    So I was surprised to find no thread for Adidas.

    I have always been huge fan of select Adidas, alot of the soccer inspired shoes, skateboard shoes and their boost range. I actually got my first pair of ultraboost, the latest 19 in dark pixel and I love them! The comfiest sneakers EVER for me. I have been wearing my Nike air Max 270 to death now the one air bubble popped.

      Ooooh, the newest ultra boosts!  I'm a huge fan of the originals.  Crazy comfortable.

      Blanket-line all the things!!!

        Never had the original, but this is supposed to have 20% more boost. It's soft yet firm, doesn't feel like it will bottom out. Also has a great amount of support and stability.

          Good man @Jordonf9

          I was a big “three stripes” fan for years. In the UK the Originals line is strongly linked with terrace culture and football fandom. When I was coming up in the 80’s and 90’s a pair of 501’s worn on top of some Samba or Gazelle was when going to Anfield to watch the footie was as cool as it got.

          I have a small collection of about 20 pairs. I’ll get them up here bit by bit.

            Trawled through my phone and found some old IG edits from 2013…

                Good selection @neph93 . They actually make the black model your wearing with boost, I was close on getting a pair. Boost is great, but I still love air max, only owned the 270, which I love with flyknit.

                I did have a pair of irunners(5923) with boost a while ago. I wasn't impressed with it besides its looks. Wasn't enough boost, or stiff enough, like the new 19s are thicker and have perfect ratio of cushion and stiffness. Also they had NO support or stability….horrible to wear.

                      They are rather nice @EJS.

                      My kicks are worn rarely now. Even in summer I prefer boots.  I love the aesthetic of OG shoes still and the colourways are often fantastic, but it turns out with time and age that I now don’t consider them particularly comfy or particularly supportive when you’re on your feet all day. I guess the Boost design fixes that but I’m so dialed in to the OG profiles that I can’t get on with the super modern ones (Yeezy’s make me want to throw up).

                        Wise words. This might be a huge unpopular opinion but Nike Jordans fall in the same (hideous) category for me. Never liked those and the hype around them.

                        Anyway, anyone remembers the Adidas Rekord iteration from 15 (?) years ago? I still think their silhouette is gorgeous and timeless. They should bring them back, it's about time.

                            Check out the Adidas Samoa and Samba, they look similar to the Rekord.

                              I have had more pairs of Samba than I’ve had IH jeans. Only one pair of Samoa but they’re great for sure.

                                @EJS Those Forrest Hills are gorgeous, but I'd fear they'd get indigo stained within minutes!

                                  I look at those nowadays and think, ouch, no midsole, no comfort for my feet. I can put up with my Chuck 70s for most of a day without hurting too much. That's with upgraded insoles.

                                    ^ this is why I almost only wear boots now.

                                      ^ me too…and I find it puzzling as I used to find sneakers more comfortable than heavy and sturdy boots. Do you think this may be a result of age and older, weaker feet (I’m 55) or is it due to the fact that these very high quality boots offer superior comfort, posture and support than any sneaker out there?
                                      My feet will feel more sore after a long day in sneakers than a similar day in Wesco/White’s/Viberg boots.

                                      The journey is the objective.

                                        I think the reason boots are more comfortable is that the heels pitch your weight forward towards your toes. A folk remedy for plantar fasciitis in the South is "prescribing" cowboy boots for this very reason. Sometimes a boot can feel harsh, particularly on the heel, at first, but I find that well-made boots ultimately win when it comes to comfort over extended periods of time, even if the footbed is hard, so long as it is flexible.

                                        As for sneakers, while I love my Pureboost Go Adidas, sometimes I find excessively cushioned sneakers to be comfortable at first, but in the end more taxing than simple vulcanized sneakers or boots. Kind of like how thick carpets at trade shows when you're on your feet all day sound good in theory, but actually require more effort and tire your feet and legs out more. I think the boost technology somehow hits the right balance of cushioning and comfort.

                                        Think it, be it.

                                          I am wearing boost today. After being on my feet all day in steel toe caps I find these to be like a cuddle for my feet!!
