Solebox x Packer Energy Boost is very eh.

Hmm, any pictures of the shoe?

Not my pic - from twitter:

While I really like these shoes, they are just nowhere near as comfortable as UB's or EQT's:

I think you're the first person I've heard say this. Most say the 350's are just below UB comfort.

I think you're the first person I've heard say this. Most say the 350's are just below UB comfort.

I mean, maybe they need more time to break in? 3+ wears now. They are stiffer than UB's, they are tighter than UB's (only in the front / top of foot). UB's and EQT's liner material is softer than Yeezy liner material (the material that your achilles actually touches). Plus they just aren't as squishy of boost, IMO.

Wore the v2s yesterday for a few hours, got home and took them off... slipped into EQT's and it was like putting house slippers on. So much more comfortable.

 

[Doom.]

I would put 350's over UB's.

 

[dragontales]

I would say 350's midsole feels more comfy than the UB's midsole. But the 350's upper is a bit stiff.

 

[vinotwofour]

thats why I prefer V1 over V2. Upper is much more forgiving on the V1

Anyone else still waiting on grey miadidas UB? It seems like those are the last ones to go out.

I am waiting for that too

Can I get some opinions on these, that boost is looking mighty suspect to me

Spoiler

 

[FullMax97]

I'm not an expert in Soleboxes but that boost ridge is very suspect

 

[jaynev]

Got these in. Haven't seen the white tab/laces combo yet. Like contrast and subtle details not found on a GR pair.

 

[FullMax97]

Just looked at a few more pictures comparing retail and rep Solebox, those are fake.
Here's an album: Top picture is from flight club and real, bottom is a rep.


Noticeable differences:
- Boost ridge (Most obvious)
- On the puffed out padding portion near the ankle, a real pair has a sharper back portion and on the rep it is more rounded
- Where the knit pattern on the medial and lateral sides right below where the laces end, real pairs almost jut out a little bit where the pattern meets the boost and on reps the pattern goes straight down into the boost

 

[raulishere]

Man thought I was safe because its a size 12.5. I only see most reps going up to 12us, link to David's batch for comparison http://www.sneakerahead.ru/adidas-new-solebox-x-adidas-ultraboost-uncaged-p-175393.html

Also, you can tell the torsion system doesnt have that indent like on real ones and most ultra boost.

 

[chrisnuggets]

ADC has some colors and sizes available, plus $20 off with code SAVEMORE

Repped. Any word on when this code expires?

 

[raulishere]

Just checked all my pairs for that indent, good spot

 

[drisk34]

soleboxes. the pair that got away

 

[FullMax97]

I'm looking more and it seems like the pointed back on the ankle pad is inconsistent on legit pairs, so I wouldn't use that as a factor of a legit check, but my other two points still stand.


Here's a really good look at a legit pair with a lot of angles if you want to legit check them yourself

I saw someone wearing them this weekend at Costco and thought the same thing.

 

[JSWAM]

adidas x concepts another collab? Wonder what it will be.

 

[jpac]

Livestocks are my fav non-UB/mid collab.

 

[reigning]

Livestocks are my fav non-UB/mid collab.

This

 

[rioibrs]

probably the best boost sneaker released this year. I'd put it just under the 1.0 UB and y-3 and kith mids in terms all time best boost sneaker

 

[FullMax97]

Agreed
Overkills are my favorite pair of non UB/mid collab.

Never really felt livestocks though but I did come into the Boost world after they had released so maybe I'm a little biased
