Anybody get their hands on the Adidas Ultraboost X 007 trainers/sneakers?
They look pretty stylish. See here for more:

"Keeping British end up, sir." - RM "This never happened to the other fellow." - JL "I must be dreaming." SC
but not to sure about that model the only cool part about that model above is the 007 logo carbon behind the shoe haha
Agree. I do like the trainers but I think they would have been better branding them by association along the lines of 'Commander'. 'James' 'NTTD' The 007 and application looks tacky IMO. A really cheap effort. An official sewn in patch or sewn in lettering in the tongue or somewhere would have been better and would give more of an exclusive special limited edition feel. I guess that would have been too much expense and effort to mass produce.
Forgive me if I've missed it but I'm assuming the gun portion isn't shown due to obvious connotations?
I think actually they might be more attractive to the non-Bond super freaks. The experts here know that it has nothing to do with the movie (at least as far as we know) and are questioning this (although still might get it for their collection of course), but the regular Adidas customer is probably a very casual Bond fan, sees a cool 007 logo and that's an extra incentive, perhaps like the 007 Fragrance.
DC himself usually wears cool Nike sneakers so that would have been more appropriate. If there turns out to be no connection with NTTD it's basically a 007 branded item, similar to the baseball caps, power banks, pens, travel mugs, backpacks etc on the 007 Store - pretty pointless, but hey, 007 logo is pretty cool :-)

You only live once, live like Bond!
it looks like there will be 3 models; white, black and grey. they are announced for 29th October for $200
have to admit that they look kind of cool, not a fan of 007 logos on the outside in generel but on a jogging shoe it doesn't bother me that much
5 models from the looks of it—all white (with a cool film titles insole); black/charcoal/a little red; grey/white; all black; and white/cream/grey (with a Spectre logo).
Wasn’t a fan of the black one we saw months ago but I actually don’t mind the others. How are the Ultra Boosts for running? I’ve always been an Asics guy.
JTM the Ultra Boost started out back in 2016 as a performance running model. It offers exceptional cushioning and breathability The comfort of the Boost midsole is still amongst the very best there is out there. However in 2020 the original Ultra boost model (the cream one) has been rebranded the "Ultra Boost DNA", and offered as more of a liftstyle model. Whereas the other models in this collaborationsn(Ultra Boost 20 and Ultra Boost "SUMMER.RDY") are geared more towards performance, with a denser Boost midsole, tighter knit upper, and wider fore-foot.
For me Ultra boost is a fantastic option for lifestyle everyday use. I wear mine all day with no fatigue. However some people find the Boost midsole to be too soft for all day wear, and have complaints of sore arch or archilles as they feel it lacks the support they need. Runners also complained that the Ultra Boost are too heavy for serious running, and not suitable for gym workout as the midsole is not stable enough, and the primeknit upper does not contain the foot adequately on lateral movements. They are also not too wide-foot friendly.
So I guess it really depend on how much cushioning you need for your run, and how long you will run in your shoes. For a normal/ narrow footer like myself I find them to be supremely comfortable for daily wear, but for running and gym workout I want something lighter and more stable. Currently I run in Adidas Adizero Boston 9 and Nike Pegasus Turbo.
hahaha I wouldn't run in those Jack Purcell OTR PERIOD. Those shoes have zero grip and next to no cushioning and support.
