped $200 for a RUNNING shoe

And then the XII Breds coming out this coming 28th too. I'm gonna try my luck on that one.

Lmao. Worth it. One day wearing the black UB's and I already ordered the all white pair.
 
Just watched 3 youtube reviews of the shoe saying it is so comfortable at $200 it was worth it. Cannot wait. Gonna be sitting by the window waiting for the delivery guy like

I'm new to this thread and I just found out the UB refers to the ultraboost when you replied to my post. lol.

Gonna be my work shoes too. Will pretty uch be treated like J's. I cannot fathom running these things on animal poo and mud.

Yeah, I never really looked into them either until this restock. I've actually never owned any adidas shoes in my life prior to these, but holy shit are they comfortable. So light and breathable compared to all my Jordans. Which is especially nice as the weather gets warmer.
 
I used to be a huge dunk head back in high school. I always wore them a size big for some reason lol.

And UBs are definitely legit. Only real complaint is the squeaky noises they make.

To all the dunkheads here, the BTTYS pack is definitely legit, quality is on point and they are as plush as the shattered backboards. I haven't even seen SB's of this quality in such a long time.

Those are nice! I wanted the red and grey ones but I need my money for all the NMDs dropping this weekend lol

How's the sizing on the UB's? Thinking about picking up the black pair.

Also like those London 10's. Might have to use my NDC 20% off coupon on those if possible.
 
And my MC Racers just arrived. Even though they're more pink than the 2012 release, love these just the same. The grey tongue doesn't strike me any different than the black one really.

Yup olive, blue , white , and that pink or w/e colorway and BONUS, so are city socks.

I've been wanting to sell my SNS due to my craving for DS lance mountains lol
Damn.

Does adidas drop at a certain time like Jordans always dropping at 7 am? And are they usually instant sell outs?

Adidas is dropping them at a random time. Usually between 8-12am EST I believe. They're not usually instant sellouts. But once it drops you gotta be fast before the site starts to slow down when people realize they dropped.
 
Yeah. I would also go with gum soles .

Shit there are NMD's dropping? Fml (and my wallet).
Seriously. If i check oneness or eastbay and NMDs are there i would get it.. Any colorway is okay by me. They all look great. Then XIIs next weekend.. Damn. Mjcry.png

What i hate too is that adidas website don't even list NMDs for sale.. Just a webpage for the shoe about its history and features lol.

Picked up a pair in the Retro 10 City Pack. Rio's.


Still feeling miffed at some pairs not showing up here, but ah well. All I could see at any Champs/Footlocker here were the NYC, Chicago, or these. Haven't spotted the LA at all even though they released Saturday. All I really want are the Shanghai and Paris beyond this, but no firm release on the first and a Euro exclusive on the latter. 😒
 
I have almost all my grails. I have 2011 Black Cement 3s but I'm debating on pulling the trigger on these 2001 BC3s. I kinda have this melted plastic on the elephant print on my pair because I had to stomp a fire out on my car (lol) but they're not that bad and I could just replace the heel tabs but that crap is like 50$ for a freaking heel tab. I could just keep these as beaters and buy the 2001s. Idk. Then again, that pair of 2001s for sell do have a crack on the heel tab so I would have to replace that one eventually anyway. Yeah, I'll just convert my pair to NA heel tab later.

All I need now is to rebuy Carmine 6s since those were stolen, Tiffany dunks, a real pair of Royal 1s, Black Toe 1 Highs (have the mids), and...those freaking Burgundy and Olive UBs. Those Burgundy/Maroon colored UBs are straight fire emojis.

I've been looking at the Pumas Blaze of Glory silohouette and there are some really dope color ways that I've been seeing. Going to try to start picking up some Asics as well. Really should expand my sneaker brands.
 
I'm wondering how limited the oreo NMDs will be on saturday. I was able to get the lush red ones after I got home from work after the last release (7PM EST).

Saw the LA in person at Niketown SF earlier this week, they're cool but I don't really know if I like the leather used as it always looks suede go to me, despite not being suede. They also has the Chicago, Rio and NYC pairs as well.

Hoping to see if they get the London and Shanghai pairs as those are the ones I'm most interested in seeing.

NMD's are dropping between 5 and 9 AM my time so I'll probably sleep through it lol. I do want to try a pair eventually though.

Not much of a fan of the Chicago. Colour way isn't for me, at least. Don't think that red and that blue belong together. Maybe if they went for black instead of one of the blue, like the Bulls colour way, it'd be more attractive. Would probably look too much like the London's in that case, though, so I guess we gotta live with it.
