QUOTE(Gilthoniel @ Mar 28 2016, 04:13 PM) That's my favourite daily beater That's such a nice watch. Been wanting to get one ever since I started working. Now that I can afford it (barely), I can't justify spending that much money on a "basic" watch.nomos metro datum gangreserve  Sigh ... such are the ironies of life. |

QUOTE(Gilthoniel @ Mar 28 2016, 04:31 PM) A nice watch is essential bro. But stick with a budget. Yeah I agree but the only Nomos models I'm interested are the basic/clean ones like the Orion and and Tangente.A mechanical watch is like art... So many tiny components put together and telling you the time, date, etc. If u can appreciate the art of time... It's beautiful. My nomos is far from basic... More like it tells me the time and date, everyday I wind it to 'charge' and watch the power reserve turn and change from red to teal. It's beautiful. But it's not a complex watch like an apple watch la. Can read my whatsapp msgs and reply somemore! Hahahahaha. I'll leave the other more complicated stuff to my other watches/handphone. |

QUOTE(Gilthoniel @ Mar 28 2016, 05:02 PM) Go for the tangente bro. Thanks for the tips man. Will keep a lookout if I ever find myself in those parts of the world.It's much cheaper in Hong Kong or in Europe Don't buy from the online store. Ok enough about watches ... back to wasting our money on sneakers  |

Just a heads up. Have smaller feet or planning to get an UB for your lady?
OG UB's at a damn good price (with free shipping): http://www.ebay.com/itm/ADIDAS-ULTRA-BOOST...CMAAOSwezVW1L7Z If it was slightly smaller, I'd already got these for my wife. |

QUOTE(jcxii @ Mar 31 2016, 04:17 PM) where do you get those UB from? I want.... As long as you're willing to pay for shipping, there's still plenty on eBay and/or US/UK sports retailers at retail price. |

QUOTE(kurniawanK @ Apr 1 2016, 12:01 AM) how much do you pay for the shipping bro? Have read many forums and the durability issue is an exaggerated claim. The old soles probably are at least 90% as durable as the new Continental soles.Is it the normal core black? i mean the older version of the outsole. looking forward to cop an UB as well. But i heard the older versions got outsole durability issues. Meanwhile i don't really like the colorways of latest types like the continental soles and ST ones. Why people have that perception was because the little nubs tend to wear away on the old soles. However, they stop wearing away fast after they become flat. The Continental soles start out flat so the supposed 'wear' is not as visually apparent. I wore my OG UB extensively these past few weeks and the soles still look good. |

QUOTE(absorb-d @ Mar 31 2016, 09:46 PM) are they legit? eBay is always a risk but you're backed by PayPal. I've had a few cases where I got my money refunded so the Buyer Protection thing definitely works. Just have to be patient and go through the process.If worried, the best would be to buy from the major retailers like JD Sports, Footlocker, etc. Most of them offer international shipping which can be reasonable especially if you manage to buy a few pairs and spread the cost. |

QUOTE(Gilthoniel @ Apr 2 2016, 11:08 AM) The multi colour part is quite unique. I'm no Nike fan but definitely a fan of Zenith. I like. Sell your watch to me when you get bored of it. The other ST the blacks are in sale in Gardens though. 500plus only! bro some shoe and watch poison for you... » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « On another note, Adidas should really get Kanye to put on some ST's and get him to do a show or something. The ST's just aren't selling anywhere. |

QUOTE(Gilthoniel @ Apr 4 2016, 12:42 PM) Heel cup on the left is digging into the side of my left heel... So annoying Try removing the insole?What I found was that UB's tend to be very snug so even a slight anomaly (either foot or shoe) can be an annoyance. I tailor the fit via different socks and/or removing the insole, depending on what I wan't to do while wearing them. |

Couldn't quite believe my eyes but Adidas Indonesia were actually stocking 3M and Wool Grey Ultra Boosts. In hand and on feet these look bloody awesome.
Only problem was the price. Indonesian retail is around 10 to 20 percent more than Malaysian retail. Do the Ltd Ultra Boosts come to Malaysia? Might want to hunt them down when I'm back home. This post has been edited by wira1979: Apr 10 2016, 04:35 PM |
