Tell you what... for me. The superstar Vulc is where it's at. I have 3 pair and the 1.5" rubber/neoprene/whatever insole is insanely comfortable...

Oh wow, I am exactly the same except with Stan Smith's such a clean shoe. How long have you been into adidas? before or after all of the new hype the brands' been getting.

These are actually better in person than on pics. That leather cage with the colored Boost looks sick

I used to be way into sneakers. I still sort of am, but only with the easy to get stuff or if I get lucky. To be honest, resellers have really put me off to it all. I don't want to have to try on 14 different phones, buy bots, or cross all of my fingers and toes to try and get a pair of sneakers. I certainly don't want to pay a crazy markup for them either. I have only paid over retail for one pair of shoes, and it was because they aren't ever making more (Lance Mountains).

When I was a kid, a good pair of sneakers was the least expensive way for kids to express themselves. You would save up, turn in bottles, beg your parents, etc... then go into the local Footlocker and walk out feeling like a king. Now you see resellers with a photo of 100 pairs of yeezys on Instagram. Makes me feel like there is no point of entering raffles.

I'm not 100% anti-reseller. I get if you buy one to wear and one to sell. It's just a bit much for me when you get a ton of pairs. Such is life. Didn't mean to whine so much. I guess the sneaker game isn't for everyone anymore.

Overkill X EQT Support Future "Coat of Arms"

Adidas totally killed it with this collaboration. In my opinion one of the best Adidas collaboration for 2017.

I passed on the 93/17s... the silhouette as a whole does nothing for me. They are very comfortable though.

The Yeezy Powerphase I feel like are a joke. Direct copy of a 80s Reebok workout shoe which nobody buys or wears. Now that adidas remade them and associated Kanye's name, people care?

Well of course anything with the name YEEZY on it will be hyped. I agree that it looks like Reeboks but I guarantee they don't have the same quality. A buddy of mine sent me on feet shots and they actually look good so I picked up a pair.

I tried to buy some ultra boosts off stock x.

They failed verification.

Kind of bummed out.

I sale on goat and stock x. Don't be bummed out. Be glad. Without that authentication you would've been stuck with a fake or B grades. Why did it fail authentication?

They didn't give me a reason. Just said that it didn't pass and that I would get a refund.

Yeah, I'm glad the service exists so I didnt have to handle it myself. Much safer than ebay or buying some other way.

Yes stay away from eBay or local Craigslist/OfferUp. Well just rebuy again. Also GOAT app is good too. I'm a top seller on GOAT app. Which ultra boost was it?

The haven ones.

Had been thinking about them for a while. Oh well, maybe I'll get the urge again in a week or two.

Triple black havens. I flipped a couple of pairs on week of release. You don't like the triple black LTD 1.0's instead? If you have the urge now don't wait weeks...remember with the shoe game prices do rise little by little. Just buy now again. Good luck.

I want to go uncaged, but rather not do it myself and then worry about holes for the laces. Don't really like the sock top on standard uncaged ultra boosts

The haven ones seemed ideal for that situation.

Uncaging is quiet a simple task. I've done them on a few UB's in the past. I agree the uncaged looks fresh especially on havens. My favorite uncaged UB hands down are the hype-beast and sole box. Havens sick too cuz of triple black.

Usually a Jordan trainer guy but wanted to try the new Addidas.
These are the coolest golf shoes I have ever had. Will try them on the course tomorrow.
