Just got my DubNations in. Materials wise UA definitely took the cheap route. Thin Speedform engineered mesh material with minimal padding especially on the detached tongue and heel is a step down from AnaFoam and that's why it's an ounce lighter. The toe area is plasticky fuse. They even took out the MicroG insole and the perforations are misleading which don't provide ventilation compared to the One's.

They did get the traction right along with the improved Charged cushioning, heel clip and midfoot shank.

Top half of the shoe is a negative while the bottom half is a step forward.

Did anyone grab the isi from d!cks? They had a 20 off 100 purchase that was on release day. Doesn't seem to work now.

my impressions of the curry 2 vs curry 1 after some hoop time:
- much improved cushioning, especially in the toe box area

- low to ground feel yet some bounce to the sole unlike the 1's

- enhanced heel lockdown (foot does not move) but ankle is slightly stiffer

- not as aesthetically pleasing as the 1's

Saw a size 9 Dubnation with the verse on the window display at Great Mall Milpitas FTL if anybody local looking for that. Employee said size 8 and 9 has it. Not sure if it's true since he said SP will be $130.

The 4:13 verse on the Dub Nations is just random, not size specific. I was able to "trade" one of my DS pairs back to FTL today for one that had the verse on the heel counter. It was the only pair they had with it on it in store. I've seen size 8, 10, 11, and 11.5 with the verse.

A FTL contact also said the SP's were lowered, she said $120.

Thank you @chusifer and @thapointguy for pointing out the 4:13 verse. A huge SC fan, I would've been one of the Marks paying 300 for the scripture version on Ebay lol.

Repped, had my girl stop by there and picked up the 8 for me and an 11 for my bro. Sunvalley also had some, picked up another 8, there's at least a 9 left, not sure of any other sizes but for sure no 8 or 8.5.

frankw · Oct 30, 2015

went to local FTL to pick up the Dub Nation. didn't like them at first until i see them in person. sz11. didn't have the verse tho. also tried on a sz11.5 to see how it fits and it had no verse either. the display pair sz8 had the verse.

so what is the exact story on the verse and why it's on some, but not the other? production error? or is UA just simply messing with us.

thanks. friend msg me saying the website had the discount. i doubted him since i didn't see anything posted here. this was after i bought from FNL. i feel better now.

nubuckgees · Oct 30, 2015

If anyone could point me in the direction of a 9.5 or 10 dubnation with the verse. In the bay.

I bought a 9 with it and they're too small.

iks mod · Oct 30, 2015

Traction = beastly and I was on a dusty floor
Cushion = I was actually a fan of the charged on the 1s but the added spring with these feels awesome. Almost perfect amount for me personally
Transition = very smooth - on par with the Curry 1, if not a little bit better. I feel like how high these sit in the heel will appeal to more folks that enjoy the original clutchfit drive

I'll take your 9 if you find your size. PM me thanks. I'll keep a eye on the 9.5 or 10, did you call Bayfair or SL?

FTL Great Mall has a 9 with the verse on window display as of yesterday

sk30 · Oct 30, 2015

dang so if i ordered the dub nations off UA.com, they most likely wouldn't have the verse correct?

iks mod · Oct 30, 2015

These look good here IMO. If I'm liking how this first pair plays enough, I can't miss em (via @kingsfoilr on IG)

Played about 2.5 hours in them.

I think TTS is good for me. I didn't feel slowed down at all. I'd be curious to see .5 down, but they might get uncomfortable over the course of playing.

Traction was pretty good for me and so was cushioning and responsiveness. I have to figure out how to dial in the fit or wait for the shoe to completely break in. It's easy to lace these things too tight and get really uncomfortable while playing. After lacing up, the upper doesn't really close over the tongue as much as a lot of other shoes out there.

Overall, I wasn't blown away like I was with the CF Drive, but it was a good experience. Going to give these plenty of run.
