@Fail Zero, no, BASF did not make boost for your bmw, your bmw does not have boost on the dash. I have worked on cars my entire life, I have worked on BMW’s, we have replaced multiple dashes, most cars have a type of foam yes (older cars do not, in fact they are hard as a rock!), it’s thin and it is also an insulator, thus for it’s used as sound deadening. Both are closed cell insulators, but are very different, the R value on both are different, rubber and boost are not the same. Couldn’t find one thing on google about BMW putting boost in their cars... I believe puma and BASF started working together in 2009, sooo boost is not in your damn car dude.

Important correction; the material for the Adidas boost pellets AND Puma NRG is *ETPU for both.* It's like if you had TPU as a liquid and made it foamy and then hardened it. That's ETPU. Adidas has BASF ETPU and Puma gets it from Huntsman Chemical.

Epic reacts are insanely durable... you can easily run 500-1000 Miles in one pair. They're lighter than all the others and therefore a serious alternative for competitive running

08:14 They are quite comfortable because of the memory foam insert, but that insert disintegrates over time The quality of Skecher shoes are mostly garbage, but a lot of legitimate athletes are signing up with their performance line though so not really sure if they're built better or the athletes just get new ones every use lol

Adidas boost is a meme on this channel now

Honestly though they are both completely different shoes in application. Reacts are way lighter and have firmer cushioning at 7.8 oz (size 9) while Ultraboosts are 11.5 oz and have softer cushioning. Reacts are better running shoes than UB due to how it is lighter and more responsive than UB. I still think UB are the comfiest and look better than Reacts but I would never run in them. 11.5 oz is heavy af..

The patent on boost has already expired more than a year ago which means any brand on the market can use the same TPU materials to make boost like soles without any legal issues.

I know Hes mentioned it in the Epic React video he made tho glad you pointed it out. I got the Nike Plus Exclusive colorway coming in tomorrow cant wait to run in them I have run in all kinds of Boost and Nike stuff and eventually I abandoned Boost as my running shoes to go back to the Nike Lunar EPIC 2.

Hi Hes, Great to see you put the React on the list, but do you really not see the similarities between UB and React, like you say? They both have: 1) Plastic heel cage till halfway up, both with branding on it, 2) a midsole that sticks way out of the upper at the back end 3) overall shape of the upper from tongue to the end of the toebox 4) one piece of Flyknit upper, one piece of foam sole 5) similar midsole shape from lateral side 6) no lace cage or real eyelid parts, similar to the UB uncaged 7) both midsoles have bubbly appearance 8) it is exactly marketed with the same purposes as UB, that is a running / lifestyle shoe 9) a midsole that has similar cloudy cushioning feel in contrast to all past Nike products which had more of that 'air' cushioning feel.

i've heard that brooks' dna amp feels kinda dead and heavy because of the tpu casing around the midsole. they were focusing solely on energy return (as opposed to cushion), which caused them to try to keep the midsole from compressing by encasing it in solid tpu. also, there's another tpu midsole on the market. it's called Ego and is made by Altra which is a smaller running shoe brand. some of their shoes like the Escalante and Paradigm have this midsole which feels and functions very similarly to boost. also, both of those models have a knit upper, which makes it even better. definitely worth a try.

Imagine a Nike-Adidas collab.

Yes puma copied energy boost was 2013 and NRGY(puma) was 2014

Surprised that the BBBs aren’t a honorable mention

Puma made their boost like midsole first. Soooo you can't blame them.

anyone else just looking at optimus prime in the back?

I met the founder of BASF, such a nice humble guy

My favorite shoe I usually wear is the adidas iniki runners but recently I came across some puma nrgy retros and decided to pick them up and I gotta say it feels exactly like the boost I'm used to wearing.

So basically by including the react in here, you're saying that every comfortable foam technology that is not incased, is automatically a boost ripoff. Gtk

The only Ripoffs are the Fake Yeezys and the Skechers. Creating super soft but responsive cushioning is the ultimate goal of every running shoe.

ultraboost is also comfortable because it has that stretch web or that sole with holes so you can see the boost makes you feel the boost when you walk unlike some shoes they have that hard white sole under neath the insole

You should check out the Karrimor Resolve and Karrimor Resolution. I would definitely put them in the top 5.

I have the brooks levitate and the shoe has very good cushion. Not quite boost, but still very comfortable and the insole in the levitate is super thick and I think it's PU but I'm not too sure

You should Try wearing the Asics gel nimbus 21 those are one of the most comfortable running shoes Ive worn

good vid......but for me, the best TPU midsole so far is the AltraEgo in the Altra Escalantes. I would like to try on a pair of Everruns though.

asics' hypergel is similar to boost but with a few coloured gel pellets in the mix

Searched this up yesterday wondering where it was and when it was going to release.

Puma's version looked like those fake boost.

I own a pair of brooks levitate and they are just as good if not better than boost for running. They are very light and responsive, I have ran cross country and track in them and I don’t see myself wearing any other tech. I would look into the brooks ricochet because it combines ghost and levitate midsoles.

Fresh Foam is nothing like Boost, I mean a cushioning system is just a must have for athletic shoe companies

My mom has some puma sneakers that have actually some kind of boost as a mid-sole. It looks exactly the same but its a lot harder

I have ultra boosts, and I also have epic reacts. They both feel about the same when you get them, but the Nike cushion wears off in about three weeks. My ultra boosts still feel Brand New.

Boost isn't tpu, it's etpu, just like you said puma was, tpu is what they use as a stability rail on shoes in the solar series

Boost looks different on legit Yeezy V2's than other boost models like Ultra boosts or NMD's. Those replicas were pretty on point.

Unpopular statement: Nike react flyknit>Boost

Fila is also making a ripoff boost model, not to mention they're making a ripoff of ultra boost & UB uncaged as well

Schetchers market towards old people who are cheap and think "wHy Do i NeEd to PaY mOrE tHAn $60 oN a sHoE?" because grandma, it's actually has quality and lasts longer...

how comfortable are those fake yeezys? only shoe you didn't mention the comfort level compared to real boost. Thanks!

boost tech doesn't feel as light and and as comfortable as their own cloudfoam...i tried both side by side...so why you say that boost is the best? from what kinda variable that you can say that it's the best cushioning? best selling shoe tech, yes... but i think it's because its on those shoes that are popular right now...but the most comfy? I don't think so...the most light? i guess not...

so because nike is branding how react is an energy returning foam, they’re copying adidas?

You're a sucker for boost foam huh? Lol Ive tried Alphabounce and tbh I prefer that way more than boost

So we're going to ignore that Boost was made in response to Lunarlon? Adidas also ripped off flyknit and wire technology.

I disagree with all of these. I don't like how you are saying they copied Adidas. Most of the designs are completely different

Puma has another new shoe that looks even more like ultra boost and they are like $40. I’ve seen somebody act like they are legit ultra boost.

The best E-TPU out there is Altra Ego. Much more energy return than Boost, IMO.
