Grab it bro. It's super rare here

Wanted to man, but a bit too expensive.

It was IDR3 million per pair which works out to around RM900. Quite hard to justify especially after seeing it on Adidas Malaysia on-line for around RM720+ just a few months ago.

They were just sitting there (for my size at least) so I'm hoping against odds that it'll go on discount sometime in the future.

By the way, the boost material is quite fragile it seems and I've had a few bits/nubs(?) fall off because of accidentally kicking the door/bang stroller etc. I guess that's the price you pay for the material being so soft and comfortable.

u mean the sole? as in the boost foam ?

Yup, the white thing especially on the sides. Not too concerned as it's barely noticeable but just thought I'd point that out here. If you're wearing UB's, you might want to avoid kicking people/objects/etc.

The boost at the sole is still doing fine by the way.

I removed my insole for a day and now it's perfect 😉

Been wearing it only for a day so will try a few more wears
*
You and me both man. I remove the in-sole if I wear thick socks. I'm probably going to try a full size up before I buy my next pair.

The Boost shoe is the only shoe I own that is still super comfortable without an in-sole.

How often does Adidas Malaysia restock their Grey Wool/Metallic Ultraboost and is it worth buying them from Ebay for at least $250(excluding shipping) or should I just buy them from local reseller?
*
I've seen it on-line only once (a month or two ago) and so far they've not restocked ever since.

If you know anyone in Jakarta, you can get their help to get you a pair from Adidas there.

Is the one in Jakarta available online? Unfortunately I don't have anyone living there atm. I do have a brother living in the US though, so I might be able to buy one there but the price is quite steep at $240~250.
*
Well, it's IDR3.0 million here so works out to around USD230 per pair. Not that big of a difference.

The 3M's are worth it though as resellers are charging upwards of USD300 per pair.

I'm actually tempted to buy and resell in Malaysia tongue.gif

Anyone happen to know any local reseller selling a size 8 Ultraboost with popular colourway(Grey Silver/Metallic, Triple White, Cream, 3M, SNS) that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? Or should I just grab em from Ebay?

Triple White in US8.5 though:

Slated to hit retailers in 2017, this model features, as you might expect, an upper filled with Primeknit technology while resting atop of a Boost midsole; along with the traditional “cage” being spotted as well.

I really like the Blue and Grey.

Too bad the chances of getting them will still be zero though because of the hype.

Last one? I don't believe you for one second man tongue.gif

But honestly, I enjoy your posts ... you put a sneakerhead like me to shame with your growing collection.

I'll be going to Adidas later today after work ... here's hoping there's some good updates for us both.

Of course I didn't forget you fellas. Unfortunately, now my size is also gone. Only left are UK 6 and 6.5.

Luckily my wife thinks the 3M's are too funky, if not I'd be a whole lot poorer yesterday.

They've still got the yellow volts, solar red and royal blue though. I'll be all over them once they go on discount.

Has anyone here bought sneakers from endclothing? How long usually will you received dispatch email after you've made your purchase? This is my 1st time buying from the site and it has been 4 days ( purchase made on 21/4/16 and paid through Paypal) but  i haven't get dispatch email from them and it made worry. Have been contacting their customer service but so far no reply at all. Thank you

Ordered before and didn't encounter any problems.

My sneakers took about 2 weeks to reach me though.

Off topic, the UB ST looks quite nice uncaged:



Might do it if I can find a UB ST on the cheap.

Thank you for the reply. I have already received a refund from endclothing.  It seems that the sneaker that i wanted to buy was already out of stock and they had to cancel my order. Stock error that caused the delay. Want to buy the Y-3 Sport Approach. Expecting to received two pair of sneakers this week (Y-3 sport approach and Highsnobiety Ultraboost) but now have to be content with only the Highsnobiety Ultraboost from Ebay. ( which is now stuck at Ebay Global shipping centre in Kentucky since Friday) cry.gif  cry.gif

Honestly, I don't really trust the tracking information unless the courier is DHL or FEDEX. In my experience, they don't update that diligently.

I've had a few instances where the tracking was stuck at one stage and was only updated on the same day that I received the goods.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. At least until it's been 2 weeks or more since delivery and you still haven't received anything.

Second pair of UB's. These things are brighter than the sun but they were cheap. At least now I don't have to keep trashing my OG's and can rotate.

Damn you Adidas. Your UB's are going to bankrupt me.

Tell me about it man. I love all the PumaxStampd collaborations.

The good thing about Puma is that all you got to do is be patient. They'll definitely go on sale in a few months.

I have little knowledge about shoes so can someone help to give me some suggestion on which sneaker i should buy? Usually I'll wear half formal to my college, wearing beige/black pants most of the time and I rarely wear jeans.
Budget: RM200-RM300
Usage: Walking around only
Preference: Light weight, comfortable, canvas so they won't crack, long life.
Colour: Dark but not completely black/beige/brown (not too colourful since it doesn't look good if I wear beige/dark pants)
Feet's size: 31CM
Current sport shoes size: UK12/31cm
Please also suggest a website since I prefer to buy online.I'm eyeing on Vans Chima Pro, Adidas Superstar Berlin but not sure if they'll be comfortable to walk with...

Go to Asos.com and have a look. They offer free worldwide shipping so you'll definitely find something that will fit your budget.

At reseller prices you can check out "Boost MY" facebook page. At retail pretty much impossible unless you like queueing.
