still waiting for your review :)

[@Letsgetmoney-de6nv]

Can these be added to Jordan 1’s?

[@olku]

Letsgetmoney2015 yeah they can, just gotta make sure you get the right size

[@markn3586]

Ok, so which ones are for performance in sneakers and which are for comfort in boots?

[@jflight4]

The Ultraboost 20 is such a clean shoe, not a runner myself, but great that they’re so functional, casual wise they’re a perfect go to with everything that’s super comfortable too. Nothing different as you say, but not a bad thing in this case

[@konstantinoskattis5673]

Exactly!

[@SuperGear360]

This is how you review shoes people. One of the best shoe reviews.

[@aliyaal-yaqoub1732]

I Agree

*laughing Seth Fowler noises*

[@joetoe9207]

I just watched Seth F.’s review. He didn’t say anything about running in this shoe. I sheepishly admit that I wouldn’t mind learning about the running experience.

I think it's dope we're getting running shoe reviews as well. Thank you, Mrs. Wing!

[@WearTesters]

Today we have a breakdown of the latest in the Boost line from adidas, the UltraBoost 20. What do you think of them? Too much of the same ol' thing, or are they tweaked just enough for ya? Let us know, and as always, thanks for watching!

As a 160kg casual runner with wide and flat feet, I absolutely love the UB20s! Just got myself a second pair...it’s that good!

[@cholote313]

How's the fit? I have wide feet as well I wear size 12s people have been saying to go a size bigger your thoughts?

[@shylock1977]

cholote313 if you are getting it for running go true-to-size; if it’s going to be used for walking/casual use then go half size up.

[@Unknown-ej6np]

For Walking is it a must to go a size up?

[@falcongunner33]

Great point by Mrs. Wing about when too much change can be a bad thing. I remember the Nike hyperdunk and hyperfuse that released in 2010 having the perfect blend of soft phylon and zoom to give you an amazing cushion for the price. I just pulled out both my beat to shit pairs and they're more comfortable and responsive then my current Zoom Rize. Both the following models had pretty hard phylon that wasn't the same. I would be a huge fan of a well received model just staying in the production for as long as it's popular. If they can do it with the air monarch, they can do it with anything.

[@paulandreotti1639]

3:10 Fun fact: when Adidas initially released my favorite running sneaker ever, the Supernova glide 8, the rubber had so much durability it was easily the greatest investment in footwear I had ever made. The subsequent pair that I got of the glide 8 (same model) were so wimpy compared to the first. Feel free to call me crazy, but I swear there was a difference. They must've made a trade off for grip vs durability--after all, grip is still providing value but will also require your consumer to by another pair sooner. After all, boost foam doesn't really bottom out, so midsoles won't be the reason for a replacement. Sucks, but it's a smart move by Adidas, if I'm not off base on this.

[@blackmanwhitesuit]

Sounds a little cork board, but I wouldn't put it past people who know how to make money down to science.

[@majin88]

Oh Boost bottoms out, mon frere. 300 miles in, you feel the difference.

[@paulandreotti1639]

@@blackmanwhitesuit The main problem is we don't really know what does go to the bottom of our shoes. When I buy tires and I get something like the Michelin Sport Cup 2s, I know I'll get nice, grippy performance, no tread in 6 months and a grinning salesman waiting for another $1600. I'll take "regular," all-weather, daily driving tires. My Adidas Terrex boots have only gone close to flat in the outside, rear corners--I've had them for nearly 5 years and I have walked 2 miles in them, 5x a week to work for nearly a year, plus countless landscaping jobs and a little hiking. Once again, Continental rubber. In my opinion, it's like pick-up trucks and sports cars, different rubber for different jobs. I just wish we had options to choose from.

[@paulandreotti1639]

@@majin88 Oh, damn. The shoe I have, the Glide 8, has EVA on top of Boost since it can be unstable. I figured it was getting a little firmer because it's technically 1/4 EVA.

