I know we all love our Ultraboosts but a lot of the recent colourways on sale have been garbage so this one is a nice relief.
A bunch of other styles are on sale also: https://www.footlocker.com.au/en/search?q=ultraboost&SearchP…

Why are these shoes so popular on OZB? Are they actually any good for running?
They give you an ultra boost when running.
So other then branding and marketing name nothing special.
@Melb69: The boost midsole is really comfortable and has good energy return.
The shoe has a nice silhouette and is popular if you're into the athleisure style.
Some runners really like the shoe, the usual complaint I think is that the knitted upper of the shoe can allow a little too much movement to make running comfortable.
@Melb69: Sounds like it based on the other replies yep. Still a saving compared to normal price - but you can just buy cheaper shoes if you're not sucked in by marketing and the need to fit in with the popular crowd.
@Melb69: Really depends on the individual. I bought a pair of these to try and found they suit my feet really well and have solved a back soreness problem I've had for a while. They are very comfortable, and the springiness of the midsole has made other athletic shoes I own feel jarring in comparison.
I run in them and also wear them casually, I like them that much.
It's worth trying on a pair next time you're near a sports shop just to feel what they're like.
Fashion, comfort. Haven't tested these for running personally as I pride them on looks alone
I have UB4 and 2 pairs of UB19s
UB19s are crap and the inner soles continually move inside the shoe, bend and are crap. But it's the design of the shoe causing this.
Overall 5/10 rating.
Is there a better shoe you'd personally recommend for anyone considering Ultraboosts?
@Sage: Try Nike Epic React
They are pretty decent for running although if you are into running seriously, you might want to consider other shoes. On the other hand, I think they look really nice so I can wear them in non-sport occasion.
Anything "Boost" is popular on OzB these days ;)
Not good for running but comfy everyday walking shoe
Heres a link sorted by cheapest: https://www.footlocker.com.au/en/search?q=ultraboost&SearchP… - Can get UB19 for 119.95 + Postage. Minimum spend for free shipping is $150.
There way too tight. I did got a size up since they don't have halves
Which ultraboost’s Are the best for running? By the sounds of it the 18’s are bad. I wish triple black colour went on sale

thanks for the heads-up, i nearly missed that!
Thanks OP - grabbed one. Been waiting for a decent deal on UB 4.0 since they are pretty rare now.
The UB'19 are same price too but I prefer the 4.0 model.
There is also a shipping cost for this $10, as it's not over $150. Shame.
$149.95 doesn't count as >$150 for free shipping :\
Core Black is a great 'everyday' colour
