The real question is can a singular layer of foam or gel possibly be as responsive and durable as multiple individual pellets fused together (boost)? The closest anyone has gotten so far is with React and that is still a single slab that breaks down much quicker and I think it will be quite a while before a new technological breakthrough happens in the industry. In my opinion Zoom was the standard for premium cushioning until Boost was introduced and that was a 20+ year run until something better came along, it could be a while before we see the next "step".

I've had a pair in rotation for 3 years or so now and while the construction of the shoe is excellent they get mighty uncomfortable around hour 5 of nonstop walking. To me, they're a great errand type of shoe but if you're doing a wide variety of things all day there are better options. They still look great though after years of beat so you'll get your moneys worth imo. Hope that kind of helps.

That is what it felt like back in the day. No resellers looking to buy all the 990 inventory. This is why I'm staying away from hyped bullshit from now on out. Even if you branch out to other brands. It's definitely ok. I like to diversify anyway. To much hype around J's and Yeezies. Thank you buckets and Foamer. For putting out this kind of content. 💯💯💯Salute. 👍👊✊✌🕺🏿💃💯🙏
