Flyknit Chukka Thread

 
Random question, how do you guys find out when a site restocks? Are you actively searching for them or do you find them off twitter? I've been looking for a size 8/8.5 Wolf Grey/University Red pair or Squadron Blue Lunar flyknits and I can't seem to find them for a decent price anywhere.
University red was at Jersey Gardens for $119.99
 
Just received my Volt / Total Orange Free FK Chukkas today. Completely awesome colorway in hand - super happy looking. Actually made me smile spontaneously. Kind of reminds me of an orange julius. Strangely, the left shoe has a crease in the toe box. I'm going to try the iron+towel steaming method mentioned on the previous page. If anyone else has bought this same color way, I'd be curious to know whether you feel like the stitching is a different material than usual. When I compared it to the black / platinums and my night factors, the stitch threading definitely feels different. Kind of has a matte almost powdery feeling texture to it. BTW, bought these from FootAction, and they shipped the box in a big loose shipping bag, and the box is super-crushed on all the corners and the lid is only hanging on by half when you open it. Not great shipping at all.

Update: Clothes Iron on medium-high steam worked great. I had some really crazy hard creases all around the toe-box and they came right out. I stuffed the toe-box pretty solid with the paper stuffing, laid a small hand towel (terry type of material, it should not be thin or translucent) over the area I wanted to de-crease and I put the iron on it and went back and forth over the crease about 4 or 5 times, no longer than 5 seconds or so. I then lifted the towel to check on the crease. I repeated this process until the creasing relaxed. I think the key is - don't stay on one spot very long, repeat the step, but never overdo it on any given area without giving it a chance to cool down. And absolutely use a thick enough towel.

Late on the post, but i received my lunar pure platinums tuesday from www.consortium.co.uk/ said I would post pics when I got them. It took less then a week to get them in. Hope someone was able to secure the other pair when I posted it up.[ATTACHMENT=6960]1402446253848.jpg (2,866k. jpg file)[/ATTACHMENT]

Go down .5
 
Based on your personal expirience ? And is there a difference lunar to free version? Thx
 
Yeah the only two chukkas I have are size 9.. I'm scared on this 9.5 I might pick up. Have you ever steamed your flyknits?
 
I think by "early sample" WillMax means before the Lunar Chukkas started to release, not that the shoe he picked up will be releasing now.

It looks almost exactly like the Wolf Greys, just without the red swoosh.
 
Came in recently. Closest thing to a pair of Chukka lows/ neutral colorway HTMs as I can get.
Would have been nice if Nike made these in mens too
