edit- Tons of sizes left for the SF AF-1 MID. that's a first. They usually sell out instantly. Did they restock or something?

What do people think of the Nike Air 1 jewel releases?
The Red swoosh colour way is tempting me.

I like the look of them a lot, but white sneakers aren't my cup of tea personally.

I tried to sell stuff with them but they take a big fucking cut.
Even finishline has every size available.

Just got these guys (Mariah Flyknit) and I'm in love with them:
I know the original Flyknit Racers are better but I just didn't like the feel when I tried them on. This just felt better and looked a little better (multicolor with more of a blue tint with the racers vs. more of a neon light green/yellow tint with the Mariahs).
Unrelated, prior to these, I got the Flyknit Free Train Force as my workout shoes and although the heel is fucking ridiculous (too stiff and requires a bit of break in to prevent heel blisters), it still performs amazingly once you get over these hurdles. Plus the Oreo-ish colourway looks really nice.
Though I am looking for Adidas, and I hear a lot of hype for the Ultra Boost, how does it feel to those who got them?

I got the Uncaged version last week. I thought the Primeknit was a little snug while going TTS, but after 1 week it fits and feel perfect.
I wasnt a boost believer, now i am.
I can't imagine getting anything not boost anymore. I already planned out my purchases for the remainder of the year. They are
Ultraboost Triple Grey
EQT 93/17 in Cream
EQT 93/17 in triple Black.
Granted i can even get them when it drops.

I also think this one is the first widely available one also. I never seen the other colors on other major retailers
I believe so. Maybe not if you are like a track and field star.

I believe the boost blows out after a while. Don't quote me on it but it kinda makes sense.
Yeah these are one of the most wanted CWs atm.
I wish. I should check them out then. The biggest problem with runners for me has always been comfort, so the fact that there's a lot of hype around UBs for comfort is interesting.
Now would be a good time. Finishline got 20% of the Uncaged version. I know that version is not hyped like the normal version, but they are pretty much identical.
I didnt think i would like uncaged as much as i did, but i prefer the look of it over the normal version now.
EDIT:
Oh baby!!!
Where?

Even with casual use, Boost will retain the comfort but if you're looking for response, it will deteriorate. Was using a pair of UB 2.0s casually and in less than half a year, the sole cracked and the Boost split where the crack is.
I mostly used the shoe for work and a handful of workouts in them (light lifting, mostly cardio/strides/sprints/intervals) when I forgot my usual shoes. I do use them now more for workouts than regular use due to basically destroying them faster than I thought I could.
In other news, no new shoes for a while thanks to this:
Boost is the best tech for lifestyle use and most comfortable straight out of the box IMO. Working out, I prefer using other shoes like Chuck Taylors or air maxes. But for office and everyday wear, it's nearly always some kind of boost shoe, bar my new vapormax and orange box sb dunk low

That canvas material with 1950's toebox is not forgiving. You need to be able to spread your toes - which is one of the major advantages of primeknit.
It's also crazy that someone like Kanye had the genius idea for a doublewide toebox on his yeezys when the entire industry is still making pointy toed athletic footwear

that's what makes chuck taylors so good for weight lifting, but terrible for casual, daily use

I will definitely have to try on these laceless abominations Monday.
The lack of 3M is not good tho
Had to choose between these X-PLR and Yohji Yamamoto Y3s but ultimately couldn't live with the huge Y3 logo on the heel.
These are incredibly hard to keep clean.
I'm surprised you not a yeezy man
I'm 100% a Yeezy fan, but I won't spend that much on sneakers. Wife just got some Ultra Boosts, and I am kinda jealous. I recently picked up these Tubulars though for like $50 on Amazon, from a European store.

Definitely get an Ultra Boost or a different adidas shoe with Boost for yourself, Stinkles. So comfy!I'm 100% a Yeezy fan, but I won't spend that much on sneakers.

Those tubulars are pretty rad too, though.

I got a few pairs of those Tubular X and a dozen Tubular models but then I got Boosts and what a difference. I do like my Y3 Qasa but I don't find them very comfy.
Funny enough yesterday I watched Doctor Strange and I noticed he has them on during a scene early in the film during an operation.
Have you tried any of the Pure Boost models Stinkles? Very comfy and can be found quite cheap.

Damn, when did Y3 put sneakers up for 50% off?
Gutted I missed out on white pairs.
Some all black sneakers available for £125, very tempted.

if the midsole didn't crease so much i would get a pair
black 4%
That is some hella ugly grandma sneakers.

They are actually a dark green. Someone over at NT grabbed a pair.black 4%
Seems to be divisive as to whether it can be worn casually. Some have said the plate inside the shoe it too stiff and that the rocker motion sorta prevents it being comfortable for walking. But then I've seen some say they've been wearing them casually and they are the most comfortable sneakers they've worn.

black 4%
The vaporfly 4% is the real boost competitor in my eyes.
I'm trying to get my hands on the blue pair.
Its a stylish looking shoe with the Zoom X midsole/carbon plate tech being legit new. A lot of people
have said it an easy shoe to break into and comfy, unlike vapormax (Vapormax also looks hideous btw).

Ooh, Ayero coming out soon. I still think the sole is still too chunky but I like the silhouette overall.
Still waiting for these though. Ayero is a maybe but I really wanna get these.

'Light Pumice' AM97s look really nice.
Love those
Nike may be milking the 97s, but we are getting some outstanding colorways with it so it's all good

Tried on the cobblestone 97s today, nice shoe but I'm not as into any of these colorways as I want to be. Gonna have to see the pumice and beige/pink ones in person before deciding. The white OGs that just re-released yesterday are too basic and plain, and of course I only found out about the 'summer scales' (the perfect balance of texture and color lightness for my tastes) after they sold out. lol @ paying $200+ for a pair of Nikes on resale
