Everywhere had been listing them as Vapors rather than Zoom Flys. Better anyway, they won’t cost a ridiculous amount to cop.

You mean they will cost slightly less ridiculous, this is off white after all!

 

[Antiwhippy]

The Zoom Fly SP is a hybrid of the Vaporfly 4%'s wrap support upper (instead of flywire) with the Zoom Fly's 'regular' Lunarlon sole and carbon-like plate (instead of the ZoomX sole and all carbon-fiber plate)?

Kinda tempted to use this Off-White version for actual running than for casual use lol...I love running with my Zoom Fly's, already put almost 200 miles in them since I got them when they first came out earlier this summer.

I mean.

Wear them out in a year by running.

Or.

Sell them at 5x resale to all the hypebeasts out there.

I dont understand why they have a 3 day presale when they will probably sellout as fast as their workers can check people out.

Gives their staff extra time to backdoor more pairs ofc

 

[Antiwhippy]

Better than me. I have no idea how to actually get them here in Australia lol.

Anyone got the inikis? I enjoy the silhouette more than the nmd but I was wondering how the boost is vs the nmd. If anything I imagine it's practically the same amount of boost.
Also the sns x adidas eqt look very nice, esp the blue. I swear the eqt ultra pk is even more comfy than ub's

Inikis are much more comfier than the NMDs, particularly over the R2s as the rear plug can dig into your arch/heel (which it does in my case).

Out of the Boost shoes I own, I'd personally rank them as: UB > Iniki > NMD R1 > NMD R2

The heels are kind of weird/floppy so check those out.

you think i'm gonna have a hard time trying to cop the flyknit trainers tomorrow fam?

Nope. I think they'll be a relatively easy cop if you are on it come release time.

It's by appointment, bit like the Mars Yards were. They'll know how many pairs they have and will book appointments to suit the numbers.

Omfg at those initial prices. If i ever make out the store with one, im going to get stabbed. And honestly i eouldnt even know how to sell it, i wouldnt send it into stockx for nothing.

Had no idea it was by appt, do you know how to book one?

 

[Zeke]

I don't know where else to ask this but I figured this would be the best place. I have a pair of kobe mamba instincts but the insoles kill me. To be clear the one on the left is the problem. It makes the shoe way too tight around my toes. I bought a cheap pair of insoles and it feels much better but I was wondering if there are some quality insoles anyone could recommend.

You can register your interest here.

They're getting an online release in November though, and seems like a fair few stores will get them. END, FootPatrol and Overkill have already confirmed they are getting them.

Oh wow, i was looking at that site all day yesterday and i had no idea the notify me button was actually the get on the waiting list button.

I literally work 5minutes from the location. Will ask my boss to take a half day if im choosen.

 

[panthapanda]

Idk if I missed a restock or not. There was a notice on my phone for the Nike+ app saying I unlocked special access to select styles.

Any one else?

 

[suplex]

Yea I got it too, nothing too crazy all I remember was the dunk from above 4 which is an underrated shoe.

 

[see5harp]

The heels are kind of weird/floppy so check those out.

I agree with this. Unlike many mesh NMD's, I think you can actually size half size down with the Inikis. The floppy heel doesn't bother me much since I essentially wear them as shit kickers.

 

[OG Kush]

Anyone here have experience dyeing trainers? Specifically looking at the flyknit trainer. Would really like a dark grey flyknit trainer and while the leaked pics of the dark olive made it out look very grey, other pics show it to still have an olive shade.

My main concern is whether dyeing it will get rid of the Nike tick logo, but that is printed on so not sure how it will work?

Thanks! Floppy as in fat with boost or your heel area just feels weird? Also how're the sizing? TTS like ub or down for nmd?

Due to the shoe basically being like a single mesh bootie with Boost attached to the bottom, if your heel isn't snug against the mesh, the heel area kinda flops a bit. It's a slightly weird feeling due to how minimal the shoe itself is but you get used to it.

I went TTS and due to the shoe materials, there's a lot of give particularly on the sides.

That said, it's very breathable for wearing sockless, but even with socks it's still quite comfortable.

I agree with this except I would put EQT > UB

Just did a quick search and one person recommended using Angelus Leather Dye. Just make sure you tape up the sole properly, because the dye won't come out.

Also saw a video on YT of someone dyeing a pair of Mariahs and it seemed to work perfectly fine. The swoosh should remain the same if it's black to begin with.

I prefer them TTS. I like a bit more wiggle room in my shoes.

[see5harp]

To me it's because there's no rigid heel cup in the iniki just that thin strip of leather that sorta is supposed to hold your heel in but it's really loose and the sides of iniki is super thin mesh. If you get the all red, the suede bleeds like crazy.

 

[FallingEdge]

it is such a crapshoot lol

I always go tts and it works for me.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Haven't bought any EQTs, thus I couldn't vouch for how comfortable they are. That said, one day I'll be able to get a pair.

The hypebeast got to me. Will try to cop the Pale Grey ones next week.

 

[GamePnoy74]

Looks like the white/black FlyKnit Trainers sold out with the quickness. Surprising.

Maybe Nike testing out the waters with them.

Spoiler

..then like all other recent retros flood the market soon after and eventually can cop on clearance with additional 20% off

 

[shira]

Are you buying them because of kanye or because they are actual good shoes?

Way too expensive in Canada. Might as well get a premium shoe

I dont know if they are actually good shoes tbh

But i really dig the color and pattern, and the silhouette. The only thing i dont like is how the midsole looks, and the price seems too high for what the shoes is. But the things i do like about it, i really like.

And i dont care for Kanye at all. I wanted to wait for a sale, but with them selling out in minutes it may be another 2 years before that will happen.

Edit: also i wanted a grey pair of sneakers. I was going to buy the triple grey ultraboost releasing next week, but then i saw the real life photos today and thought the color looked hideous. Nothing like the stock photo. You be the judge. The 1st is RL, the 2nd is stock photo.

Somewhat unrelated, but why are Nike Sportswear Tech Knit sweats $190????

Nike shit is so absurdly expensive now and it's not helping that Adidas is on the come up.

It's why they're stagnant / in the semi-shitter currently.

I did for the heck of it. I dig the black pair. The other doesn't really do anything for me.

Also picked up a pair of these:

Where did you buy these? They are sick!

I mean, $190 for sweats. That's more than like 95%+ of all shoe models they have. Who would pay that much for non-designer sweats?

”Tech" clothing is all the rage now. Just put the word in front of any item and you can instantly charge 2-3 times more. Add on to the fact that the word is in front of the other hot word ”knit" and you can just forget about it.

There's such a heavy blue filter on the "rl" photo that it's certainly not going to be an accurate representation of the true color; you'd need to see 'em in person to really judge.

Yea i did notice that. But the fact that all 3 greys are such different shades and tones really bothered me as well.

I'll also see when people start doing reviews of them.

 

[uhnomoli]

Where did you buy these? They are sick!

They just showed up today, look even better in person. Way comfier than I expected. My first PK shoe too :s

I got mine from SNS, but they're up on END too. They're sitting so pretty easy to grab.

 

[shira]

I only wear primeknit wool sweaters now

Never thought the colourway looked good. The upper and boost clashed with no way to gradually ease into the lightness of the upper with the darkness of the boost. Looked like it might've been a bitch to outfit too.

I think I'll wait until September 15th when these colourways drop:

Assuming I can get them of course. The burgundy one looks so much better than the laughable ground beef colourway.

Adidas is doing phenomenal work with their EQT collabs.
