They need to release some other colorways other than monochromatic, that is boring as hell. At least make the TPU structure on the side a different color than the rest of the shoe.
I usually don't like all black shoes but these just have that pop of color that makes em perfect. These are amazing bro.
Also, my Cloud Islands got returned BACK to Nike by UPS before I even got em. Pissed about that but what ya gonna do.
I would say $50 would be fair and that is pushing it still. I remember getting Kobe Dri-FIT basketball shorts for $35-$40 (which I still own, because they are super high quality) when he was still alive and Jumpman Shimmer shorts for $32. I understand inflation but its very obvious Nike knows...
Hilarious that they limit these to 300 pairs and only available at Flight Club New York, screwing over the exact fanbase that would want these and in Nike's own backyard. Tone deaf to say the least.
My pink Quartzs came in and I compared it to the OG III Orcas. The tongue is most definitely upgraded in thickness and comfort. But the whole "upgraded traction" thing is laughable. All they did was essentially "fill in" the rectangles on the Proto, kind of tough to see in the picture though.
TBH, I really thought the JP pack would sell out fast, with the amount of people who love the movies, not just shoe fans. I am glad to see FSR's pretty much everywhere so everyone can eat for once!
