Had been live for 40 mins before I even spotted it. Hopefully they have a few more restocks this week
How did you get the heads up or just browsing and found it?

Yeah I ruled out those 1530WBB because I wasn't sure on the white toe box. I like the 1530KGL though, was tempted by those myself.

I've got the orange 576OO and in fairness the model looks a lot better on foot than off.

Thanks yeah they do look good. I'm keeping them (576) and the M1530KGL's. The 1530WBB and the 577's are going back for colour and bulk respectively.

For something completely different, are these worth anything? Probably 20 or so years old now but i never really wore them, despite walking about for literally 3 days in NY just to find them - Nike Dunk Lo Pro in obsidian and 3M silver. So I'm gonna get rid and just wondering if they go to a charity shop or ebay

Shame! Love how these get released with zero warning, loads of people will over look them however they are such a classic trainer!

I'd honestly choose the OG Boston sans boost.

Tried boost for the first time recently in the form of a pair of Nite Joggers. While I like the trainers as a whole, I'm really underwhelmed by boost.

They are without boost, it is the OG, foam sole! I have the boost pair also terrible trainer and the concept doesn't work.

Dont care for boost tbh, I have it in 2 pairs of my running trainers, Boston 8 (lightstrike foam also) and the solar boost, it performs well running and the boston 8's are an amazing shoe however I believe both have guidance rails/systems in place to structure the boost, when adidas put a random upper on a big slab of boost it doesn't work for me, they are comfy but no more so than a gazelle etc

I'm finding that boost "bottoms out" if that makes sense?

ASICS Gel and Nike Air are far superior, imo.

Is it just the nite joggers you have? Obviously there are different densities of boost used.

What are you doing in them? I am running sub 7:30 miles (4-5 runs a week on mixed terrain) in mine and certainly hasn't bottomed out at any point! I am not super light either!

Yep, my only boost trainers are the Nite Joggers.

Not doing any running in them. The feeling of "bottoming out" is just an observation from when I've put loading / impact on them.

Don't get me wrong, I do really like the trainers, I'm just very underwhelmed by boost, given the amount of praise that surrounds it.

They look a lot bigger. Was hoping for a 12. Damn flipper feet.

What sort of price are you after.


having a look online. hard to tell prices for lightly used dunks.

Are they roomy for an 8.5? Would you say a 9 could fit into them comfortably enough?

Yeah they are a big 8.5, I'm normally a 9, or 9.5 in some NB Made in England and adidas and they fit me ok.
No idea how much I'm looking for just something fair.
