The iniki's are really cool. My only hesitation with them is how they will age because of the suede. If you're hesitating, keep em! You may end up regretting it later! You can't go wrong on that shoe, it's dope.

Thanks - hoping to get the triple blacks! They look amazing!

The blacks are probably limited...
I thought you meant the two platinums.
haha gr8 response. Didn't realise that they would mark up the price so much since its a Nikelab release, only going for them on End Launch raffle, if I don't get then I won't mind.
They're definitely gaining a lot of hype. Compared to ultra boosts, it depends. I wouldn't say they're as hyped as like certain collabs or limited releases like triple blacks, but it definitely seems like they're going faster than just regular UB's. Though part of that is Adidas keeping them somewhat limited so far. The white ones that just came out only had 3500 pairs on Adidas US.
Comfort wise they're equal to ultra boosts to me. I like the snug fit uppper on ultra boosts a little more (the EQT is looser because of the separate tongue and non-primeknit sections) but the EQT has more boost and an Ortholite insole so it feels a little better from the bottom. Overall it's great comfort-wise.

What happens if your mailman rocking some Yeezy's next week?
Comfy and pretty versatile depending on the CW. What pair are you looking to get?
The M998 DPHO Black/Light Grey. There's also a 997 pair available of an identical cw.
These caught my eye exactly for looking versatile. Between the 997 and 998 which ones do you think are better?

Haha! Yeah took another L on the triple blacks; couldn't get them online and I called up NikeLab in Shoreditch and they said there was a massive queue and limited numbers. Managed to get the Platinum/White tho

Dude yes!!!
That shit had me furious. If I won them I wasn't going to resell them because they look so good.
Did they ever adress that?

Took double L's today. Somehow managed to find the Kith naked sneakers. They had a 10.5 (im an 11) and damn the large inner brick with the added support felt uncomfortable. They are really dope shoes...couldnt make the purchase.
Then tried to find a pair of the United Arrow City Socks, they only had a 1/2 size up (11.5), and I was floating in them...Sad

Where are people seeing the black Vapormax? They aren't on snkrs.

They only have a US9 pair now. Missed my chance. Maybe it's for the best and they will release some dope colorways in the future.

I definitely get why people may not like the larger support brick in the CS2s. Was really unsure how I'd feel about it until my R2s came... Thankfully, I find them perfectly comfortable after walking around in them. It is almost like it's molded to my foot.Took double L's today. Somehow managed to find the Kith naked sneakers.

That's unfortunate that you had to take a volunteered L because of it. :/

Thats actually really good to know! Now that I think of it more, it is most likely the added support around the arch of the foot where that brick is, instead of my wide-ish foot actually digging into the brick. So they may actually be totally fine.
But low key, I think i didnt want to spend the 210 euros haha. So it was my subconscious making excuses ¯\_(ツ

Saw a dude here at Costco wearing zebras. Tbh, I don't like how they look in person as in the heel as area, through the clear sole, there was a yellow-looking patch near the heel tab.
I fear that the TW yeezys are gonna have that same problem so olives for me whenever they drop.

Hundreds on shoes now living on free food samples.

Hahaha subconscious saving you some cash, definitely. I've seen others saying how they can feel the brick, but I think it's the arch support that they are mistaking for the brick? They definitely felt differently at first before breaking them in a bit, but after wearing them again today, I gotta say they are the most comfortable NMD I've worn.
I think the zebras have slightly yellowish soles by design, part of the reason I wasn't interested myself. The TWs are actually clear, but yeah, they will probably not be as clear over time.

I might buy some feebras, you can't tell unless you have a backlight

If it makes you feel better, dude was shopping with mom so clearly you come to Costco anyways if ya gotta eat.
Yeah, as I didn't really care about them in the first place. Thought in person would look better than the photos but nope, still got that slight yellow sole. I honestly wish the yeezys didn't go with translucent soles for the most part, but sometimes it works though most times, it doesn't really work at all...

not a sneakerhead but i went to like 6 stores trying to find the United Arrow City Socks with no luck, RIP. pretty disappointed about it

I'm going to go around to six stores tomorrow and obviously online so hopefully I won't be Roya L.
I'll pay resell for it. I missed out on the last round in 2013 and honestly I love the simple silhouettes of the 1s.

I need them Royals. If I strike out, I'm just gonna let price stabilize before I bite the bullet. Hopefully it gets to around 300. That's how much I paid for the Breds in '13 lol.

Why are triple black ultra boosts more expensive than the other ultra boosts.
More hyped and lower number of pairs than regular ultra boost releases.

Eh, too much for me at retail though. At that price point I'd rather save up a bit more for some y-3s.
Oh you mean at retail. Yeah it's just what Adidas does with "LTD" releases. Usually hyped stuff or unique pairs like the 3M reflectives.

what are those called and are they hard to find? 👀
Adidas NMD Tri Color Stripes Black
Hard to find, yes. But they don't go for too much more in the aftermarket. I've been meaning to cop a pair for myself.
