Just saw RISE tweet out a limited run of sizes in the metallic silver Ultra Boosts....

Thanks and repp.

I've been looking for these in a 10.5 and Adidas had a 11 yesterday.

After some research it appears that I may need to go up .5 from my normal Adidas size.

I'm hoping this 11 won't be too big.

I tried on a 10.5 and 11 in the response boost yesterday and the larger size fit best.

How much did you end up paying for each and is the sizing difference .5 or 1 size from UK?

I paid around $260 shipped for each which was more than I wanted, but it was from a US store so I knew I wouldn't get surprised with any customs fees and that they'd be here relatively quickly. 

Sizing is .5 up from UK, same as the regular Boosts, although I haven't seen any full sizes of these J&Ds for some reason.

Ultraboosts > racers > trainers for me..aesthetically and comfortability.

I have just become completely exhausted with the huge swoosh. The ultraboosts have clean and subtle branding which is right up my alley. I always thought the colorful weave was feminine so that didn't do too much for me.
As far as primeknit to flyknit I prefer the primeknit. Flyknit was a great innovation but the elastic feel of the primeknit makes it better. And the boost sole is by far the most comfortable sole to me.

Same. I bought a pair of volt Flyknit Racers the very first day they dropped and wasn't feeling them, sent them right back. The Midnight Fog Lunar Chukkas were probably my favorite Flyknit that I owned, but I never got into the multicolored pairs that everyone goes crazy over. Not feminine necessarily, just not my thing at all.

Looking at these J&Ds, I didn't realize the Primeknit actually had wool knitted into it. Crazy. I'm obsessed with these.

Hopefully some dudes here that want the J&Ds can scoop from here

Nike does have elastic flyknit too. MNy of the free runs are of that material.

Anyway, I'm looking for a simple comfortable trainer and want a pair of these. Is the all white pair available anywhere? Just the general release will do. Haven't checked in stores yet but nothing online.

I went TTS on Metallics and I'm optimistic they'll loosen up. I think they just need some wear

cannot see it happening bro.. :S at least in my case..

 

[skep]

Mine loosened up pretty quickly. Mostly just from adjusting the laces all the way down

They are not too short are they? My Nike size length is perfect with a few centimetres space at the toe.

The primeknit is very snug though, and they might feel a little tight on a bigger foot.

Yeah my pair in my Nike TTS fits me perfect actually.

You could take out the insoles? Then it'd be like a Ultra Pure Boost. lol

Does the J&D collective get a special box or same as the GRs?

 

[suchafraud23]

Racers are pretty trash casually. Toe down they look awesome but the side profile is ugly. Used to be brainwashed but not anymore

Also trash for running unfortunately, just not that comfortable.

Trainers have a better side profile than the racers honestly. But I think UB by far out do them in every casual category

Black n gray box
Pair just came from adidas y3 and it's wrapped in a tissue paper as well, very tasteful

Very impressed with adidas

 

[mvplikekobe24]

My core blacks came in from probikekit today, pretty fast shipping from the uk. Anyway, loving these. Went .5 up and they fit perfect. A little room in the toe but theyre not squeezing my foot like the sz 11 silvers i copped but then returned. I think this is the best colorway by far

 

[rchrstphr]

Very impressed with adidas

Yes sir! These blew my mind. Almost don't want to wear them.

 

[skep]

My wife's first impression was "wow those are very white. You can't even wear them in the house without them getting dirty!"
