I'm sure there are a few things you didn't see that are actually there..
But no I didn't take any pics..
They were not on shelves with the rest of the flyknits..
They were actually presented to us by an employee..

I'm on adidas Stan now but I'm reasonable.
Nike/JB makes more money in a single retro release than adidas did on all their UBs

Meh, UB is overrated. I have 3 pairs. I kept going back to my racer and even lunar 1s. Boost is comfy as hell don't get me wrong but i dont like how it yellows quick. It looks so damn ugly. Racer to me always have that sleek look that you could wear with anything. I actually prefer pure boost over UB for optimum boost feel

It's all supply & demand created by a company. A simple technique you would have seen companies like Nike or Adidas use is: Creating a demand for a product, (hype up a limited product) then create a high volume of that product to supply the demand. Eg: Adidas NMD
There's 7 billion people in the world, so if 5 million people want the Adidas NMD, and only 500,000 of that shoe model is made.. at BEST that's 90% of the total population that's NOT getting the product and only 10% that actually is, imagine how much hype that creates? Not to mention all the sneaker info sites, consumer advertisement etc
Food for thought.

Too long, didn't read
Ya'll take sneakers too seriously. Buy them and rock them until your heart's content.

I'm sorry if you interpreted my passion for the business side of the sneaker game as me taking sneakers too seriously.
For those of you who can't be bothered reading a couple paragraphs, Here's a video from T-Blake which explains what I wrote. More or less.

What didn't you like about the new weave? I didn't get the OG pair so I'll have to get on this. Comparing between the two, for now I like the new version better.

Agreed. I had two pairs of UB's and returned both (all white and black/purple). I always tell people that a pair of good ol' huaraches feel just as comfy if not comfier in my opinion. Just as heavy too, hah.
Footscape Magistas and Flyknit Lunar Chukka's are also other shoes that are comfier than UB's. But those obviously serve different purposes.
Racer's are too slick are more versatile.

UB = better knit and more comfortable
FK = better looking
IMO
