Tyven's Shoe Emporium

Knit shoes are garbage for cold weather. Gotta roll with suede, Js or Timbs in the winter/fall (or those weatherproof Alphabounces I just snagged)

WOOL ULTRABOOSTS BOYS

[Tokitoki]

I have these for cold weather. I got them last year and it looks like they reissued them recently? My tongue doesn't have that logo on it.

[tyven]

prob just branding update. Idk much about ACG but I remember the ones Drake made popular just had a nike logo.

WOOL ULTRABOOSTS BOYS

seriously thinking about grabbing those burgundy wools that dropped a week or so ago. kinda nice that UB are hitting the saturation point where every CW doesn't sell out in 2 seconds and they're actually getting discounts pretty regularly now.

yea I was at Footlocker and they had both wool colors sitting on shelves and I was like oh dope. then I did not cop because I still have gen 1 wool UBs that I will wear until I can wear them no more.

[Moridam]

only thing holding me back is i've already got a bunch of boost, so i've been thinking of getting a pair of those new AF1-SF mids to diversify my collection a bit. probably i will just end up getting both, lol

[Krandor]

The SF-AF1s are dope (for the most part, all the orange ones look fucking stupid, and the Highs are just awful).

The zip up back is awesome

Btw, any of you guys watch B99 this week? It was about sneakers AND had a normcore joke

[tyven]

Something about the SF mids look off to me, almost like they are incomplete or something, I really want a pair of the highs but I feel like they would look terrible on me. Saw the navy/gums at the mall and they were beautiful.

I'm like half a season behind on B99. Wow I can't wait to get to that episode.

[Boyiee]

Yo I want some wool UBs.

[Moridam]

just ordered the black/hazel AF1 SF. i love the look of the shoe and i am excited as hell to see how it actually fits

[Krandor]

Finish Line near where I live moved locations in the mall, and got a giant restock to go a long with it.

R1 Japan Triple Blacks, 97 Silver Bullets, UB Mids, it keeps going.

Grabbed the Silver Bullets and ran for the hills, could spend so much fucking money in there right now.

[Moridam]

did they restock the OG silvers or the ultras? sick pickup either way, but if you got the OGs at retail i'm insanely jealous. i'd actually consider making the drive for those, lol.

[Krandor]

They were the Ultras, so not quite as hype. They had them right out front so I sprung for that instantly after seeing how nice they looked in person.

While I was checking out I noticed they had the R1 Japans sitting out, but I didn't wanna throw down on that shit with Christmas spending on the horizon. I already got the all white ones and I own enough black shoes as is. Couldnt even wear that shit for months anyways with how fucking thin the PK on them is and another MA winter coming up fast.

I honestly cut out of there asap so I'm not sure what else they had in stock. Didn't wanna risk seeing shit and spending the money.

Ive never been much of a big shoe person but I randomly browse this thread, I normally just get whatever pair of Nike frees I come across when my curent pair bites the dust, but since my wife just got a much higher paying job I figure maybe I should spoil myself and pick up a nicer pair, I keep seeing you guys praise the ultra boost, I originally thought NMDs were ultraboosts, which I like the look of the NMD more, question is how much of a difference between them and are the UBs that much better?

[Krandor]

The Boost sole in Ultraboosts is different from other Boost products, the pellets are more condensed then in the others. In all honesty tho, it's not gonna make a huge difference in overall comfort, especially if you're just using them as a general lifestyle shoe and not for running. My most comfortable Boost shoes imo are NMD R2s.

Go with what you think looks good.

[tyven]

Choosing between UBs and NMDs is a win win. Both are comfortable and dope af.

[Krandor]

Unless they're XR1s, which look fucking whack imo

[tyven]

I’m not a cage guy but I actually like the XR1

I love my uncaged UB, but my NMD R2's I wear a ton more they are just as if not more comfortable.
