You're probably referring to the HTM Flyknit Frees--I agree, way better. The sock-like ones with the "pixelated" wave design are marsupialed.
Yeah you're right.



I guess I can't always have it my way, but I've been pretty disappointed by the final releases of the hyped up flyknits from an aesthetic stand point. Let's be frank, we buy these because they are pretty. IMHO trainers have too much pink, the lunars look dark enough to match my persian carpet, and the frees just look like socks /endrant

Dude there is Nate Robinson an avid sneaker head with a huge collection of Js. He actually wore a pair of Yeezy IIs in a bulls game last season.
yeah, those are the ones. they're about twice as long as the ones pictured on the guy on the field. they came with every colorway that was pre-ordered before a certain time and arrived on the friday before the official release date, hence the "happy flyknit friday" card. i ordered a pair shortly after i received the pair with the card and socks, and none of the extras were included, not even the free flyknit tag

I believe those are the socks that came with the shoe that was pre-ordered from NDC. Regis got one with his order, maybe he could confirm it?

Almost certain those aren't the ones that came with Nikes I saw these same volt green socks at Marshall's there Nike Elite support socks for running, they make them for basketball as well.

I am almost 100% sure it is the socks that came with the shoes, seeing a few who pre-ordered from NDC get it.

From the guy who owns that pic:

Socks were free. Don't know if all the images came out good enough to show the one label that said happy flyknit Friday . They are some long *** socks though

And yep ordered from NDC. When the tweet dropped that 1st day I popped the preorder then. Expected delivery at that time was like aug 5


Another pic from a different person that got the free socks as well.

That's the back view of the socks though what you see in the picture is front, the color looks much more solid it'd look lighter in the light if it was the same design.

I am not sure if you are arguing if this is the one Nate Robinson is wearing and I was just guessing on that one.

I am arguing whether that is the socks that came with the shoes, which I am now 100% sure it is.

Heeeeey, I just got the same pair today. Really loving the way these feel. fit is a lot better than my lunar montreals. This colorway also looks really nice IRL for those thinking about copping.

my posts must have been missed or glanced over, but let me clear up the situation about the socks. the socks nate robinson is wearing are not the socks that came with the free flyknit pre-orders that were delivered early. the two pictures rfx posted with the socks are the socks that came with the pre-orders. here are some pictures of my pair that came with the pre-order the friday before the official release date if it's still unclear, somehow.
