I ordered a size 11 grey wool from RRS last week. The status is listed as "processing" but when I click on "see details" it says "the item is backordered". I have no clue at this point if I am going to get them. I'm afraid to call and have them cancel my order outright. I dont want to lose out on getting the wools for such a cheap price.

I would dissagree. Pure boosts are really comfy but were just a stepping stone for adidas. The ultra is the culmination of their two best technologies. boost and PK. Pure boosts can still be had for cheap. Ultras have held their value since they dropped.
And dont tell me kanye made the ultra boost popular. It was already being called the shoe of the year before that. Sure, Kanye put hypebeasts onto the shoe but Its such a good shoe it would have been popular without him imo

Speaking about the UB, when the shoe first came out, core audience ie runners/athletes raved about the comfort of the boost. The biggest drawback is that the sole (first gen) wears down too fast if you actually run in these constantly. Most never could get more than 3-6 months of life of constant use/wear/tear from running. This is why I initially stayed away from it (as a running shoe).uhhh, pretty sure the first wave of people only bought because this was a new tech that came out. I know I only picked up my original pair once I started lurking this thread and hearing about the crazy comfortability. I just had to get past that feeling that the sole looked like styrofoam
From a casual/lifestyle standpoint, aforementioned is not relevant. IMO, UBs became mainstream because of hype/Yeezy/social media/internet blogs IMO, but people (like myself) stay attached because of comfort as a lifestyle everyday shoe. I ditched my car years ago, and walk everywhere. UBs are my daily and perfect for my purposes.
Have you guys seen what happens when someone actually runs in a lifestyle shoe? I think there is a picture of a Y350 floating around with its sole separating from the upper from running...

Part of me is tempted to call and find out what is going on and part of me is afraid of blowing the deal. The original ship date when I ordered was listed as 2/22/16 but I hope
I don't have to wait that long to find out either way.

I think people are just trying to keep the thread clean. Try posting up in classifieds and adding it to your signature.

UBs won shoe of the year I believe in December 2015 if im right which is when Kanye started wearing the OG Black/Purp colorway then the Whites, etc. which helped boost the PR of the UBs.
Also hype is always associated with that person plus people started to realize that there is money to be made with this line. Anything that can be sold for resale is always hyped. you never saw those on other boost models.

Just spoke to RRS. My grey wool was not canceled but it is on backorder and will ship on 2/19/16.

On another note, what are the chances of me doing better than $153 for a pair of core blacks in a size 11? I got them at the Adidas store for that price but if I can do better I will return them before wearing them.

I'm in the same boat as the other guy. Can't find a sz 10 and I can't size up or down from there. one day.....

I think someone confirmed earlier for me that these were the grey wools, which I wanted, but looking at all the pics again I'm not sure. Anyone able to give a second opinion?
Thanks

gotta be real. the UB's are definitely hyped, they just happen to be a legit sneaker as well. sure, they were named best runner of 2015 before ye wore them - but that was declared by actual running blogs and adidas themselves at that time. kanye really put these on the map, and that's not a bad thing since they're actually a good shoe, but we prob wouldn't be needing a separate nmd thread if it weren't for him.

Has anyone seen the SNS Uncaged? I have not been a fan of too many caged models being uncaged but think the SNS may be a really nice fit.

I slipped twice over the weekend in my non-continental sole. Really lowered my rating of the shoe. I haven't had enough exposure with the continental sole to know if it is a significant improvement.
My RRS grey wool order is still "processing". Fingers crossed.
If you wore the same pair of UBs every day, or nearly every day, how long until you feel the boost losing it's bounce?

Kanye wore UBs way before Dec. 2015
Here's an article from May: http://www.complex.com/sneakers/2015/05/adidas-ultra-boost-is-a-great-sneaker
Not trying to say the hype is all because of him, but he was definitely part of it.
