First Review:

Today I went on a quick 3 mile run LOL.

It was mainly to test out the FKs.

Cushioning- 9.5/10

The cushioning was superb. The zoom feels AMAZING! It may just be me though, because I've always preferred zoom over lunar. Super responsive and springy. These>Lunar Eclipse +1, Free Run 2,3 , and Lunarglide 2 and 3s

Comfort- 10/10

The FK upper is sooo soft. No break-in needed.

What surprised me the most is that the toe box doesn't crease as much as i expected.
It started to crease after the run but it wasn't bad. It is like a bending a thin carpet.

Heel Support- 6/10

I don't know if it was me (I have super thick orthotics) or just the shoe.
My heel was slipping sometimes during my run and for casual wear.

Another reason why people who will use the stock insole to go a .5 size down!

breathability- 9/10

I watched Batman yesterday and its kinda gross but when I watch movies my feet start to sweat.

My foot felt very cool throughout the whole movie.

Its 85 degrees in H-Town which isn't that hot so I can't comment on its breathability in warm weather.


Fit
People with medium and narrow feet go .5 size down.

wide: go TTS.

Good review anhuynh16!

Have you tried them on sockless yet?

I definitely have to try them on before purchasing now.

 

[v3nomenon]

I have been told these will release late July.  Well, it is late July and we still have not been shown the colorways.  What is going on!?

 

[barry]

Just called, all sold out of men's sizes. The hunt continues

Go back to page 11, check out the colors and then read page 11-19 and then you will be caught up and be in the know. All the information is in this thread, you just have to look for it.
Late July goes until next week.

[boss tycoon 408]

That orange pair

 

[dbooth]

Dude where did u get those?

Yes I bought 7's

 

[rocketsfan]

So what the difference between the Trainer and the Racer?

It looks like the Trainer has the Lunar outsole and the Racer has the Mariah looking outsole?

?

Racers and Trainers (non HTM) both have zoom midsoles.

The racer has a sleeker midsole and upper for racing.
The trainer is more for people like us who run and wear for casual wear. The midsole seems to be thicker than the racer and outrigs out more

 

[dbooth]

when you get a chance, can you post pics of the box labels? Still unclear from anhuynh16's explanation....

Really I just want to know the exact name of the black/white one.

 

[urbanwaste]

nice pics.

 

[barry]

Wow, those orange ones are NICE !

the box just says nike flyknit trainer+.

what anhuynh16 was basically saying is that the racer and trainer are almost identical. The uppers and midsoles are slightly different, and the racer sits closer to the ground by a few mm.

 

[you right]

i was hoping the orange would be trainers. I will decide if i get to see them in person...

 

[pezones]

RACER

TRAINER

Huge thanks to EVERYONE in this thread for the info

 

[dbooth]

Here is a side by side comparison. The uppers are slightly different and the Racer soles are sleeker and smaller. The Racers are also lighter. If you look closely on the sole of the Trainers you can see an indent the runs around the heel of the sole. That is the quickest way to tell.

NIKE FLYKNIT TRAINER

NIKE FLYKNIT TRAINER HTM (lunar sole)

***** On a side note, did anyone else notice the volt tint of the soles on the Volt Flyknit Trainers?

 

[cutthroat]

Thanks for the photos! Great shots showing how much sun gets through the upper. That means that these will be so cool for the summer. its 103 right now where I'm at in CA. How is the feel in the Racer versus the Trainer?
