people guessing out here.
if I had to pick, i'd say the knit on the 2.0 is more expensive to make for the simple fact that it's thicker. the gradients also had a drastic color split so i'd say that too.

Yep its just speculation based on the industry and what I've seen, not absolute. Now that I think of it, what would better explain the sudden switch from 1.0 to 2.0 would be the long leadtime it took to produce the knit

3.0 looks better in solid form. But I still think 2.0>3.0 not saying 3.0 is horrible...But I'm not a big fan.

I really like 3.0.
I missed the 1.0 wave and 2.0 is really meh at best so 3.0 is new and exciting for me.

The change from the 1.0 to the 2.0 knit wasn't sudden at all. Adidas had these different knits planned well in advance. UBs wouldn't be as popular as they are without Adidas switching things up. They had a good thing going with the 1.0 and decided to feed off of that. Props to them for having the good sense to come up with something new while hype is still strong unlike Nike does with most models where they'll just ride the wave of a popular model until it's popularity is almost completely drained. The Roshe is a good example. They rode that wave as long as they possibly could which was a good 4 years before someone over there said "Ok guys, Roshe sales are dropping so time to design a sequel." My point being that we're a little under 2 years into UBs and even you 1.0 activists would get tired of that knit eventually if it had been produced long enough.

I can't say for sure, but I'm pretty sure they don't. People were all surprised at how big the SBs fit.
The HBs are basically just the CB 1.0 uncaged, same exact build except for the continental sole. SBs on the other hand actually have slightly different construction, the inner plastic piece on the toebox is adhered differently and there's a whole support system for the laces on the interior of the shoe that doesn't exist on other UBs. It has the same sole but it feels different from all my other colorways.
My understanding is that HBs are literally just the 1.0 build uncaged.

I think people who don't like 3.0 don't like a more modern, stylized model. 1.0 is very classic in appearance while the 3.0 is more edgy.
I love the frosted cage.. it's awesome. The print is just so so because I think we've seen alot of similar use but still ok to me.

I'm not a huge fan either, but I did just cop the "poor man's SB" women's pair from Oneness for $85. Planning on uncaging.

They don't. I have both. HB fits more like your standard UB. Solebox fits looser.
