To add even more confusion, the WM EQT Support drops the "93/17" in its model name and is jsut called the "EQT Support Future"

So that last 3 photos(including the triple black) are a6300 and all before are iFong. Unless noted

If the hazy/blurred background is what you are refering to. Its the "portrait" mode in 7+ to allow you to bokeh the background. But a low focal length lense will do the same.

Haha I actually think the hazy look.... comes from the fact that you are in the PNW, right?  Microsoft campus, etc. 

I'm familiar with the bokeh effect... but meant more of the haziness of photos like these:

I did acetone instead of delgazer then 2 coat dye 2 coat paint. Like it said its good from far but far from good. Holding up to daily beating for 5 months now but ill repaint soon

Interesting, I can't decide whether to paint my core blacks or just buy TBs.

3.0 triple black came in. Last pic 1.0 vs 3.0

Going to be one of the few people who like the 3.0 more than the 1.0. Comfort and look wise.

I wish your opinion is more popular.

Gee, Casp.
You are really working under stress.
McQ's a dead white guy since 2010.
Liked to use that skull motif.

I know, i'm embarrassed. No idea who AW is so i assumed it was AM.

I painted my cb1 before the real tb1 dropped.  I was tired of waiting on Adidas haha  but if you look closely I painted the upper of the cb1 as well and not just the boost

the painted upper will stiffen up a little but not noticeable in comfort.  the outside pk is just not soft to touch.  If I had a chance to start over i might try dye the upper to see what it looks like.

but like i said these are my beater.

I appreciate the great info man, still can't decide haha

It should be but the 1.0 hype is too strong

Anyone done this  http://www.highsnobiety.com/2016/07/20/diy-adidas-boost-midsoles/ ? Doesn't look too bad

A bunch of people here have done it. They posted results as well but too lazy to go back and find them.

The key part is to prep boost with acetone.  I had to redo cos it flaked and peel without any surface prep
so my CB1 is "good from far but far from good" enough for me to keep my tb1 and tb3 on ice

There was the one other dude here (frankmathews?) that used a different brand some kinda dye. Posted tutorial youtube vid and gave good results feedback. No time right now to search for you, but it's here.

Straight on to feet for these. They are super light and upper is surprisingly more comfy from the time I initially tried them on in-store. The overall feel reminds me of a CK knit NMD.

And me being #teaminsole, no insole is fine since its one flat material instead of a webbed bottom. But putting an UB insole feel great as well. More arch support.

And also with most Adidas shoes, laces are super long even with a double knot. But the metal lace tips are a nice touch.

Edit: for those still on the fence on these per sizing, I went with 1.0/2.0 UB size. going a .5sz down from that and your toes hitting top no doubt.

Page 1 already had that info but just in case folks don't look there.

If you're going to dye/paint, check out that nice upcoming 3.0 core black with the leather cage. Nice overall premium look.

For me I knew I was gonna trade a kidney for 3m at one point and with the similarity of black upper+white boost.  I sacrificed cb1 for custom tb1

the real tb1 is completely different from cb1;

boost obviously black

upper obviously black on black threads

stripes on the cage are not coated dark grey like cb1

logo on tongue is black

logo on heel cup is black

lace tips are black

the minor detail but the entire shoe is different and not just boost and upper

Thanks gentlemen, think I might just return my core blacks and get the TB 3.0 since I am a size 13 1.0 is out of the question. I like the paint idea and could probably do it decently but it's just never going to be the same like you mentioned. Then maybe also buy 3m blacks and that should be all I need with already having triple whites.

 

[schatzgraber]

yea bit overkill with the triple black...those are hideous.

These look good until I saw the damn pong paddle running all over it, was looking for the ball lol.

They look like something Darth Vader would wear

No guarantee on that pair though. Looks like ltd plus seen people wanting this so the demand might be high
