Nike Zoom Vaporfly Elite 2017

[mynameaintg]

i dont know how sneakernews got 200 GBP to equal $275.

$250 makes more sense with the conversion.

im hoping ebates will still be at 15% when these are available.

 

[dru812002]

That's good news, as long as it's no more than $250, I'm down [emoji]128077[/emoji][emoji]127996[/emoji]

 

[suchafraud23]

$250 v. $275 is the same damn thing at that point

 

[Lunar_Loner]

I'm no marathon runner, I'll be going for the zoom fly when they go on sale.

 

[raffstylexx]

I was hoping for $175 for the 4% oh well... maybe ill wait for other colorway.

i dont run but i like comfy shoes!

how much for the zoom fly?

 

[Lunar_Loner]

Not telling you what to buy but I would check out the lunarepic for now at least until we hear more about this new cushioning they got coming. But the zoom fly will be $150 and its lunar based I believe.

 

[AmbientWitchcraft]

Gonna wait for the white colourway at that price, as I'll probably only ever get 1 pair.

 

[rfx45]

I don't think the 4% is going to be an ideal super comfy or super cushioned casual shoe.

That cf plate has got to make it less comfy than the alternatives.

Of course that is just a guess on my part but I do think it's a shoe that is really performance specific.


By the way, anyone here who ran a 5k on Sunday may have won a pair of the elites?

 

[agrizzly21]

I ran. No word yesterday. Think there were millions of runners by the app count.

 

[jwong]

I ran as well, but didn't hear anything. I thought the contest is also happening on Sunday as well, so I'm guessing they'll pick one person from either of weekends.

 

[rfx45]

yeah they are doing another one this Sunday and then picking 5 winners on the 17th

this past Sundays run, they were suppose to pick 10 winners yesterday

For 250+ tax
I'm not really feeling all those creases.

These couldn't have been worn many times either.

 

[dragicon]

^ that's just how the new nikes are. Elite 9s, the upcoming flyknit mariahs, streak 6s, they crease really badly. These 4%s are performance shoes... not something you wear to prom.

 

[rfx45]

yeah those creases on the midsoles perfectly fine as long it doesn't mean it cracks

if the performance is focus then how it looks afterwards shouldn't be the main concern

 

[dru812002]

I'm just concerned of the Upper not holding up that long. Flymesh is really thin. I know people were having issues of rips and tears in the Zoom Streak 6.

 

[rfx45]

I agree, I still think for $250 it should at least have a flyknit upper.

 

[dru812002]

Or maybe even Flyweave which looks more like flymesh being more of a tight knit.

 

[ZoomXRunner]

I agree, I still think for $250 it should at least have a flyknit upper.

The pricing is based upon the new midsole. i think Nike went with Flymesh on the upper as the Flymesh version of the Streak 6 sold much better thank the Flyknit. Also elite athletes haven't embraced Flyknit.

 

[rfx45]

I know they are pricing it based on the new innovation but at the end of the day it's a $250 shoe that has a dated upper and apparently not as durable.

I also wouldn't be surprised if the flymesh version of the streak6 might have sold better because it is at a lower pricepoint but they are hitting the outlets either way so it's not like they are selling out.

I just think Nike could toss us a bone once in a while and not try to cutback on other parts of the shoes just because there's a new innovation in it.

 

[rocketsfan]

So does Fleet Feet have these for sale now?

 

[mynameaintg]

id rather pay $250 retail than strike out on RD and pay $250 to a reseller.

 

[illustrayt]

We need to see more cws!

I'm hoping to pick up a pair of the Zoom Fly on the 8th. The colorway is nice to me, but I wouldn't mind having that black pair up there too.
