Busy week so far
They look great I'm only really into hi tops and AJ1 mids are my favourite and this was one of the best from the few drops I've seen since the black and pinks.
Are they actually more comfortable with the zoom soles?
Cursing my big feet or I'd be buying the pineapples now.
The 90 South Beach are a pair I've been after for ages but the price has gone mad lately. Still searching for the Denhams at a reasonable price also

Nice! They look nicer in your photos than they did online tbh with both pairs. I like the pastel prides too!
I just got an email this morning...
So that's niceGood job I didn't find the ones I wanted yesterday (I did spend about an hour looking, none in my sizes anywhere) or I'd have about 5 pairs incoming which would go down well
Used to be my local store, spent a fair bit in there! Cool place. Haven't found anywhere decent since I moved back to UK, but haven't had a chance to look mind...

OK, thanks. Those damn south beach's are now on the list. Lovely colours! I feel I got the Denhams at a great time. Since then they seem to have all gone up.
Not had them on yet
The pineapples though... omg no idea what the difference in sole is, but man they're so comfy.
Excuse the dog hair on my leg, stupid bloody dog...
I actually think they have toppped my fav list now... they're soooo nice! Very very happy with them
They actually look amazing! Theres a female 2090 pastel coloyrway I really like but they'll never be in mens.

I passed on them a few times when they were in the sales and now have massive regret. There's a pair on ebay for £250 but I can't bring myself to pay it.
Are the pineapples on the new recraft shape/sole with the front airbag maybe?

Unsure about the soles, but feels very soft. The wife tried on mine as I told her how comfy they were and she said "you've worn them in already" I was like I've only had them on 1min! So obviously feels much more like that. A lot softer than some others.
I like the South Beach women's version... I like the men's but the women's are nicer and a little cheaper
but in that I've found some others ffs. I'll add them to my watch list. I have bought too many already in June!

OK last pair this month...
These and Nike Overreact are the most comfortable trainers I've ever worn, even above Ultraboosts but they're not durable at all. Only wear them walking the dog for about an hour a day and the first pair got a hole in the side after about 3 months, second pair looks to be going the same way too and the continental sole wears down very quickly. But my god are they comfortable. To be fair I wear them in all types of weather, through fields etc etc but still you'd expect them to last a bit longer.

I wish on the Boost’ed hiking trainers they’d use black or grey soles, the white discolours so quickly!
Yeah im loving them so far at the moment. So much so I bought another pair so I can chuck one in the washer and rotate.
It seems impossible to buy anything remotely durable anymore without going specialist and spending an absolute fortune.
Also everywhere I read said to half size down, so I did on the first pair, they are comfy but just a tad snug for my liking so gone back to my size on new pair. Only one tiny snag in the knit so far so we shall see how they hold up. They are being beaten pretty hard across all terrains. As I said previously if I can get 6 months or so of daily wear Id be pretty happy. The other thing is the price, retail is pretty dam expensive but at £100 in sales its not so bad.
There a more than a few colourways that have the black boost.

I was conflicted about going for these and ended up not bothering. I already have all white adidas hi tops and they just look so much better AJ's need colour. I feel they would be horrible to keep clean as well or it would be far more noticeable. Not a huge fan of the "dirty" retro style that is going on either within the trainer market although I'm sure I could buy a pair of these and have them looking like £700 retro trainers within a few weeks.
I would be tempted to buy these and make them my own. As in colour them myself using permanent markers and therefore make them rather funky and unique.
Yeah I read about going half size down but went TTS, they would've been too small if I did. You're right about the price, got mine for about £100 too, great price and I'd highly recommend them if they're on sale but I'd never pay retail for them.
Ah yes, I see them now.
UK 9 men’s is a US women’s 11.5 according to the stockX website but other websites state a UK men’s 9 is a women’s US 11, go by stockX size chart?
I'm getting the same. UK mens size 9= US Women's size 11. https://www.blitzresults.com/gb/shoe-size-conversion/
