Man, watching you dissected boots and sneakers is always so fascinating to me. Breaking down every material. great video, keep up the amazing job!!!

[@danielendres1099]

In terms of the boost being softer or firmer, Adidas is known for producing mid soles at different densities for different applications. It just depends on how many of the pellets get compressed into the mold before they’re melted together. if you compare models of the Ultraboost from the last several years for example you’ll generally see the midsole get denser in the newer shoes. Just depends on how they want to balance durability against impact protection. This is pretty common with athletic shoes in general. Just because two different sneakers advertise the same foam doesn’t mean it’s going to perform the same in both. One might have been injection molded and the other compression molded. Another might have been injection molded but with more pressure and material leading to better durability and a firmer, more responsive feel.

[@punkfloyd]

They reel you in with the ultra boost 1.0 . i always thought the difference in squish has to do with how the boost is or isn't wrapped or encapsulated to the midsole and upper. Like how the ultra boost can expand laterally way more than the boost in a 350 or 700 since the boost isn't all caged up. But what you said makes total sense and is probably what is going on.

[@danielendres1099]

@@punkfloyd Right. some models do have the encapsulated midsole like with the Yeezys, and those do tend to have a more dense rubbery feel. Adidas did this with a lot of the first basketball shoes with boost to make it more laterally stable. With the 350v2 they feel so soft for 3 reasons in my opinion: huge amount of boost, the density of the boost (what I was saying above), and the flexibility of the rubber enclosing it (basically the enclosure is soft enough it doesn’t impede the foam’s ability to expand). The 700s have less boost, and the EVA midsole has less give than the thin rubber side walls on the 350. According to his test it’s denser too, but the construction of the shoe has more to do with it feeling firm I think. Basically it’s some of both. There’s a lot of things that sneaker companies can do to manipulate the way a midsole feels and performs.

[@punkfloyd]

[@Schraiber]

Your take on these being a meta dad shoe is is 100% how I feel about them. They've always appealed to me in a weird way and I came pretty close to getting a pair but I just don't think it'd work with my overall style at all. But there's just something about the design here that I absolutely love.

Thank you so much! Absolutely loving Yepril keep the heat coming 🔥🔥🔥

[@ReaprzArmy]

These are great videos. I own a pair of 350s and 700s, and while I agree that they are a bit overvalued on retail, I love the Ultraboost material and the design enough to justify the premium cost. Walking in the 350s feels like wearing a pair of socks while walking on clouds, especially after wearing boots during the work week. I appreciate the teardowns as I've always been curious on what's inside. The 700s are noticeably less soft than the 350s, and now I know why

[@edwinbeta2806]

Yeah, the Yeezys arent just about hype, there genuine appreciation for design and art here. It could be higher tier fashion if it werent for the materials but, at the same time, it would be stupid expensive it that were the case

[@lth_lch]

I used to really want wave runners when they originally released, but the amount they charge for these is way too much for something that isn't that much better constructed (if at all) than something like a NB 900 series shoe.

[@papazype]

realistically though, there’s a limit to how good a shoe needs to be material wise. you’re rarely gonna keep a shoe long enough to where having so many layers of support for every layer matters. these yeezys won’t break on you unless you’re doing construction in them. the price is for the hype and the name

Loving Yepril, so glad you did the 700s! I guess quality-wise it’s about what I expected, but I still love the shoe for its unique styling. Fun fact: They dropped the retail price on 700s to $240 last year, which is still expensive but much more fair. You’ll notice that rereleases of classic colorways like the original Wave Runner are still priced at $300, though.

To add to the fun fact, the 700s were originally priced at $340 when they released. At least for the wave runner and the mauve colorways.

Funny how you were comparing this to a dad shoe (like the NB 990v5)... as the designer of the Yezzy 700 (Steven Smith) used to work for New Balance back in the day. He is on record saying that when he got the chance to design the 700s he wanted to make something that would reflect what he would be doing if he was still at NB.

[@SteveNatto]

Comparing the boost on the 350 vs these is crazy! You should do some ultraboosts and compare those too. The ultraboost 22/21 at least appear to have A TON of boost while the earlier models like the 20/19s seem to have less. I'd love to see what some of those look like compared to these 350s and 700s

No pressure getting to it but would be nice to get your opinion of that on-foot. Either way look forward to checking out what else you put out, take care!

[@punkfloyd]

Crazy that heal lean must be why most people size up at least 1 full size, I went 1.5 size up and I'm glad I did otherwise those would be so uncomfortable on the back of your leg not to mention your toes 😭 they are a different boot for sure but after wearing them for a few days they seem to be made to be worn upsized and laces at least semi loose as the construction and fit keep it on your foot nice without relying too much on lace tension. Overall I'd say I like the soft suede and the 3m stripe but just very average in quality.
