Those RF UB mids don't look too hot on feet in that colour. Think the Trail Boost might look better tbh.

Keeping my fingers crossed that adidas stocks the Tricos as well in Europe as hey did in the US. They seem to be releasing everywhere so fingers crossed.

hell do ultraboost run tts? i got my 1s, 7s, 11s, yeezys in a 9.5.
You wear the same size in Jordan 1's as you do in Yeezy's? How do the Yeezy's fit? I keep reading the v2's fit small.

As for ultra boosts. Definitely go true to size. Hell, could even size .5 up. Just don't go down.

id say v1 yeezys are tts. the v2 ive heard run a bit narrow so go either a half size up or if you have a wide foot, a full size up.

my yeezys have a bit of excess room around the toe but i prefer the space

Damn, I got the same size as my Jordans. Hope they fit...

Yeah I heard the same thing. Size half size up. But I also heard that TTS is just a really snug fit. I mean, the PK should stretch? I went half a size up tho.

This is the slowest shipping ever. My SSense order came in yesterday from Canada. I ordered some transmission fluid last morning and it came in today...

What's going on Shiekh/UPS???????

I need my yeezys. Getting worried they got "lost" since it hasn't updated since Monday after departing...

From what I saw it jumped from size 14 up to 16 when I got through the splash page on adidas, so I was just like fuck it lol.

Guess we'll see in an hour or two when they arrive.

adidas.com has a few sizes of UB 3.0 core black in stock.

I got my pair yesterday and I love them. My new default daily wear sneaker, hands down. The cage make a big difference with lateral support. Running or fast walking in UB Uncaged always felt strange because I could feel my foot moving from side to side within the shoes. The cage takes care of that.

The primeknit is really soft, there's extra padding around the rear tab to keep your achilles from getting rubbed raw. Zero break in required. You can put on a brand new pair and iimmediately walk 10+ miles without worrying about blisters.

The Flyknit Racer is still my favorite shoe for running and exercise for a couple of reasons, but for a sneaker to wear every day the UB 3.0 is god tier.

With the trainer craze in full effect, I've been on a SB hunt and there are so many great deals on the older stuff. Copped these for super low and I couldn't be more happy. The padding on em are bonkers. Too bad new SB's aren't as well made.

It even came with the og receipt!

Crisis averted: the Yeezy's fit. But it's slim like a primeknit NMD, despite being my true size. Definitely can't size down at all with them.

These are sick as hell. I've been neglecting dunks this year also.

Totally agree. UB's are perfect as daily shoes.
 
I've been thinking of selling my sneaker scanner app that i've been working on. Would be nice to make some small change off of it.

This one app that I got into the beta for was pretty cool. Only problem was that I couldn't turn off the notifications or ask them to look for specific keywords or brands so I was getting constant notifications for stupid shoes.

But besides that, it was pretty useful if I happened to be looking for those styles.

Yea mines you can search for specific words like NMD, or ultraboost and such. I already have it setup where it searches for the shoes I want and posts the link to my private twitter account that I setup. I catch a lot of restocks.

saw the black XR1's at champs yesterday

first time seeing any NMDs in the wild in canada

they're like $230 canadian, though. fuck it. too much snow.

Primeknit XR1's are really nice. Used to be wary of them because of how the cage might affect comfort, but they fit perfect for me half a size up from regular PK NMD's.

The two glitch releases are some of my favourite pickups this year

I'm an idiot. "12 AM" I was thinking noon tomorrow (so 9 AM any time). Telling time is hard.

And of course they're sold out now. Damnit.

Anyone have the R2 NMD? Resell is basically retail right now, kinda surprised. I like how they look, thinking about picking up a pair.
 

Fjordson

Literally me RN



So comfortable, look great on feet, tons of boost, PK. I think people just hate change. If they were labeled something like the XR1 instead of the R2 they wouldn't carry so much stigma.
Lmao nice man. Yeah I saw them on feet yesterday on my cousin and they look super clean in person.

How's the fit? I size down for R1 PK NMD's usually, but my cousin just went true to size and said it fit fine.
 
So adidas dropped one of my ghost charges but the other one is still pending. I've been hoping for a Christmas surprise lol.

My Yeezys from Shiekh still taking forever. Fuck UPS. How does 5 business days, shipped on Saturday, mean delivered on Tuesday? How Sway???

UPS/FedEx shipping is _fucked_ right now, especially in Socal. Accordian effect from the terrible weather compounded by high volume.

Anyone else try the new Converse All Star Chuck Taylor II?

I just got these recently and they are absolutely incredible. I LOVE me some classic Chucks (they're all I wear) but these feel like the update the shoe has sorely needed for some time. Amazing support with strongly woven canvase material on the outside and far more padding on the inside. The insoles have been upgraded to the Nike Lunarlon. The lining is suede. It's like they figured out every way to improve upon the classic Chuck Taylor shoe.

i've been hype on the lunarlon insoles since the koston 1's. it's probably the last time i was super excited about some new tech thing in a shoe

Are they making Dunks again? I will conquer all the Dunks. I'm so sad that I missed a chance on those Tiffany's a few years back. :( Now they cost like $800 for my size.
