ADIDAS BOOST Thread - PAGE 1 for INFO- *NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING*

“We ruined a 1.0 OG.
Took away all the upper cushioning. Eliminated parts. Removed half sizes.
Talked to 4000 creators who came up with this design that looks like an uncushioned ST with a spreadsheet on top.”

Lol ADC is a joke.

 

[3god]

copped. Pumped

You went up to an 11?

 

[tr707]

Going on nothing but visuals, my initial guess is that these will require sizing down a .5 size.

 

[3god]

Maybe theyll load half sizes later

 

[3god]

Pathetic release as expected, BUT even worse because of the lack of .5 sizes.

Struck out on FoG Nikes and on UB 19 **** 12/15

yep. I can do 11. At worst, throw an extra insole if needed. Weird no half sizes.

Read on twitter these are made with speedfactory machines and thus no half sizes.

Guess I won't be copping without trying them on In store. I need my 12.5.

And don't the speedfactories fit narrow as hell? This is not the news I wanted.

 

[nonheinous]

Looks like they’re using the AM4/Speedfactory platform. (Specifically the dotted boost, torsion mechanism, and outsole)

 

[jpac]

nothing but half sizes if UK.

 

[maq25060]

nothing but half sizes if UK.

Which adds up. UK half size is US hole size.

Not sure how they handled the AM4/Speedfactory drop for you guys though.

Sppedfactory for me fit narrow and long. Not a recommended shoe for wide footers. Maybe by the February release they’ll have machines that can run half sizes?

 

[jpac]

I don't think they intend to have US half sizes. probably much, much faster to produce these UB 19 in the speed factory way in addition to stripping down they way the upper is made.

 

[jpac]

UB19 don't look like a $180 shoe. Other lower tier boost models look like they got more tech than UB19s

True. Speedfactory been out awhile now and still no half sizes.

 

[tankdayglo]

I highly doubt they're going to keep UB19 at only whole sizes.

But I also won't be all that surprised if they do, since adidas hasn't made a decent decision in over a year.

 

[Brownstone]

Finally copped the OG's, first and last sneaker purchase of the year.

what does this mean? Pardon my ignorance.

 

[tankdayglo]

Speedfactory is their mostly automated system for producing the shoes. AM4s are a good example of previous Speedfactory shoes & they have only come in whole sizes so far.

 

[dante01990]

Anyone get in store?

 

[tr707]

If they start making half sizes and have to reconfigure some machine that makes these... I bet a 12/15 pair will fit different than a pair released in 2019... I bet $3.

 

[tr707]

Also ISO: differently caged 19 w/4D

 

[3god]

So how should we size when there’s no half sizes? Is it similar to let’s say, a presto, where .5 down is basically a TTS-like fit?
