Nice
Sir order mo ultra boost 21
I liked the video but LOVED that you put everything in the description. Definitely watching more because of it.
I bought the new 22 ultra boost and I got to say I love how they feel on my feet. Also I'm only 5.5' with the extra boost on my heel it makes me feel much taller and that's a plus in my book.
Love the UB 21 model! We need more consortium collabs with this model!
Having been a huge fan of 1.0s, I was surprised by how much I liked the 21s. Theyâve quickly become my daily pair. Had to go an extra 1/2 size up though for the perfect fit.
this shoe is great, love the comfy feeling wearing this for 8 hours of work
Still rocking ultra boost 19,first time I purchased 4 pair's of one shoe
Heâs KicksâŠâŠLove your channel,reviews, and passion for sneakers! Those hydro-dipped boost are SICK!!!
i totally agree... the firmer Boost to me is more comfortable for longer hours of use... ppl often dont appreciate that... i feel the regular boosts after wearing for longer hours my feet does start to get fatigue and sore... i usually walk for hours everyday and even like the futurecraft 4d feels better even though much firmer than boost...
Love that you said my suggestion about the winter version đđŸ
James, you have the best and most useful videos. Tx man.
I got an insole slip after 5 months. Just took them back to the store and got full store credit and got new ones. They told me it was a problem with the early shoes but that they had fixed them now
Good one, thank you James đđ
Great video, Hes!
Super thorough thank you!
Great review.
The title convinced me. I only ever had one shoe that lasted 8 months without disintegration. Maybe I can't walk straight but I need actual durability besides ventillation and comfort.
I purchased more Ultraboost shoes variant than any other shoes .
I have 9 Pairs of ultraboost laceless , 1 pair of Ultraboost 20 & recently i bought the Ultraboost 21for $102 after discount.
I love this shoes & used it as my daily wear . It is much more comfortable than skechers gowalk shoe .
I never used ultraboost for running . I prefer the zoom x or react foam for running .
Ultraboost is overprice & it is wise to buy it few months later to get big discount.
Dude, YES! That con about the insole slipping! I went to the US Open a couple weeks ago and brought only one pair of shoes that I had never worn before: my new Ultraboost 21s. By the end of the first day it was obvious that the insole was sliding around, leaving the tips of my toes extending over the end and onto the midsole on both feet. I actually hated feeling this, and after a few weeks of wear, itâs hasnât stopped. Itâs actually very, very distracting.
Iâm somehow glad Iâm not the only one and somebody else mentioned it. I was waiting for it to come up.
thats crazy haha i didnt think it was a real think it hasn't happened to me but thanks for confirming it happens to others!
Had a problem with the insole moving around during running, walking, workout etc. Bought a carpet gripper and put it in the bottom of the insole and hasnât moved since. Definitely worth it if you have been having that problem. Ultraboost 21 has been my go to.
I bought my first pair of Ultraboost 21s recently thanks to one of your videos. I love them. I stand on cement floors all day at work and they actually help me not have excruciating heel pain by the end of the day! They are truly the next best thing comfort-wise to my Birkenstocks. (Which I would never wear to work because I would be roasted mercilessly. And I would deserve it.) đ
Do they hold up well if you stand still for long periods of time? Had to send my NB 1080's back cause they didn't despite their over comfiness outside of the end of my shifts
Can we wear these daily for college to part time job and etc as a international student in us
I love Boost all I wear now. I never fell like I need to take them off even in walking around all day long. Its the Goat all around shoe imo.
I have the red ones. I loved them! Very comfortable! Really the best phone I own as far as comfortability
Damn, you got the Ultraboost phone??
