Buy these elsewhere if you can. They've cancelled my order twice now because of inventory issues or whatever. The second time, I called and they said they had them actually. Then, I got another email saying they're delayed indefinitely. I called to cancel it because **** them and they won't let me because of some bullshit the rep clearly made up.

So now, I have to wait for them to ship and then return them and buy them elsewhere.

I'm digging all three of those. The white/black would look a lot better though if the toe portion was all white like the rest of the upper, IMO.

The summer racers had a release date set for 07/13. I don't know why it's no longer on the front page of the FK thread especially since no one has said otherwise.

How do the flyknits run? I'm normally a 9.5 in most Nike/Addidas should I go with that? I always buy insoles.



I take my normal Nike size in FK lunars


I'm an 11 in Nike Free Run+ (the ones from three years ago) and 11.5 in Free Run 3 and 5.0+Breathe. I tried on the FK Lunar 1+ at Finish Line yesterday (they didn't have any Trainers), and with regular athletic ankle socks on, the 11s definitely felt too small; my toes were all the way at the end, and the shoes appeared visibly strained in width when looking down on them. The 11.5s were a much better fit, so that's what I ordered in the FK Trainers. Hope they work out!

if you go to running warehouse you can go to any of the flyknits and then click "show me how it fits" and compare to a previous owned nike/any brand running shoe. i've found it to be a pretty useful tool

those FK chukkas....they are pretty much just for casual wear, right? I can't imagine what athletic activity you could use them with

Yah, I can't imagine it being any better than the trainers or one+.


And NYI on a Nike buying spree. APC Dunks, right?

Just tried it out. Good idea in theory, but poor results for me. I plugged in my size for three different styles of Nike Free that fit me well, and each time it suggested a different size for FK Trainers: 11.5, 12, 10.5. Lol, not very helpful.
