Don't own boosts but have had many generations of free flyknits which have ridiculously soft midsoles, the most comfortable shoes I've ever used. The BBs have one of the hardest midsoles I've ever worn on a sneaker, I find them even worse than my 2020 AM95 neons. And it's not only the air unit part, but also the frontfoot, zero cushioning. It baffles me that some people here think they are comfortable and I wonder if the BBs have been produced at more than one factory where they use different materials.

Pair from Stndrd came in today. Absolutely love them. Only noticeable things as far as flaws go is that it had some dry bits of glue stains around the red suede
The weather was nice so I took them for a 5k walk this saturday. The upper has softened a bit and is now ok. The midsole however is still as stiff as on a pair of dr martens.

TTS was definitely the right move. Wore them all day and are pretty comfy in the first wear.

I just called and the representative said give into April 6 , your date I said but weirdly they haven’t even shipped and take a few days to even arrive he was really no help , by the way a pending charge goes away after five days and when they ship they charge the card that was used just fyi

That’s strange, too bad. My pair haven’t arrived yet. Do you also have the regular BBs? Can’t seem to get an answer if the midsole materials are the same on them? Comfort or lack of the same?Golfs came in today, I will preface quasi review with I own very few pairs of AM1s. The upper is a bit stiff. They’re not total bricks.
The downside of these is that the outside of both shoes feels like there are bubbles underneath the insole. It’s hard to describe, but it feels like the opposite of arch support… instead of having arch support on the medial side of the shoe, it’s on the outer side of the foot… like maybe they had added arch support and they are on the wrong feet. It’s so uncomfortable that these have got to go back. Not sure if it’s a golf thing or an am1 thing. My other pair of standard AM1 does not feel like this at all.

This is nikes new multiverse strategy. If the timeline was altered and big bubbles didn’t fail in colder weather…what would have happened with other colorways. Get ready for 2028 big bubble AJ3s based off a sketch from tinker that has been locked away in vault since 5 mins ago, I mean 35 years ago

I've been kicking around Philadelphia all weekend at a conference in my Concepts "Heavy." Received lots of looks and comments. Easily one of my favorite pairs.

I wasn’t able to hit on the big bubbles so I can’t compare. However, I’m thinking they’re pretty similar (just by reading what people have posted on here)

Seems like these are the new normal. Most of these recent releases have the thinner laces. Heard the talk in here about the converse laces being thinner now too. Looks like I need to buy laces for every pair now smh

I love how Nike gave us exactly what came out in 1986 minus the 1986 price. The shoe was $75 in 1986. This is an $80 shoe max… look at the shoe there’s nothing to it.
