I think it's hard to compare boost and zoom. My biggest issue is that any full length 360 zoom shoes are way too clunky for modern pants. But within zoom there are like 50,000 different setups and silhouettes.
Overall I do think Ultra Boost is the most comfortable. The boost on the NMDs are pretty weak. Similarly I don't find the boost comfortable on 95% of the Adidas basketball shoes. Crazy Explosives being the best boost for your buck. On the zoom end, they are much better basketball shoes. The new KDs, full length anything comfort wise is better than basketball boost shoes. But lifestyle wise UB>all with 0 hesitation whatsoever.
From what I've noticed, the boost is actually different. Not sure if it's the way they compress the boost or if it's the amount of boost particles in the shoe, but the bounce is nowhere near the same. The addition of the stabilization bricks also reduces the amount it can compress. The quality of the primeknit and the silhouettes are more appealing to the mass market though. Adidas has done a decent job appealing to the hypebeasts with colourways. Hell, a mesh triple black that retailed for 160 were reselling for 350 when it first came out... Don't even get me started on the Bapes...yes I def agree there
its weird u also noted NMD boost is crappier vs UB...thought it was only me...maybe due to non-continental treads?
anyway to naysayers of UB...yes its 50% hype but 50% of it is because shoe itself is well engineered esp compared to deez overpriced underwhelming nike retroes
its now 2017 times change...nike isnt king anymore just like how in 1984 converse started to not dominate bball shoe industry
I believe the tech specs state that they jammed more boost pellets into the UB midsole as opposed to their other boost models.

I honestly don't get why they use whack boost on the NMDs when they can probably charge more than limited ultra boosts for Ultra Boost level comfort on NMDs.

believe that's what they did with the he r2 if you noticed the boost sole is thicker than the r1I honestly don't get why they use whack boost on the NMDs when they can probably charge more than limited ultra boosts for Ultra Boost level comfort on NMDs.
I've heard the comfort is pretty relative to the R1s.believe that's what they did with the he r2 if you noticed the boost sole is thicker than the r1
UB is a performance shoe where as NMD is a lifestyle shoe

both performance shoes imo.

first time posting here.
holt renfrew square one has a bunch of fragment x tennis classics in white and black for $71+tax ($119 w/ 40% off).

Shouldn't a lifestyle shoe be comfortable though? If the NMD PKs were as comfortable as the Ultra Boosts, I'd likely buy way more NMDs than Ultra Boosts. And wear them more often.

lifestyle shoes are usually form over function. AF1's are lifestyle shoes and they aren't comfy. Retro runners are lifestyle shoes but they aren't comfy.

As much as the UB is comfortable, I still think the PureBoost 1.0 and 2.0 kicks were the most bouncy and comfy boost models Adidas has put out.
Boost>>>lunar anything. As a matter of fact, boost pretty much >>>> any cushioning ever invented for shoes - even Airmax because air pockets busted, got hard in cold temperature (no H), too clunky making your feet too high off ground, etc....Boost holds up extremely well under different temperatures, something that I notice lunar cannot replicate. Cleaning wise lunar>boost. The boost is too soft and gets scuffed up easily whereas harder lunar is more resistant to wear.
Just curious how do the boost stuff compare to nikes lunarfoam like in the lunarepics and lunaracers?
do the foam hold up well? i run the crap out of my flyknits and lunaracers and they have held up pretty good. I even toss them in the washer when they get dirty and they come out looking new.