I love both the Ultraboost DNA and the Ultraboost 21. Iâm a short, fat old lady with wide feet and ankle issues. Iâm a teacher and I wear my three pairs of 21âs almost every day: monochrome black, monochrome red, and gray and aqua blue. I wear the menâs version as I hate how narrow and short the toe box is on the womenâs versions. It is a heavier and more aggressive looking shoe but Iâm cool with that. If I want something more dainty or lighter, Iâll go for a pair of Converse Chucks (with orthotic insoles). Speaking with insoles- I donât have to wear my insoles in these unless I plan on doing an insane amount of walking (more than I do walking around my classroom, campus, and running errands). Iâm going to look for those white ones with the rainbow sole! Noice! Oh, these are easy to clean. Iâm clumsy and accident prone and ha e splashed stuff on my feet and was able to remove it and clean my shoes up pretty easily by hand and in the washing machine.
you are goals lady
I wear my ultraboost 21 for work, itâs so comfortable all day.
Had a problem with the insole moving around during running, walking, workout etc. Bought a carpet gripper and put it in the bottom of the insole and hasnât moved since. Definitely worth it if you have been having that problem. Ultraboost 21 has been my go to.
Same I glued mines
Same!
Great review. I'm huge fan of og. Still huge on nmd tho too
Awesome hydro dip. Adidas should release your exact custom
I got a pair in triple black. I love them so much, but wish I had gone half a size up (I have wide feet). I usually wear Nikes in 10.5 (running shoes and Jordans), but for Ultraboosts, I should go up half a size for sure.
Great shoe overall!
If you take the insole out you will have plenty of space đ
I really liked the look of the Parley pair⊠wasnât about to pay that price for it though
Please have a whole video âŠâŠâŠon how you tie your laces. đđŒđđŒđđŒđđŒđđŒđđŒplease
I had the same issue with the insole slipping! It would happen when I would walk a lot in them at work. I'm pretty skinny (roughly 150lbs) so weight may have some to do with the slippage since a friend of mine who is a little heavier has not had that issue. I eventually had my toes being off of the insole while wearing the shoe. Not only has it happened for me in the 21's but also in the 19's and 20's. I hope Adidas can fix this issue in the 22's since the issue has been consistent for multiple versions now
Same problem and i am 100lbs heavier than you.
The collar does rub around my ankles in weird, uncomfortable ways. Making the UB 21 NOT no-show socks friendly. That's why I prefer the UB 1 to 4 over the 21's. All around comfort. No fuss. đđŒ
Were not using shoes for sock friendly bro :D
With long socks its perfekt, and no-show socks are 2006' not 2022'
@@koksiantor Long socks are so 1985, not 2022.
I have them and for some reason they give me issues on my left foot arch area for some reason....I can't wear them for to long. But overall they look and feel good for the most part.
I loved it the first time I tried on! But I couldn't keep it because of the front of the shoe, on the external side, was touching and hurting my little toe. I suppose it was because is quite narrow, but for me, the problem was the hard protection they have put in all around the front of the shoe. It's too sharp! I tried in one higher size but it was still touching, and was looking too big anyway.
The arsenal CW is đ„
I only have 2 pairs of Ultraboosts: The original uncaged ones, and the recent UB21. I do feel like the UB21's are really firm compared to the older model. The primeknit upper feels nice but I am slightly disappointed the Boost midsole isn't as soft and squishy as the original models since that was my main reason to stick with Boosts. I do like the look of the 21's over the 19/20s though...
I like the 21s upper but that midsole it's just awful I prefer the 20s over the 21s, and the 1s and 4s are just the best overall
I dislike the upper and midsole.
Hey man! Im a new sub here from the Philippines a fan of shoes also. Can I ask if you can do reviews on addidas OG's or nike OG's also. Thank you.
They arenât as bouncey as previous ultra boosts. I know adidas said they did that on purpose for better stability but for pure comfort I always end up choosing the older models before my 21âs.
