Completely agree. Not feeling any of these. I need to chill anyway. Bought way too many pairs over the last 30 days.

I don't see the blue tint either. I have them here in hand and see a pure anthracite/black weave with no tints of blue or green.

I'm actually at the airport rocking mine and I'm certain lights you can def see the bluish green tinit. I'm pretty sure it's the way the grey and black is mixed that makes it look bluish green.

I think it really depends on the lighting, but under my current lighting conditions, I personally don't see the blue tint but only a grungy worn out charcoal look to the Triple Blacks having them in hand. To me the main difference in upper between the two are that the Triple Blacks are colorblocked mixed weave and the Knit by Nights are not, even looking at them side by side in person.

Yeah man I tallied up and the dollar amount is sickening. Not buying anymore for a while unless I'm reselling. Profits from reselling will go to a slush fund for buying and keeping my own pairs.

love the all-whites, but i wish the sole was white too
is it like with boost where the stuff doesn't really take well to different colors or something?
also, can anybody help me with this racer cw from a long time ago?
it had a volt swoosh on a white background on the outer side (forget what the inner side looked like) and i think it came out at around the same time as the yellow ones
as with all racers that came out during that pre-hype period, they weren't that popular and didn't sell out quickly
edit: found them
526628-170
these commanding stupid resell right now?
wish i had appreciated them more at the time they released
really underrated cw imo

Just snagged the Blue Tints off Footpatrol for ~$100. Looks like they only had 1 size and OOS now.
They have these women's pairs for ~$50

The Triple Black racers are very much like the TB UB Uncaged being that for some reason, pictures do not accurately portray their true color so side by side pictures wouldn't really help much in this instance. In pictures/videos, they may cast a bluish cast but in person under most lighting conditions it is not discernible at all.
I can only assume that it's the way that the dark grey anthracite weave is mixed with the black that would give any illusion of a blue tint, but I can assure you that there is not an actual blue tint in the weave. If anything, they give off a charcoal tint since the upper is not fully black.

I have had both in order to compare - once you have seen them side by side and seen the bluish glint on the the Triple Blacks, you will always see it - especially in comparison to the Nikelab Black Knit by Night and of course more under good lightconditions (some kind like the "golden or grass stains" on the Platinums) - it's something hard to deny.
And the video of Sean Go gives a really good impression - imo.
As a question of individual taste I prefer the Black Knit by Nights and returned the Triple Blacks because of this bluish glint (and glossy part in the sole)
and prefer my Black Knit by Night with it's more true black and more elegant appearance (and contrast due to the ivory colored sole, without glossy part).
(At the same time the "grass stains" on the Platinums have been no deal braker to me - I think that they give the Platimuns a more "natural /earth toned" look, which fits good to the colors I wear).

I too have both the Knit by Nights and Triple Blacks in person to compare, but I disagree about the blue tint as it reads much more charcoal to me. I don't think it is a fair statement to say that everyone will see the blue tint and once you see them in person, you will always see it because that is not always true. In reality, the difference in upper between the two is very marginal at best only varying in shade but not actual color as well as one being colorblocked and the other one not. The lateral side of the Triple Blacks are actually a touch darker than the Knit by Nights overall weave, while the medial side of the Triple Blacks are a touch lighter than the Knit by Nights. I love my Knit by Nights due to the ivory colored sole, but I also love my Triple Blacks due to the completely blacked out sole.
I actually only ordered the Triple Blacks in order to compare them in person to my Knit by Nights and had every intention of returning them after. I was never expecting to actually like them once I got them in hand and keep them, but in person I was pleasantly surprised.
On the other hand, I definitely cannot unsee the grass stains on the Earth Tones/"Pure Platinum" racers. The greenish tone woven throughout the weave is undeniable and for me, that was a complete deal breaker. That green tinge just gives them too much of a dirty appearance IMO.

It's a question of human cognition- it's natural, that you, once have seen or heared a certain good or especially bad thing (in your opinion) concerning a product or person, that you will always see it... and it's also human that beeing a fan of something, people often start to deny critical aspects, opinions or even facts...to convince others or even themselves...
However - Merry Christmas Everybody !-)
