If you have cream UBs, don't. They may look nice but comfort is no where near UBs.
So tempted to cop the womens talc/cream NMDs... LOL
You pretty much gonna by a regular Adidas shoe with a pretend boost sole.

So far they have recycled: blacks / whites / solar reds / royals / *navysI got excited for the shock blues until i saw they were gradients.
The worst part is theyre taking old cws and making them gradients.
They did start kids UB this year I believe...
I just got one for my gf. Did they even drop cream UBs in kids sizes?
Yeah... And thats the only thing thats stopping me... I mean the PK is not even close to comfort compared to UBs let alone the mesh... Just looks nice

I had the exact same dilemna....I went with the creme ultra boost. I'm happy with my decision.

I learned my lesson when I bought the mesh all white NMDs. Yea they feel great, but their competition is not against PK NMDs or UBs. I feel you will only notice the difference in comfort if you come from a different company. But that is a little ignorant for me to say since I've never owned a pair of Flyknits. If flyknits feel better than those, then that just causes a whole lotta different decisions.

Yeah I know what you are saying... UBs really was a game changer but I still wear other shoes... J 1/4/11... I do have 1 flyknit trainer and a couple of racers. I still wear my Asics GL3 and GLV and a couple NBs. I havent gone 100% boost and I dont think I will... BUT yes, UBs are definitely the most comfy of all... Doesn't mean the others are not (except for a few lol)

When you wear UBs 90% of the time then transition to something different, it's almost a reverse feeling from when you put on an UB after wearing Jordans/Nikes/etc.
I don't think anyone will disagree with you there but in this case aesthetics trumps design. The 3 things mentioned are minimal upgrades, except may continental soles. People seem to love those way more.I don't understand the hate with gradients.
1. Better fit, toe box isn't as flat
2. Continental soles
3. Most recent pairs and seems like all pairs going forward are full PK
I understand the aesthetics aren't going to please everyone but the new UBs are superior to the OGs in every way except for an objective downgrade in looks. The three reasons above outweigh the downgrade in looks for me.
1 - I hate the less flat toebox of the gradients, a lot of people do, and saying the "fit is better" is also completely objective. The shape change in the toebox is the main deterrent for me w/ gradients, it sucks.I don't understand the hate with gradients.

Thats the keyword right there. Most just like the OG pk pattern. Plain and simple.I don't understand the hate with gradients.

Because nothing will make up for the fact that every time I look down at my feet I will see two penises.I don't understand the hate with gradients.

True that. I'm looking at it in more of a value sense that is it really worth scooping up shoe A vs shoe B. Heading to the NMD thread people going crazy over mesh pairs got me all confused.

I dont own a lot of basketball shoes. My Js collection revolves around 4s. I have a couple of 11s and 1s. Hahaha! Those are the only ones I really wear... Out of all my Js, 1s still is my fave.I cant even stand wearing Jordans or my basketball kicks (Kyries) casually anymore cause they just feel so clunkly and heavy compared to UB's. Something I do appreciate my FK Lunars and Racers but both pale in comparison to the UB. The new FK Prestos are a different story though, comparable to the UB but less "squishy". Love em.
Disagree completely about the fit. Gradients are more snug on the sides/top of the foot which I don't need at all. And surely you're not suggesting that someone buy $180 shoes when they hate the way they look? Maybe if you're going to run in them and wear them out, but for shoe mainly worn casually, looks matter a LOT.I don't understand the hate with gradients.

The mesh NMD at first, I understand the craziness... But after trying it on, it was really different even from the PK version...

To me it's like buying a goose feather jacket and comparing it to a puff jacket from Old Navy. Yea the one from Old Navy might look nice or look better but the materials and value of a Goose feather jacket is better to pay the premium.
I think it boils down the type of account the store have with Adidas...
How does Adidas determine which boutique will get a stock of an LTD release?
Eternally grateful for Feature yesterday (assuming I don't get a cancellation email) - but there are hundreds of similar shops around the country, why Feature LV and not any other sportswear store? Is it their relationship with their account manager?
