My ex bought me the white trainers (non-padded) for retail as my birthday gift in 2012. They were .5 size up from my normal size but still wearable. They are pretty beat but I still have them. Parts of the soles are starting to peel off 
Just grabbed the black trainers (non-padded) for $230. They are b-grades but I don't see anything wrong with them from the pics. I have been looking for the non-padded black trainer for a little while now and felt this was a reasonable price. I did offer $180 and $200 unsuccessfully before succumbing to the $230. Honestly do not feel they were going to get any easier/cheaper to find so I jumped on them.
I'm just curious since I haven't been up on this thread lately... What's the deal with the b-grades? I read a few pages back and saw some of you have b-grades also. Any noticeable flaws or could they pretty much pass for non b-grade?

B-Grades are just cosmetic defects. They are a hit or miss. I believe someone said, they label B-Grades in batches. So if they make a batch of 20 Flyknit Trainers, and say 3-4 out of them are cosmetically flawed they label the whole batch B-Grades. Can someone else confirm?My ex bought me the white trainers (non-padded) for retail as my birthday gift in 2012. They were .5 size up from my normal size but still wearable.

In my experience, my B-Grades have been flawless besides the fact there is some dust on the bottom from someone trying them on.

From my understanding, if they find a flawed pair, they take the 20 before and the 20 after (arbitrary number for example only) and label them b-grade. So out of the 41, 40 are likely perfect.

I bet that's a Nike sponsored runner. Nike make Flyknit Racers with all kinds of different soles for their runners.

My bad, bro. They didn't. They had the midsole portion blue with a black stripe.

I believe the all white sole version that I posted is a sample of the HTM USA racers, just to clarify

why does everyone feel the need to tell everyone what they paid? what did I miss?! 
just enjoy your shoes, nobody cares what you paid for them

I remember seeing pictures of these shoes from the 2012 US Olympic Marathon Trials. A lot of runners preferred other soles, so Nike made the Racers with the Nike Streak, Lunarlon and a bunch of other soles. I tried to find the pictures again, but haven't been successful so far.

Edit: I found a few pictures to show what I'm talking about. I had to blow the pictures up, so they're not the best quality.

I will start a ranking of my top 5 flyknits (excluding HTM cause that would be everybodies #1 - 5)
1 - White Flyknit Trainers 1st gen
2 - Blue Glow Trainers
3 - Volt Trainers
4 - Black White Racers
5 - Sport Turq Racers
Honorable mention - Beethoven's (only because it was mentioned recently in this thread
) and GS Racers
You can add the prices you paid for them too (if you want) so it'll be a hybrid of ranking and what you paid for them
