Some new stuff released today per my spam email.

This includes another round of Ultraboosts at $180 a pop. They’re different than last years shoe. I remember the scarcity of the shoes being a sore point so get them while you can.

Edited to add a preemptive fuck off damone.

    White souls doesn’t work for me.

    Neither does $180. $150 is the max ive spent on shoes. One pair of Cole Hans and a pair of high arched brooks runners.

    When’s the black version come out 🤣

    I think they look great, but no way in hell am I paying $180 for a pair of tennis shoes.

    I ordered some because I’m a sucker for most things UW and I hate money.

    Where is all the new gear? The design team taking the year off too? There is absolutely nothing new (or from last year) on adidas‘ site, the UW Athletics page, nor the UBookstore. Guess making gear readily available so alumni/fans will buy it is some kind of novel concept the AD can’t grasp. JFC

    Gotta agree with @jecornel on this- the adidas merch rollout has been ATROCIOUS

    @Doog_de_Jour triggered 2.0

    Why do you taunt me @PurpleBaze?

    I see that these are still available, probably because they were fucking UW branded, which is what they should’ve done the FIRST TIME so the sneaker heads from LSU, Minnesota Vikings, etc. weren’t snapping them up!

    *sigh*

    It’s fine. I have a lovely pair of purple New Balances that I’m happy with.

    Sorry a lot of you sound old. These shoes are sick. Kids are wearing adidas way more than Nike these days since ye put his model out and these in particular are very wearable

    I don’t know if kids wear more Adidas. I bet that is probably not true. Adidas did come back from the dead tho.

    The worst phase was when people tried to pretend Under Armour was cool and better than Nike.

    There was a definite point where Under Armour made a product that at least I found to be better than Nike ... personally Nike isn't a product that I enjoy wearing whether from a workout standpoint or golf related gear, etc.

    Adidas I think has hurt UA more than Nike has.

    From a golf gear standpoint, I really liked some of the UA shirts that I had about 5 years ago. The shirts are still ok. Adidas really has overtaken them in terms of quality for both shorts and shirts. Travis Mathew is for me the best product that I've worn in a while though.

    TM is a humble brag teq. Never heard of it and looked it up. Good looking shit, fucking expensive dude. Ross sell it or something or you just slanging that bitcoin as well...?

    Edit: so for sake of not sounding like a hypocrite with a post in this thread. Is spending $150 on shoes like spending $90 on a polo? I say no but I’ll leave it to the judges to decide.

    If a shoe is not “very wearable,” what exactly is it?

    Under Armour makes good stuff for working out. Some of the Project Rock stuff is also good.

    Pay retail for an on hold programs shoes? Husky gear unfortunately has never been more irrelevant.

    Fuck yeah humble brag

    I don’t buy a ton of product at full price ... I take advantage of deals (25% off full order, bundles, sales) for most things

    I tend to play prior generation Bridgestone golf balls at $25-30 a dozen instead of $45 a dozen ... always have a few dozen of shit balls to bring out on days where I’m not playing well

    Just a heads up those purple ultraboosts are about 30% off today ($180 -> $126), well, per count down, 5 more hours on Fanatics. Most sizes appear to be available.
