Nike Zoom Vaporfly Elite 2017

I am the only that's actually looking forward to running in these? I've been waiting for Nike to make a Hoka like shoe for 3 years. The cushioning plus a 10mm drop will be heavenly!
 
I need a new pair of running shoes, so I figured why not try for Nike's latest release.

Well, not the NikeLab pair, that's for sure. I am, however, looking to try out one of these two shoes (either the Vaporfly or the Zoom Fly) I am not as confident about running in Lunarlon shoes, but then the carbon fiber plate might help. The VaporFly would be great if I actually ran long distances on a regular, and that thing is $250, too... My only main concern is the way I strike when I land. I have to readjust from landing heel/midfoot to landing in forefoot and keep my form in a position where it favors the way the shoe is built.

Maybe it's just me though, but usually anything Lunarlon with not-so-great knees is a bad idea. I am willing to try one run... just not that confident. Few people here know that I have been running in the VaporMax, and those are supporting me well.

I'm in the US. Never won an END raffle before too, so it was pretty surprising.
 
Couldnt check out on DSM before solelinks tweet. DSM was slow.
 
Copped off dsm. Site was moving so slow didn't think I was going to be able to check out. 150 shipped
 
^ ^ ^
some sizes are soldout when you try and add it to cart
 
Is there a huge difference in comfort from the regular Vapor Fly vs 4%?

I've only tried the 4% and it was unlike any other shoe I've worn. But I wouldn't necessarily say that its great differentiator is comfort. It just felt like I was being propelled forward.
