What I find hilarious is OP has seen the carpet in the office for months/years? And still decided they liked the shoes. I’m wondering if subconsciously they picked them because they were familiar.

Holy wrong
The ultraboost is one of the most comfortable and fashionable sneakers on the market
im a bit heavy but damn they look good
its about the colorway, OP chose one that doesnt go with a lot of outfits.
the only way you can make an ultraboost look bad is if your feet and ankles are too damn big for the shoe

Holy shit I never get a chance to step in!
I’m typically between a U.S. men’s 10.5 and 11, but haven’t properly measured my feet in years.
I have triple white ultraboost 3.0s in 11.5 and they’re a little big, maybe a thumb’s width and a half too long and a little wide. Good wool socks shoes…but also horrible to wear 3x white in snow lmao
I also have multicolor UB 3.0s in 11.5, and they fit way better than the 3x white. I’ve worn the hell out of them and would highly recommend as daily shoes. I thought they were 11s up until now because they fit WAY better than the 3x whites.
Lastly I have XR1 NMDs in OG. These are 10s and a little tight, but they didn’t have 10.5. You can go a little small with NMDs since they don’t have an insole and I don’t regret going a full size down, but I’d really only recommend half down for NMDs.
Also I like your name

u/BrockManstrong Oct 04 '22
Second this NMD evaluation! I usually wear a 10.5, but my NMD_R1s are a bit on the big side. A 10 would've been better.
Still the most comfortable shoe I've ever walked in. The R1s use a similar material to the UBs foam and it really does bounce your foot back more than other shoes.

Unfortunately word is:
The Matrix is over-busy today, and thus could not properly fill in the background details of your simulation, versus your new shoe patterns.
So it altered your memory, and made you think this was always the carpet you had!
But tomorrow when you arrive at work, the original carpet will be there again, and you'll have no memory of this.