Yeah the 21's were a big change from past Ultras in the sense that they were really tight but after about a month of wearing them I got used to that or maybe they loosened up, I don't know. But one problem I do have is I've only had the shoes five months and the texture that is glued to the bottom that contacts the ground? It's falling apart. parts of it have completely fallen off already and it hasn't even been 6 months. I much prefer the old texture
I also almost fell down the stairs once because the big bubble on the back of the shoe clip Astaire that I was walking down but that's because I'm stupid, it's not really the shoe
Literally just watched the 2 months review. Perfect timing haha
Free hikers are amazing . After using them a lot my left Achilles got a tendonitis bump . Then changed shoes for a while and it went again. (Could be just tomuch walking/running)
as a person with a wider foot i need to take the insoles out and even then they are still tight. especially around the ankle and top of my foot. like you mentioned the tongue material doesnt really give you much room to stretch if you have a fatter/wider foot. i did find that they stretch out over time however and its not as bad as before but if you have issues fitting into narrow shoes be ready to have your feet squeezed for 1-2 months before they stretch out enough to be comfortable.
My biggest con is I donât like the piece of material at the end of the toe. When wearing with thin socks or no socks you feel that with your toe and itâs kinda irritating. However with that being said, if thatâs my biggest fault thatâs not bad. Iâm a fan. I would rate them 7.5 out of 10
What would you recommend as a change to my Ozweego running shoes which I love - I love the comfort and width which works well on my knees. Thanks
Any of you has had some peeling on the sole of their UB21? Amazon has lots of people complaining and showing pics of their peeled soles. With a sole composed of so many disparate units instead of just one whole sole like in the previous UBs, that's bound to the the first point of failure.
Great fitting and comfortable shoes. My main gripe with them after only five months is how much the sole actually wears. On my pair the rubber is mostly gone and the torsion bar is exposed. My ultraboost dnaâs sole had way less wear after a year.
I have all black shoes. I got them because I always like to have an all BLACK shoe. They last longer, can wear out, etc...but the foam is already starting to chip off and its WHITE foam underneath. Biggest flaw I have ever seen.
How long would you say they take to break in? My feet aren't too happy after a couple days so far
Man can you tell Adidas to bring back alphabonce I loved that shoe in every version
thats top secret
I got mine UB 21 x Parley for $50 on Black Friday!
I love these shoes, I can wear them all day
What do you mod the strips with? Hydro dip also? You can do no hands easy with the .0s.
Hes you need to try the Vans Ultrarange Exo! Most comfortable vans, and the ultrarange technology is softer than boost imo!
It's more comfortable than boost? Is it like authentic canvas where it's zero drop too? (That's what I'm looking for)
I canât wait for the nmd s1
Hey Hes, where did you get those stickers on the cage of the UBs?
Where did you get the material to do the custom stripes on the white/neon yellow pair?
I have the ultraboost 20 and I havenât tried these shoes yet and Iâm interested that the firmer feel is said to be more comfortable for standing up all day compared to a softer sole. I skipped these thinking that it was better to have softer vs stiffness. Also I didnât realise these were good for wide feet the UB 20 feel ok to me and I have slightly wide feet, I heard that the new 22âs are narrow and I assumed the 21âs were as well. What other soft cushion soles can you recommend you say there are ones softer than this. As I get heel pain with plantar fasciitis and I use these shoes for standing up all day at work.
Hey Kicks!! Which pair are the black ones u have on in this video? The Core black ones in The adidas website look a bit different than the ones you have on. Thanks
I too have had insole slip in my UB20s had to use tape to keep them in place
Hey how did you get the 3 stripes to look like that ? I got most of the UB21 and I want to pimp them out please follow up
Is the toe box area less snug than the 19/20 models? I tried those out and didnât get them because they were too tight.
I'm going on a 10 day disney trip and with all of your shoes what would actually be the best?
How do you customize your Ultra boosts 21 where do you go or what app do you go to
Hi. How do you change the color of the midsole?
I need those white ones you had dipped
Hes I think before you said you wear Tiros with sneakers? Was that right? I can't find a decent pair of joggers.
Had to change the insoles in mine since they did slip.
The look is far more better than Infinity React.
