Meh. The NDC glamor shots of the Asphalts look much better than the real thing. Keeping my plats.

Yup. Plays still the cleanest CW. And I think it'll stay that way. Got my OG pair yesterday and I still like throats more.

Hmm, they are really two different feelings. I have a pair of LunarEpic Lows, the VaporMax's sole/air bags provides support that is the whole foot through more targeted cushioning around the outsides and different points of impact while the LunarEpic has the support delivered through a solid dispersion of the lunarlon foam through/under your whole foot. As with any shoe compared to the VaporMax, you will definitely feel where there is something directly under your foot as to win the VaporMax, you may get an empty feeling in the areas where there's no air bag under your foot. That's not to say that there's any support there, it's just even dispersed throughout. With regards to bounce, I'd say it depends on your running style as to which you might find more responsive, the VaporMax will feel more bouncy and responsive but heel striking for me seemed to hurt a tad and can change quickly depend on how you hit the airbags with your stride or step even when simply walking. The LunarEpic is just as responsive but seems like one for a more stabled out ride with consistency if that makes sense. Hope this helps and makes sense. Best way to know would be to give them a try.

Tried them on in person in london, CW is nice but was not so nice to me that I need to cop right now. Want to try the asphalts on in person too before deciding, but i like that they're more grey rather than light grey.

Thanks. Mine has been "in process" since last Sunday. They tell me it's because they are waiting on stock to arrive.

Maybe not the best idea to jump in with both feet.
Did a 10 miles over 10 hours walking shift.
The first 2 hours you are very aware of the feel being different. Like cleats on pavement. The pitter-patter of the soles on the floor.
Last hour before the mid-point break feet were feeling the burn.
The 25 min of rest.
The 2nd half I had no discomfort to start and was feeling pep in my step but then the steps added up and I was feeling sore again.
It is recommended to swap shoes even it they are close to the same as unnoticeable tiny issues with perfectly fine shoes can add up over repeated days and miles. Better to have the feet and leg physiology asked to accept variance.
So not surprising switching up to these radically different shoes for 12 hours put stress on my feet.
What I did notice most was when crouching and putting all your weight on the front half of the feet. These work better than traditional shoes. You still have solid cushion under you when in this position.

That feel when rainy weather kicks in for tomorrow and Friday, and there's no Shield version of this shoe 
On a better note...

That's the nicest CW I've seen so far, wonder how they actually look versus promo shots

This was at a Footlocker in the Westfield San Francisco mall. The shoes are for sale but the store only received them in women's sizes.

Yea on the fence about the asphalts. A darker sole would make them much more appealing. May wait for the next dark cw that releases.

Those pics made the asphalts look better, but the pure platinums are a piece of art in person. I did a total 180 on them when I saw them in person.
Thought they were a white

Congrats to all those who came up on the triple blacks. I struck out on those, but these should fill the void as I continue my search.
