You cant even tell unless you do an overhead view.

I know. I just have a thing for the simple details.

I definitely pay attention to details.

But dudes are willing to pay a lot more money for unpadded. Just doesn't make sense to me.

I feel you. that's probably just people and their vanity.

Been looking for these for quite some time. Was able to phone order them from the nike store in alpine, ca. I was willing to pay retail on them and was so shocked to hear the price over the phone!

come up. do you happen to know what other sizes they have in stock?

 

[lazydani3l]

Unpadded seems to come with round-ish laces as opposed to padded which comes with regular flat laces. (NDC's restock appears to have the round laces which means unpadded.)

Anyone knows the reason behind two different models? Padded vs Unpadded? I apologize if this has been answered before.

Unpadded more prone to heel slip?

 

[mikeyman14]

The reason Nike began padding was because the original trainer (unpadded) cause blisters and pain in the heel/ankle. However, the padding fixed this issue from what I understand.

Also the oval --> flat laces I believe was due to the fact that the flats didn't untie easily where the ropes do.

Lol still a trip to see my Volt and black white trainers picture comparison pop up.

 

[irybreadi]

The black white trainers were purchased from run.com and when I brought it to Nike to show them the lace and padded difference, the NikeTown SF employee said I bought fakes. Smh

Sorry man, i didnt ask what other size they had. Funny story though, I also bought what the worker told me was "volt trainers". He insisted they were, even though i didnt think they could still have them. Anyways, got them in today....turn out to be electric green trainers lol. Oh well, cant be mad since i got such a great deal on the multicolors.

Are the most recent flyknit trainers that just release padded or non

Unpadded are gen 1, padded are gen 2.

I don't remember black / white ever being less than retail.

White/black on the other hand I scooped for $119 last year. And doubled up for $132 shipped from an outlet

 

[irybreadi]

^i remember buying the whites for 119 last year, then 2 weeks later on the last day for price adjustments...nike had a coupon so in the end i had em for $96 before tax.

SF Employees are so wack, i want to say most but some of them have no idea about the products they have in or the technology behind it.

negative, i think free shipping was anything over $75 at that point, but didn't matter. I bought it at 120+ tax and it was already in my possession, they just credited me 20%.

 

[ahhhnth]

Threw these on today.

Finally a solid post.

A bunch of new NT Flyknit posters talking about padded vs unpadded like its 2012/2013.

thinking of painting the tongue of my EGs black, and a quick google search later, acrylic paints seem to be the way to go. Angelus is a leather paint so i'm not sure if it is the best option. Thinking of getting an acrylic paint  in marker form like the following: http://shop.molotow.com/en/Marker/Molotow-Marker/ONE4ALL/MOLOTOW-ONE4ALL-427HS.html

Any idea if that would work?

 

[jonnyybp]

Great price on those frees

 

[jape]

damn the frees weren't even on my radar. now i might just pick them up for the hell of it.
