went to my local Nike store again today after work and found these sitting on top of some sorry a*s furniture. for whatever reason these weren't displayed on the typical hot rack for new launches, I haven't got any clue. funny I didn't noticed these yesterday considering the employee mentioned they had them in-stock for 3 days now. it's either I have gone blind or someone kept them in storage and hope that they won't get noticed or put them out and displayed them in a lowkey area. but my eyes were like sonar today and was homing on whatever there is out there.
first thing, not my favorite colorway but somehow managed to grow on me almost immediately. took some time to calm myself and compare these to the black pair pics which I really prefer to finally decide and say these are just too hot to pass on. in the end, it's those hot red contrast (swoosh and lateral outrigger) outline made these standout in a great way.
cushion first impression was instantaneous like it felt different, bouncy and comfy. it has quite some Nike 1 Zoom CMFT vibe to it but more responsive. materials is great and for a non-signature shoe would embarrass a certain disappointing signature shoe and made that one looke headed for the bargain bin. great logo as well and it could have been a Zion. cant wait to play with these once all the gyms open up. I feel like, these would have been the next iteration of Kobes' only if Kobe didn't die.
