Nike // FREE POWERLINES + \\

[cutthroat]

I finally saw a pair in person and tried them on. These are definitely comfy! They're a tad bit more comfy than the FR3s and similar to the FR2. One thing though, did these fit really small for anyone else? I tried on my true size, and I practically had no space in front of my toes. I wonder if the GMs are the same? They have different materials than the original set...

I own a pair and they are definitely tight length wise. I dont know if I would go a half size up because then they would be a little big. But for those of you who wear your FR2's really tight, go a half size up. I wear a 9.5 in FR2 and my powerlines are definitely a tad snug in 9.5, but Im hoping with a few wears they will stretch just enough.

I think they're just right length-wise (not tight, not big) and have plenty of room width-wise, so if your feet are wide (like myself) they'll fit perfectly. But everybody's feet are different, so go to a store and try them out.

Snapped some pics.







On feet...


I love this shoe. Very nice look and super comfortable...probably my favorite purchase of the year.

^^^I have the same color-way and they are definitely my favorite purchase this year as well. So under-rated. I am definitely going to try and get a second pair.

Been waiting for the olympic and gold medal colorways.
A shop in Chicago posted a picture of the gold medals in store, but they haven't responded to any inquiries about them yet...

And it begins... I hope they start popping up across the states soon as well.

I have ~15 FR2s, and they're all in my true size. I have ~ an index finger's width between my toes and the front of shoes in them. The Powerlines really surprised me with sizing.

that's the reason i returned my pair..they felt ok, but just a little snug. i'm sure they would've gotten better but i didn't want to risk anything, and i can't really size up because it's very hard to find a 12.5

so for now no powerlines for me

My local Finishline had 3 of the 4 original color-ways in the Powerlines. Looks like I need to get 2nd pairs.

olympic rings one is dope, like how the color strips fade..

Atmos Powerlines, diggin the stars.

Any news on the gold ones?

I'd like them w/o the stars.

These could be cool with the right colorways, they remind me of the Humara SC.

Still waiting on the GMs!

 

[illustrayt]

Where are they??!?!

 

[quktic]

^ I couldn't wait, I ordered them overseas.~

 

[illustrayt]

DOPE! I'm looking forward to a pick-up post.

-edit-
What was the grand total?

 

[quktic]

Hopefully, I get them late this week or next Monday at the latest.

I'm surprised Nike didn't give the Powerlines more screen time during the Olympics. I saw some people wearing them.~

Still waiting on the GMs!
