Clean clean clean.Just picked up the EQT white mountaineering for FallingEdge, these shoes are NICE as hell. Tried them on in another size and the boost feels amazing.
I want to get one of the EQT's, maybe the first one that came out with the pink hits. The resell on them isn't too bad.

I'm waiting for an all black upper or a triple black. That'll look sweet.

Not necessarily a fan of the silhouette but I like what they've done with the swoosh here.

That looks great.I hope that 12.5 fits. I dunno what I will do if it doesn't lol.
I hope they fit!! Those would be extremely difficult to size swap.
Curious how they size as well. What is your tts?
I wear a 12.5 in Primeknit but a 13 in mesh and yeezy. I would think it would be a 13 in these also, for me. Toe box room is my #1 concern.
Hopefully since these aren't a collab they won't be stupid limited like the White Mountaineering version.I hope that 12.5 fits. I dunno what I will do if it doesn't lol.
I'd probably go 13. The toebox and some of the non-PK materials on it make it less roomy than like a PK NMD from what I've heard.

Im a size 11 and they had an 11.5 that I was able to try on and I was floating in them - they felt big. For reference, I even felt ok in a size 10 ultraboost when i removed the sole.
I didnt check but maybe they have a removable sole?
Did they make a size 13 cause even on GOAT the largest is 12.5.
I really hope they fit well dude.

I am a 13 and have a 13 in the EQT 93/17. There is room to size down for me, just don't know how comfy it will be. Gonna give it a shot for sure. If there is doubt, go TTS.

They'll sit. Idk why JB put those details in the white. Would've perfected regular smooth leather

The Vaporfly Elites are creating a bit of a controversy that is making the rounds in the all the tech blogs because there is a carbon fibre springboard in the Lunarlon core that might make them illegal to the IAAF and IOC if they give too much of a mechanical advantage.
The silhouette is streamlined and aerodynamic. Up to you if that is aesthetically pleasing.
Haven't seen any of the internal pics, but I'm assuming those carbon spring plates are something akin to blade runners and expensive af.
I hated it on the AJ6 Black Cat last year, but I love it on these Alternates.
And I hope you're right about these shoes sitting on shelves. I hope it's an easy cop and I'm able to wear these while out all day on Saturday.

I think in store should be no problem. Online will maybe sell out in a couple of days. I feel like everyone spent their tax dollars on the 8s
Same, but wouldn't mind owning a pair.
I've pretty much given up with Nike releases in the UK.
Struck out on the Air Max 95 Neons due to short supply on sizes over a 10, Air Max 97 Silver Bullet was impossible to find and the Air Max 1 OG Red sold out in seconds due to the ridiculous number of pairs they put out.
I was planning to try and grab a pair of Air Max 1 ATMOS Elephants but I don't think I'll waste my time.
Bought my first pair of Ultraboosts and they feel great.

They're being custom made to suit the runner's feet so probably.

Flyknit Racer hype is dead. Triple whites sitting on NDC.
People criticise Adidas for releasing new versions of the Ultra Boost but the Flyknit Racer shows why you need to update annually. Peeps crave the OG versions and it innovates a product that would go stale otherwise. Roshe has proven to be an exception to the rule, although it's probably because of the pricepoint and popularity of the shoe, it's just become a staple.

Just need to bring back the Flyknit Trainers and the hype would be back.
I might be breaking my "No More White Shoes" rule for these bad boys this weekend:
I'm.....I'm just a sucker for clean looking AJ6s. The hype seems to be low for these shoes. So it might be an easy cop on Saturday morning.
the 6s have one of the best silhouettes imo, too bad they keep dropping garbage colorways *cuddles varsity red 6s*

Man, those Nike Zoom Vaporfly elite looks dope, but looks fucking narrow as fuck like those flyknit....and Nike wonder why there running shoes aint selling as well as other companies...maybe cuz not everyone has fucking narrow feet

Well there's fashion "running" shoes and shoes designed/engineered to run in.
The best selling running shoes are mainly the coolest looking ones with an emphasis on comfort and durability +/- exclusivity.
The Vaporfly's actually make you run faster.

This uncaged ultraboost is fire. Every time I look at it im impressed - pics online dont do it justice.
I find it interesting how the sizing in ultraboost works - im a size 11, and this is a size 10 that i got for my bro for his upcoming bday. I have room in the toebox, but its just damn tight on the top of my foot - really hope it fits him (he's a size 10).

I thought the AJ6 Maroons were alright, but didn't care for the $220 price or all the white.
And yet, here I am seriously considering the AJ6 Alternates. I guess I just have to see the perforated leather for myself. i didn't like how it looked on the Black Cats.
Alternates are the best colorways since the AJ6 Red lows.

So do you guys put that Footlocker shoe protector spray on all your sneaks before wearing them out or just wear them as is?
I use it for my black suede shoes only.

Iniki finally showed up. A little narrower in the toe box but I don't think I'd .5 size up. Overall good value.

I certainly don't remember him wearing the same pair a lot during the episode, that's why I was remembering that particular scene. Just wasn't able to identify them.

Haha speaking of varsity red 6s, I still have the uppers on my pair that I took the sole off to swap with my NIke Air Infrared 6s since the soles are crumbling.
I still haven't even swapped them. They're just sitting here on display and now I have one varsity red 6 that I can't do anything with because it was a pain in the ass to get the sole off in the first place so I'm too lazy to do the other shoe.
It's the Gel Lyte Komachi

Just arrived home to these. They're definitely a looker and love the gum sole with the boost. I think they feel more comfy than NMDs but less than UBs.
I kinda want the red ones too now...

Those look damn nice! I really liked the red ones when I tried them on a few days back. I thought the grey would be my favorite, but the blue and red really pop.
Did you go true to size? I tried on a 1/2 size down and they felt too snug.

Thanks and went TTS for the Iniki.
As for any sites selling these, I think that resellers probably got them for the most part but if you're of the lucky few who have a shoe size that can fit a woman's size, you might possibly be able to try for the two colors available. Those mint Iniki look awesome.

Copped these Karhus this morning. First pair cause I still can't find the green pair from the Mount Saana pack in my size.

Any advice for a first timer launch shopper?
- is it like Ticketmaster and better to have like 4-5 devices open?
- is it better to go for your true size only?
- do the shoes just drop at the specified time or early/late?
- once you get to the payment screen can you relax or do you have to quickly checkout?
- at stores/online can you only buy one pair per address/credit card/device or can you buy like 2-3?
- what do you do after taking an L?