[@kotarokoumi2885]

UB 20s are more restrictive and durable than the 19s imo

[@thorinossman5082]

Love all the uploads

[@Hatshipupu]

Stumbled over this review by chance, but happy to see that someone points out Continental rubber is for grip and not durability. As for UB 19 vs 20 the new cage design made a huge difference for me, because with the 19 the lower front of the cage stretched too much forward and I felt it digging into my forefoot when laced up which made them uncomfortable to wear, so I skipped them. So glad the 20 had the angled cage front like the older UBs again. Still quite a heavy shoe though. If you like the boost feel, try Reebok's Floatride Energy running shoes, basically same stuff but way lighter.

[@ninosantos6174]

More content like this i like the conversation between you and ms wing

[@asm200sx]

The cage of the 19 traps sweat whereas the 20 does not. The 20's outsole thickness is slightly thinner than the 19 and for me the cushioning feels a tad bit softer than the 19. If you remove the insoles you will also see the difference in design between the two shoes.

[@rogelioadagne4165]

Got the 19s on sale, its nice to know that there's not much difference in the tech with 20s lol. Hey can you do a review of the adidas zoneboost. Thanks.

[@jmr007]

I had to return my 20's yesterday after 3.5 weeks =( because the continental rubber wore out sooooo damn quickly + the lateral forefoot flattened out within inside the shoe. Did absolutely no running, 1hour walking 4x p/week, avoided use off-road or wet-weather because it was a new expensive shoe. 100% agree... Stick with the 19's if you need them

[@leann9844]

Thank you guys for making such in depth reviews! Especially love that you actually run in a lot of the shoes :)

[@tony_2341]

Love that forefoot strike on her running. I would love to be able to run like that. I know it takes a lot of training to get there. Thanks for the review. I have 1 pair of 19s and 3 pairs of 20s.

[@ShiNwoMbat]

I feel the 20 has a more smooth heel to toe transations. Just copped a black pair with color boost for $88. Sometimes is about timing, when the 20 space pack came out they were not part of the black Friday promotion Adidas was running last yr at Roosevelt field mall. I wasn't plan to buy any 19 but for $65 an pair I bought a pair then went back to the store few mins later to grab another pair. Can't really beat that price.

Love the 20 as they feel to me a bit more secure on the upper then 19 and cage is so nice both great but like the 20 better thanks for the review. Colourway on 20 is awesome

[@zenon351]

Just ordered mine because of this vid. I got the Tech Indigo with the metallic sole colorway. Can't wait to feel what all the talk about the boost is all about. And I'm coming as someone who has never spent more than 60$ on a sneaker.

[@jordanebacher]

IMO there's a huge difference between the 19s and the 20s = the heel cup on the 20s is way more comfortable

[@variandavid377]

My body hurt just hearing the amount of miles covered. LOL!! You are a champ @thisismrswing ✊🏽💯👐🏽

[@fianjolly9699]

I love the kobes in the background! 😍

[@wyweb]

Ultraboost 19 have a 29 mm stack height while the Ultraboost 20 have a 22 mm stack height. That's a pretty huge difference IMO

[@kasperpetersen6856]

The italian tyre company Pirelli was actually THE frist rubber company to started making rubber soles for shoes back in the day in italy.

[@por3328]

I like the fact that the Ultraboost 20 is less stretchy. So I'll take it over the 19s in that point. And as wide footer, the additional stitching at the lateral side helps contain my foot better than the 19. I went TTS for both the 19 and 20. Even though it's longer length-wise, the shape of my foot fits better at tts. I agree that performance wise it's the same. But the little changes favored me. So for me, it's the same performance with little improvement and I'll take it. 20 > 19. That's just my perspective.

Love this shoe ultra boost 20 is excellent running shoe for long runs daily miles and tempo runs. It does it all and quality can’t beat adidas. I also went half size down. To me the 20 feels more stable in the upper

[@stillhazed]

I think it went 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 19 and now 20. They should have just said 5.0 and 6.0 lol.

[@richardgrissom3674]

stillhazed very true but I get why they changed it as the jump from the 4.0 to the 19 was big

[@DarkPa1adin]

20 should be 19+

[@davidmitchell7707]

I've heard it's a marketing logic thing; after a while, having sequential number entries can make consumers feel fatigued, which is why a lot of movie franchises stop using numbers after a certain point and start using subtitles instead. Similar logic is why Apple stopped numbering iPads. It also just lets people know, "This is the newest model," without having to know the rest of the numbers.

