Haven't really seen these on sale anywhere.
They're the latest Ultraboost, just waterproof.

I was able to get Men's in size 12.5 by checking periodically, just saw 11.5 but are sold out again.

The colors are a bit different on the women's, but this is a pretty good review.

For anyone not familiar with these, there completely waterproof. The Gortex coating covers the outside.

Look around online, you won't see these on sale really anywhere.

That video review was horrid. I am asian, and I run, that asian dude clearly doesnt look like he runs, he sprinkled some water on the shoes. None of the videos he shoots looks like he moves much, he a Lululemon athleisure youtube variant.

Anyways, these shoes look horrific in the brown, Ill stick to the Nike Gortex shoes for trail/water running (and I do have normal Ultraboost running shoes).

I wouldn't run in ultra boost period. My only running shoe is the Glycerine.

I like the gtx boosts for wearing around the city in the winter. Light enough to wear indoors but water resistant enough to keep a little snow and rain out.

personally even if you just walk in these it may not be as comfortable as you expect since its midsole is quite thick and therefore unstable and surprisingly tiring.

I wear Ultraboost light and regular ultraboosts every day 5-10 miles. They breath really well during the warm months in Texas. Regular Ultraboosts are very cold during the winter here though. I bought a pair of the goretex winter rdy for winter walking/running and I can say they run VERY hot. It needs to below freezing in order to justify my feet sweating like hell in them. Keeping your feet dry is nice in theory but since the waterproofing kills the ventillation, it's a tough trade off.

More so than regular ultraboost light? I have a few pair of those for casual wearing.

Lol good to know. I'm going to be trying these out in chicago winters. Its like just enough snow and wet to hate regular shoes, but I'm hoping to get away with not wearing boots.
