I’d be all over some ACG bands.

Don't have any particular favorites. Cutter, Off, etc. So long as they're in that 25-30% DEET range. Any higher and you want to apply to your clothes, not your skin (but beware because DEET can melt some plastics). A friend who's particularly tick-concerned uses picaridin instead of DEET, which...

That's a tough one. If you're avoiding bug spray, then covering up is probably your best bet. Not ideal when running in the heat, though. FWIW, if you're using bug spray that has 25-20% concentration of DEET, it's pretty safe. Some people can get some toxicity, but that's usually from misuse...

Those Terra Sertigs were awesome. Only problem I had was the sole kept peeling off at the heel. Otherwise they were super comfy.

How's the room in the toe box? When Nike wraps rubber over the top, I often find my big toe rubbing on the top of the upper. Any issues with that on the MF2?

Haven't tried the MF2 myself, but from everyone's descriptions, it kind of sounds like how the Lowcate feels? Wonder if they're using similar sole designs. Nike's descriptions of the two sounds really similar, too.

Blue Terra Kiger 9s came in yesterday, and I gotta say, photos don’t do them justice (tried taking some myself but didn’t do any better than Nike lol). The pink that shows through the blue mesh really pops in person. Liking them way more than I expected.

Doesn’t appear so. Not sure why they’re not on the NBY page (or the app), but if you google them they still show up. https://www.nike.com/u/custom-pegasus-trail-4-by-you-10001512

Guessing the IR4 will continue to be a stability shoe. That’s a lot of foam on the instep.

Really miss the ER 2. Really solid running shoe. My only gripe was the relative lack of forefoot cushioning (tend to be a mid foot striker), but otherwise it was great. IR has too much motion control for me sadly.

Do you like the tie-die in person? I bought a pair of NBY Peg 36 with the flame pattern, and it was fine but not as nice in person as I expected.

Anyone else's Next Natures make a noise when walking? It's like the insole glue is releasing just enough to make that sticking/unsticking sound.

Same. Haven’t run in them yet, but they remind me of a bouncier version of the pre-37 Pegs. Definitely liking the FK, too.

Thanks! That's good to hear.
