you cracked me up because both of my parents are dentists!Originally Posted by ILLustRAYt
They are!
Just ordered my iDs. I wasn't 100% on the Swoosh color, so I just went with both designs. One will go back though...

ILLY,
Is this colorway an ID or a general release? They're clean!
saw them this weekend but didn't buy yet but when I picked them up it felt so light. How is cushioning on these?Originally Posted by jecca650
Picked up a pair of these today. Only wore them for about 20min, but judging from that wear these are by far the most comfortable shoes I own.
Excellent review, Ray. I gave these a test spin tonight myself...Originally Posted by ILLustRAYt
Brief Review: Try-On
LG4s are significantly more comfier than the LG3s. This may indicative of the addition of the density Lunarlon midsole, which has a combo of Firm foam (lower) and Soft foam (upper). The LG3 had both, but it had less Soft foam, which was encaved in the midsole. This year's LG has both foams, and they're both visible. LG4s are also an ounce lighter than the 3s. Of all the LGs, these are without a doubt the most comfy.
Regarding the fit, I found the LG4 to be slightly snugger but still very comfy. It could be due to the Dynamic FW. As for the materials, the dual layered skin with the FlyKnit-esque exo-mesh and inner meshed sleeve feels levels better than the LG3. After the trying on the 4s, the LG3s feel clunky. Again, for fit, LG4 > LG3. In fact, LG4s have the best fit of the series.
I've never run in the LG3s, so I really don't know how they perform. Plus, I've been running exclusively in the LunarEclipses for about six months now (almost at 1,000mi). However, simply taking a step in the LG4s honestly makes me WANT TO RUN (!), which is something I didn't feel from the LG3. I think I've found myself a worthy replacement when I decide to retire my LEs.
THE ONLY DOWNFALL to the LG4 is the overall design. The density midsole looks awesome, but the upper looks mediocre to me. I'm sure there'll be some decent cws that'll can compensate (I.E. Premiums, Tonal Volts, Tonal Total Oranges, etc.). Another thing that bothers me is the slightly exposed Dynamic FW, especially in a contrasting color. However, they don't bother as much as the Dynamic Fit pieces on the FR3s. Fortunately they can be tucked in and hidden and still serve the same function. With all that said, the LG3 still holds the title of "The Best Looking LG".
All in all, the LG series has significantly improved each year, especially in the areas of comfort and fit. After the LG3, I was really excited to see what Nike had planned for the 4s. Upon first SIGHT of the shoe, I was deeply disappointed. Disappointed enough that I wouldn't even purchase ONE pair. Now, that I've tried them on, I've had a change of heart. Though they grew on me, I still don't see myself owning more than two-three pairs max (including iD). This year's LG seems to be more geared towards performance and comfort, which is a good thing as a runner.
For the LG5, I'd like to SEE the expected yearly improvements in fit, comfort, performance, and, especially, AESTHETICS! I put a lot of weight on how a shoe LOOKS when I decide to purchase.
It definitely has the best color blocking. Love the blue liner and midsole combo. I saw them in person at DSG. They looked great, just don't know if I'd actually wear that color combo often enough to justify the purchaseOriginally Posted by thapointguy
The Midnight Nay/Blue Glow is the best colorway imo. I'm gonna have to get that one soon. More pics of those please!