[@SteveUnderhill]

Next year they’ll do XXI for sure.

[@_HNWI_]

Just to make it easy to remember that released in 2019 and 2020

[@Fullblown671]

I love the comfort of the UB but when the UB19 came out I got major heel slippage. I've tried all sizes and still got really bad heel slippage on both pairs. On the other hand, the UB 4.0 fits perfect with no heel slippage whatsoever. I'm assuming because the UB20 has little differences compared to the UB19, I'd still get the same problem. 😔

[@RKGupta-qj6mv]

Absolutely amazing, thanks both for the way you put yourself into this review . Connects people with kind of " 3/multi " dimensions...

[@zaf2643]

After 7 months , the ultraboost 20 is selling in my country from USD 185 to USD 109 .

[@MrMustav]

I disagree with regard to size. If you use it for lifestyle go half a size up and if running then buy your original size.

[@AndrewficationGaming]

Thank you! just bought Ultraboost 20 today!!

[@perpetuallyinsomniac]

UB20 has way better support and lockdown. UB19 is more comfortable for lifestyle wear, but definitely not for long runs. The 19s gave me a blister on my sole after a 7 mile run, but didn’t have the same issue with the 20s. Definitely more inclined towards 20s for performance

[@InZaneKicks]

I agree there should be something thats a bit more noticeable to differentiate each revision of the past model.

[@GH05TLYR4NG3R]

I’ve been running in the ultraboost for long distance since I got the OG pair, and while I still love them, I recently got the Nike Zoom Fly 3 and I absolutely love them for long distance. Mrs. wing should give em a try!

[@richardgrissom3674]

I can’t speak for all ub but as a straight running shoe my 4.0s were decent but I did almost mess my ankle up in them. I do appreciate the 19 a lot more as a running shoe and think it was a great runner.

[@neolawliet]

Although the Ultraboost 20 has hardly changed, it does have some nicer colourways. I guess patience is the key in saving some money.

[@Dashitishere22]

Mrs. Nightwing should try some more midfoot oriented shoes with a smaller heel to toe drop like the hoka one one Rincon since it seems like it'd fit her running style much better

[@smilebeloved3702]

Awesome review, thanks now I know which ultra boost to buy and save a few bucks too.

[@patrickyang6773]

I’m a runner but the 19s are better running shoes than the 3.0 and 4.0s that I also own but are literally smashed out of the park by the Pegasus turbos. I don’t personally own the Pegasus turbo 2s but the 1s are absolutely my favorite trainer.

[@koalaluv6894]

this is the shoe channel 👌 chris has a smooth voice

[@fishinthejar]

I'd go for the 20 since i like the look of the padding around the angle area, it feels more casual. Obviously I'm talking from a non-runner perspective, just ot be clear.

[@3.14name]

O bought the pair from last year and for casual streetwear are amazing, i bought the 20 model too.

[@VitaminD8000]

In my mind UB20 is somewhere between peformance running and casual. For some more casual runners, who feel like they need more cushion it's an ideal shoe. On the other hand, Athletes on a higer level never run in UB.

[@jasonn4798]

I'm a super ultraboost collector and the new 20s the neoprene in the back is not as fit and tight in the heel. And second Theres a way bigger toe cap than the last one which feels great actually and the knit is far more premium than the last ones.

[@majin88]

I might be the only runner that loves new sensations for my feet haha. I do hate when they totally discontinue shoes, though. I loved the Zoom Odyssey, but Nike is moving away from traditional stability (understandably). But I agree with Mrs. Wing. I actually kind of think every shoe should just be named for the year it came out, like the Air Max.

My understanding is the drop on the 20's is slightly less than the 19's (after feedback wax poor) Have always had Ultraboosts and have run marathons in them. Went to the 19's with excitement but gave up on them. Shocking shoe to run in - the drop is too high, it's way too heavy and it lost that cloud like cushioning. Assume the 20's are pretty much the same...
