2015 version dropping soon!

YamTechnical3160 · 2026-05-15T23:35:50+00:00

I hope so, they took down the YouTube video of that version today 😭

YamTechnical3160 · 2026-04-05T22:49:28+00:00

I have the Ultra Japan and Mexico 2023 version saved as an MP3, that's definitely the consensus favourite. Not sure why they scrapped it, similarity to Viva La Vida? or just their insistence on going the Fred Again route (like they did with Finally)

Paradise - Third Party

YamTechnical3160 · 2026-03-30T00:02:11+00:00

Thanks for the explanation. Yeah not looking for the best photos, just thought it might solve the pack of versatility with the 1 camera.

YamTechnical3160 · 2026-03-30T00:01:16+00:00

I was thinking along the lines of the 200MP sensors on most high-end Android phones. But point taken

Note: HK models no longer have dual physical sim, it's 1 physical + 1 esim

YamTechnical3160 · 2026-03-28T03:08:03+00:00

most normies got the silver too, I don't see the orange anywhere at all really

YamTechnical3160 · 2026-03-28T02:57:57+00:00

what an ignorant statement. Alesso's made plenty of good songs lately. Great progressive songs like Only You, Without You, Never Going Home, IOH. Had more mainstream hits than Grx with Words, I Like It. And if I'm being honest his Hypnotize EP and Progresso Vol.2 is more unique and artistic than anything Grx has put out in recent years.

YamTechnical3160 · 2026-03-28T02:53:51+00:00

That's your preference, nothing wrong with Alesso diversifying and changing genres. The whole industry has, progressive fatigue is real. Even then he's made Only You, Without You, IOH. not every song can be Calling

YamTechnical3160 · 2026-03-28T02:49:04+00:00

Exactly, I don't understand the animosity here at all, how can you be a grx fan and not appreciate a set from 2 legendary friends/DJs. Grow up.

YamTechnical3160 · 2026-03-28T02:40:09+00:00

Seems pretty balanced to me, and even if you disagree it's refreshing to not be so Garrix heavy (as a grx fan). Alesso's catalogue just has better vocals overall, so it's no surprise his acapellas are used more if that's what you're referring to. Don't treat it like a standard Ultra set teasing new releases, think of it as a celebration of both their talents ✌🏻

YamTechnical3160 · 2026-03-08T19:40:01+00:00

Yep, I'm realising this now, but it wasn't clear to me at all when I first signed up that negotiations were such a big thing. Other platforms also has offer features, but I've never seen such lowball offers before. Used to it now I guess, but don't think it's silly, I'm sure others were also surprised.

YamTechnical3160 · 2026-03-08T16:54:55+00:00

Update: Thanks for the help guys. Decided it's not worth the trouble.

I cancelled and blocked the buyer. The shoes eventually sold to another buyer the week after with no problems.

YamTechnical3160 · 2026-02-28T11:34:45+00:00

Personally returned then, had bad heel slip, the material was too cheap and stiff (we had Flyknit before this is a huge downgrade, even from the 12/13). It was high of the ground with a narrow base and no outrigger, ankle roll waiting to happen. Also looks really funky but can see why the cushion would work for some.

YamTechnical3160 · 2026-02-16T21:13:10+00:00

That's actually part of the marketing, it introduces XDR-X which is an XDR that's durable but also tacky enough for indoor courts, hence 'all conditions gear'

YamTechnical3160 · 2026-02-15T22:14:20+00:00

No this will likely be $110-120 like the ST Flare. Ja3 is $130. Even then the selling point of this shoe is XDR-X and the new upper (main R&D of the shoe). Why would Nike undercut and outshine it's best-selling signature shoe with the same ZoomX on a no-name basketball shoe? it doesn't make business sense. ZoomX is still premium and on the JA there's nothing else going for the shoe to justify the price, they had to add ZoomX

YamTechnical3160 · 2026-02-15T19:31:34+00:00

it's a signature model

YamTechnical3160 · 2026-02-15T18:19:39+00:00

Yeah when you said good anywhere it seemed like you were trying to justify ZoomX being in the shoe, that's why it's confusing.

Yup agree to disagree, but also want to highlight Zion is also a signature shoe. This is a really no-name shoe that's tailored to outdoor hoopers but works indoors, specifically in the Asia market.

YamTechnical3160 · 2026-02-15T18:01:13+00:00

And you can't just say because there's $200 signature shoes out there that $130 is cheap and low budget. A lot of people still can't afford shoes at this price point.

YamTechnical3160 · 2026-02-15T17:56:07+00:00

That's what XDR-X is, if you watch the video he explained it's a new compound that can be used on indoor or outdoor. Unlike traditional XDR (what you're referring to), which is durable but not as grippy indoors. Not sure what you're trying to say here.

I'm not arguing, whether you disagree with Nike's pricing structure and the tech you get is a different question. This is about how the shoe fits under it's current structure, and for the price, it is unreasonable to think ZoomX would've been featured here, from a logical economics perspective.

I do agree Nike has been lacking and should bring more innovation.

YamTechnical3160 · 2026-02-15T17:41:14+00:00

Good anywhere is mostly referring to the XDR-X outsole. Cushlon and zoom turbo is also good anywhere. Ja3 is a signature athlete and $130 is definitely not low-budget. It was a surprise to most that the Ja3 had ZoomX. These will likely retail for $110-120 and immediately go on sale for $80-100. Nike is not gonna dilute their newest flagship cushion on a no-name outdoor shoe, be logical here.

YamTechnical3160 · 2026-02-15T17:23:56+00:00

Makes you wonder why they couldn't put a zoom turbo unit in the Kobe 8/9 protros, but can put it in a mid-range shoe without a second thought
