For those of you who said not to run in the vapor street, if you can, give it a try. You'll definitely be surprised. I took them on a light run yesterday and they felt amazing. I did a 5k today in them and they held up real well. Personally I wouldn't do more than a half in them, but I'm already thinking of doubling up to run in my current pair and rock the other as casual. They're far from a daily training shoe though, but can be a great shoe to do tempo runs in. The flyknit upper on these is really comfortable, not as breathable as what's on my Lunarepic 2's, but feels a lot stretchier and more comfortable overall imo. For the price though, there are better options for running, but I just really like how they look and feel. I still prefer my Zoom Fly's and so far nothings come close to the vaporfly 4%. Those are on another level. For those of you who really want a daily shoe similar to the 4%'s, I say just wait for the Peg Turbos to release since they will come with Zoom X and are scheduled for a late Spring / early Summer release.
Not a problem, I've actually been waiting to hear some feedback on the Vapor Streets from a performance perspective since they released in Asia myself. I originally got mine for their intended use (casual wear), but I was really curious to see how they felt on a run. But to answer your question(s), no, they definitely don't give you that sense of propulsion as the Vapor Fly or Zoom Fly. I believe the heel to toe offset is smaller on the Vapor Streets than those two models as well (by 1mm).
I haven't tried the Epic React yet, but the React foam on the Vapor Streets is very responsive. It's a lot more responsive than the Zoom Fly, and I feel like the energy return makes up for the lack of a carbon infused nylon plate. At times, it actually felt really similar to the Vapor Fly's when I picked up the pace. So I would say yeah I was able to run at a faster than normal pace because of the energy return on them. My legs felt fresh too.
If you have the extra money, I would say give them a shot. Grabbing a pair off of Nike directly would be ideal because of their return policy, but they are currently sold out (unless you wait for a new color way), and I'm not sure what the return policy on boutiques like Kith, Bait, etc. is.
I caught those on eBay a few months ago. Was a 10 or 10.5, went for little above what listed retail is. Think seller claimed it was a sample he found at an outlet but I could be wrong
i'm using the 30 day return policy to see if the heel grows on me.Got my streets in today. They are actually very comfortable, and I got the same as my flyknit racer size. I just can't get past the aesthetics of the heel. They will be going back to Nike. Does anybody have both the streets and the epic reacts? If the comfort is similar, I might have to pick up a pair of reacts. Those streets are very comfortable

I dont think they made the elites bigger than a 12...my guess is that the dimensions/design spec of the elite (however modified it became), dictated the sizing in the take down model vapor streets.any insights on why nike didn't offer either of the launch cws of the Streets in larger sizes? Didn't see anything above a 12 offered anywhere. Definitely a letdown b/c I was eager to try these.
