Damn that sucks. We had parleys sitting caged/uncaged in the Bay.
Guess you gotta buy both sizes and see what you prefer.
If I were to buy them, I would stay the same as my 3.0 size, but I'm sure the ones who actually have them and tried them on may tell you otherwise.

Because popularity and volume sold is expected to increase. It's reasonable to assume they would update the model with better and different materials to appeal to a wider audience.
And most of the premium UBs do have an increased cost. This is why all the LTD versions retail at 200, not 180.
1.0 knit might be the fav on this sub, but they're not marketing to this sub, they're marketing to the entire consumer base who just wants a premium shoe worthy of 180 bucks regardless of the previous versions knit pattern.
Also, 1.0s didn't have the continental sole, so that licensing cost didn't even exist for the first UBs. It's not crazy to think 3.0s costs more than 1.0s to manufacture. Retail price for consumers have always been 180, tho.

Surprised the CB Leather Cages are kind of sitting in places and are at pretty much retail on StockX. They are one of the best 3.0s IMO.

i went down 1/2 size on my RC 3.0 s. toebox is still roomy, but collar is nice and tight.
i went TTS on my parleys and all my 1.0s. i dig that snug sock feel.

I went with a 9.5 for these. They're good length wise but the collar is just a little tight. Id be interested to see how a 10 fit, but im not really concerned about it.
i guess thats better than a camel toe!

The UB clima reminds me of the naked UB because of the cage. I know the clima the cage looked like it's built into the PK and the naked's the cage is pk

Man I have so many nice sneakers that have just been sitting in boxes since last year as I have moved on to more current releases. Just wondering, what are some of the nicer sneakers you guys have but rarely wear for whatever reason?

The cost difference in thread between primeknits styles is minimal. Technically one model may cost more than others, but it's nominal (i.e. pennies). Knit shoes are less expensive to make then leather uppers, due to material cost differences, and labor. Certain types of thread may cost more due to the licensing fees, example a 3M reflective thread. Seamless technology is in a lot of products out there like sheets, socks, and tights. Adidas and Nike just killed it but putting it into shoes. You argueably get a more comfortable shoe at a lower cost.
On a shoe like this and in the volumes Adidas purchases it may be a buck a shoe. For comparison purchases retro Jordans cost under $30-35 landed to manufacture. These are less expensive. Take into account Adidas and Nike's costs aren't in the manufacturing processes but their SG&A expenses.
This is a fairly well done marketing video of making an ultraboost, many others are on YouTube.

I wonder if adidas is going to give us what we want (E.G. More 1.0 patterned pairs) once the hype dies down
