obviously my guyHope y’all doing cold water lol
Mannnnnnn my black/gray pair that I bought from ****'s on launch day started popping Saturday. I thought I was in the clear by now. The popping was obviously noticeable while my wife and I were walking around and I could feel the bubble grow with each step in the area between the base of my toes and the balls of my feet.
Not sure I'd be able to reach that area to perform de-popping surgery.
Is that where you other pop victims feel it?

I gradually disassembled and multilated my OG pair of Epics. When I got to the midsole/insole separation stage, I found a huge air bubble between the REACT foam midsole and fiber reinforced tape of the strobel board. About the diameter of a quarter and 5mm deep. It appears the foam midsole and strobel are different shapes, the foam wider and curving while the strobel is narrower and flat. No wonder these babies pop so loudly. The location was where reported on this thread: Geometric center of forefoot. I have found making a slit with an Exacto knife through the felt/fiber tape to release the trapped air as you walk works. Nike now puts more glue there and presses them together better while the glue sets. In the Odyssey version they perforated the bedding to prevent trapped air.

did you get the process on video?
F Four by Six are you a surgeon? Good stuff
No, just an engineer and sneaker head. I was removing the flyknit upper to try and glue it onto a PEBAX (ZoomX) foam midsole from a Reebok shoe I got on closeout, as Nike will probably never make this. All I want is a FNR (Flyknit Racer) with ZoomX (PEBAX) instead of Phylon insole, and they keep putting in Zoom air units, carbon fiber and TPU plates, see through rubber outsoles and other gimmicks.
NIKE! If you are listening, just give me a flyknit upper and a ZoomX foam midsole.
Not yet... the upper and midsole are too different in shape to work right. I'm trying to find a different donor shoe for the midsole. If I get it to work, I'll start a new thread with pics.Woah. Do you have pics of that hybrid?