No issues with Adidas over the years or Nike for a standard size ten in running trainers but these 21's have rubbed the hell out of my pinky toes which I have read about from other folks suffering the same on different forums. There is a piece of plastic/rubber sown inside the trainers around the toes area probably to protect from water getting in when running etc but when you buy these new and you are trying to break them in you might find if a pinky toe is anywhere near it, it's going cause some annoying painful rubbing issues especially when it comes to running. They have got better after 8 weeks of wearing and toes have started to heal but I'd like to see Adidas possibly remove that toe plastic/rubber section and simply have the comfortable mesh on there like other high end running trainers. The 21's are comfortable (other than the early toe rubbing) and I find them good to run in also even if they are on the heavy side. Just the initial pains wearing spoilt the whole buying experience as had heard so many good things.
Where do you get that rainbow hex hydro dip film?
Also, if you made a Soft and Squishy t-shirt, I'd get one. 3xl please. Lol
I wear fox rivers, darn tough and never have any issues but with other socks Iâll have rubbing from toe cage.
My local outlet had UB 21s for 59 dollars so I bought a pair and its just incredibly comfortable. Actually, UB 1.0. feel kinda hard to me after wearing 19s and 21s
i love my ub 19, i wear them without insoles, the knit is the best, good for widefoots
Just dived in and got me a pair at 80 dollars. have a pair of 19s, skipped the 20, now 21 coming soon.
Wore mine for 6 mos. The sole near toes shredded. The heel cushion great everything else just avg
Do you have the peak tai chi Nick Young clouds? How do these compare to those?
Any recommendations for flat feet?
Dad some issues with my small toes rubbing on the side of the shoe .. maybe I need to go up a half size but I'm usually always a 9.5 so wondering if they run true to size..?
I have 2 pairs of ultraboost the 1 and 3 model, both of them had the insole slipping inside when I wear them and they always scratch the back of my foot and it hurts..
Whats it like for Running?
Luv this shoe but insole slides back and leaves space under toe. Mainly left so I thought maybe I just have a goofy foot. Good to know
What shoes would you recommend for delivery drivers ?? Looking for all day support & comfort
If you want to save some money the x_plr are a decent price and very comfortable. My gf wears that to work at the hospital for 12 hour shifts and says her feet never bother her. But everyoneâs foot is different of course.
I have a ub20 size 10 and it feels like heaven. I also have a ub21 size 10.5 and it feels really snug and heavy but looks nicer tho
You should try Oofos recovery shoes, slides/sandles.
I wear Oofos slides all the time. Super comfortable
One of the best pair of shoes in my opinion. Love these shoes!!!
Only problem I have with the shoes is that they are too tight on my feet like they are putting pressure / compressing them. Had them for a month and had to return them as my feet would get fatigue
shoulda tried taking out the insoles
for me the padding around ankle was irritating ao didnt give em a chance after that.
Plz do Fila renno n generation
I want a pair
How are they for wide feet?
Hey guys, I'm new to sneakers and I was wondering how you clean the cloth part of these shoes, cuz I got mine slightly dirty and I was having a little trouble cleaning mine
There is a cleaning kit listed in the description called âreshoevn8râ it cleans the upper of the shoe really well.
Boost to me on these feels harder than all my other boost trainers??
I personally think they are too heavy to run in but great for lifestyle wear
Would yâall go a half size down?
The Winter version is now available (Atleast here in Canada it is)
What kinda pants are u wearing with these
It is really bad. I wore them for couple of weeks and never wore them again. Shoes sole keeps sliding and this upper mesh is not good support especially when running. You feel you feet is displacing left and right and your knees are hurting. Also thee heel drop creates so much pressure on my back.
I like my 21s but I donât like the firmer boost, I prefer the og ultraboost
How they feel when you driving stick? Can you be smooth with the clutch?
Weird you say that I was driving in these yesterday and it felt strange. But I wasnât driving stick
Got the Pharrell ultraboost dna and solar hu đ
I tried them on for the first time about a month ago. Cannot get them on my feet. Just too tight across the instep.
I could get them on but I wouldn't be able to feel my toes after 3 minutes of wearing them. They desperately needed a tongue.
@@RediRoc I couldn't get them passed my instep.
đđđ they feel like the monarchs as crazy as it sounds
