For those of you who asked about fit:
I wear a size 12 in everything Nike generally, and I got a size 12. These fit slightly snugger than the Talaria in my opinion, more like a Air Max 97/98 fit, so I'd recommend sizing according to what you do in those shoes. Because of the design of the zoom...
Last summer I bought a lot of the more exclusive UK 95 Retros:
3M Neon UK 95's

people lined up for that $1200 "deal"'and they still had to pay $350 +tax on top... the $1200 was in store purchasing so you lucked out there if you had an eBay account or weren't the last guy in the store to end up with all the odd ball trash
