Prefer the Hyperadapt 1.0 over the BB’s to be honest.

You ever have to loosen your football boots during a game as your feet became hot?

No, me neither.
I agree with that aspect. If they just came out and said "This is something we really want to do"

Yeah just say, we are pushing the boundaries of sneaker tech and experimenting etc etc.

I'd respect that far more.

I do kind of get what they’re saying though. Football players are playing until they come off and then they don’t go back on (unless half time), with basketball you can get subbed in and out olus time out so it is beneficial to be able to loosen laces and then re-tie to a set pressure. Im not sure you need all of this but it does solve an issue if its a quick system as changes can be fairly dynamic.

Have basketball players been screaming out for a solution to the torture they suffer from foot swelling then?

No idea, maybe i should of been clearer with my point.

My point is not that I believe it to be an issue, but that their narrative does make sense to a layman (me), as i can see it being a bit of an issue. I presume pro players wear a size too small to ensure no movement.

Equally, you don't have to start with a problem in order to create something that changes things for the better smile

I'm the other way around. Love the BB's, not a huge fan of the Hyperadapt.

It's a solution to a problem that doesn't exist with the bonus looking flash/cutting edge at the same time.

I'm all for pushing boundaries (except Foamposites...) but just be honest about the reasons.

Could say the same thing about owning a lambo or any other sports car capable of doing more than 70

Anyway, out in Japan at the mo. They've got some hand made oni tigers for around 200. Also found a shop selling the limited edition jordans/off whites etc. Yours for a min. £1k.

The Japanese seem to love their trainers though

It's a fair point, though. It's just marketing. Everyone does it because everyone has to do it.

"Lamborghini Urus is the world’s first Super Sport Utility Vehicle, in which luxury, sportiness and performance meet comfort and versatility. It offers best-in-class driving dynamics, alongside its unmistakable elegance of design. Urus embodies the characteristics of multiple souls: sporty, elegant and off-road, and has a suitability for everyday driving in a range of environments. With its surprisingly distinct engine sound, combined with high performance, Lamborghini Urus is anything but typical." - Lamborghini, 2018

Sounds a lot better than:

"We had to cash in because, f*ck me, there are a LOT of retards out there."

One is marketing, one is honesty.
