I know a bunch of people have been half sized up from the past couple pages. Half size up from all your other Racers?
I cant confirm that. My pair fit exactly like my lucid greens, really no difference to me.

i'm curious why the hate on roshes? I have a few pairs, but really wouldn't consider myself part of any team.
 
 
Man I thought these whould have stayed cool, but they really trying to end the roshe
They ****** up the sock liner where it used to have the grip now its just fabric and foam, the reason why the grip was so crucial is cause of the mesh that has no structure. Without that traction your foot slides forward causing your big toe to push agaisnt the front of the mesh.


*has there been any news of other retailers getting stock of the 2.0? I was one of the people that had to work morning of release so I didnt have a chance to wait it out and constantly click and refresh :/

Have you been in that thread? I'm talking 1+ years ago, when roshes were hot. I own 20 pairs myself, but I couldn't stand the herbs in that thread. Full of lames.

You either likes the shoes or didn't. But the dudes in that thread made me stop frequenting it
 
The whole thing that pisses me off about the racers these days is that they are difficult to get now.  I couldn't care less if tons of people want the shoes, I just wish Nike would produce more.   If nike made a ton of the shoes in decent colors, there would be no resale market, and everybody could get the shoes they wanted.  Instead, Nike produces small quantities, pushes the hype, and has the shoes sell out in a few hours.  
 
So SolestopNYC has the racers 2.0 for sale at $225 which is the 200 euro retail plus 25 shipping I assume, I guess what im asking is would just spending the extra loot be worth not having the stress of staying on top of restocks and such? I work pretty much everyday so being able to scoop asap if a notification of a restock is posted during the day is gonna be impossible my only chance would be a random drop late at night i suppose. Anyone ordered from them before? 225 is way more than I wanna spend but missing out on 1.0 and 2.0 and there possibily being no more released has me thinking this is my last chance to get em. Idk I'm not on ebay and never used it before so have no feedback maybe it would be better to pay and set up a paypal account and just wait for something to drop that is less money maybe? The only thing in favor of this option is solestop is a authentic store with rep while theres always the risk on ebay regardless of feedback.

They said on their instagram summer 2015 and with euro getting these first i wouldn't be surprised if they came out soon, im sure they'll have them as well for same price. Now that you reminded me of those i think ill hold that cash for those instead lol

Can you blame them though? Geniuses. You pretty much summed up what Nike does.
 
They're keeping constant interest in the brand, consumers constantly fiending for more. And when it starts to sizzle down, they drop a new hyped shoe. Learn business before criticising their practice.

And there are plenty of decent shoes on shelves at any given time that can always be purchased with zero hassle. Problem is, there's no hype behind them. There's no GR sneaker forums of thousands of members. You're guilty of feeding into it, as we all are.

They will become more of a GR shoe bruh. I hate to keep bringing up the Roshe, but we saw how Nike did it. I remember when they brought the Sails and Red joints out they was slightly limited(I'm talking Zappos deals and stuff). Now they've made so many of them that its easy to get. As long as the themes don't get too funky, I'll keep buying them.

Never. You can't beat that Roshe price point. At $80, you can put out garbage and people will cop because of the price. Can't do that wil a $150 price point.

Nothing will ever be like roshes. And it's all because of that price tag.

I don't think they were limited as much as much as they just weren't beasted after. Nordstrom got a great deal on them because most retailers told nike no on all roshes.

Nordstrom rack got tons of iguanas, sails and reds. I'm talking about the random rack in Tampa having 100+ pairs at one point and there were 150 stores at the time. Plus zappos and other off price retailers.

The hype caught on after this and the second shipment racks were supposed to get wound up at regular nordstrom stores for full price.

That $40 shoe fetches so much now it's ridiculous.

nah, you're pissed off because you missed or wasn't able to successfully get these oreo 2.0, or maybe even B/W. But before that and still now, almost every color is basically GR and can be bought days/weeks/months after release. 

for the record, original roshes were $70 and majority of it was available for sale way below that.

I love the story of the Roshe Run

I remember calling all the racks to get iguanas shipped to me. They're still the best ones ever IMO.
 
On a flyknit topic, have any of you guys used different insoles?

Some of my older knits could use a pick me up. Roshe insoles in knits are a little tight, but heavenly
