I like the feel of the thinner shrouds on the earlier releases than the thicker shroud on the later releases. The thicker shroud is stiffer and a little more abrasive. Just a personal preference...

appears that EASTBAY list is WRONG and the 10/5 release IS the SE
WTF--- can't anything go right with the releases of this shoe ??
shouldn't have to work this hard to get CORRECT info on a release

He was the referring to the fact that the zoom is positioned a different way in the Superfly 2s...I also like the setup better in the Superfly 2s as well

Interesting for those of you that have had the luxury of playing in both the 28 SE and the Super Fly 2s which do you prefer? Thinking about making a purchase this weekend. The Bel Air 28 SE caught my attention and feel like they're the wildest color in either of those models yet.

Yeah like the unlocked zoom bags are placed horizontally in the forefoot.
My theory as to why so many pairs of xx8 zoom bags have popped in the past is due to the set up. When you walk/run/bend your foot naturally puts a crease and added pressure on the unlocked zoom bag, as well as the glue holding it all together. I have had a few friends and talked to a couple people that have gotten refunds due to their zoom bag not lasting.
As you can see from the setups, superfly's provide a natural flex groove.

My bad I didnt know you were talking about the placement of the units. Do the superfly's feel stiff?

That's annoying. Maybe they are going to just start dropping SEs on us without any notification...

I heard the SEs are going to be more avaible and imo better ventilation now that the shroud is completely gone

100% more ventilation. I think it will be same numbers as the xx8's just because they still need to release the 29's, so they don't want pairs sitting.
And Ive heard a $150 price tag which is awesome

Just an update. Played ball in these last night finally for the first time and the response from the xx8 is incredible. I'm now a huge believer in flight plate. Will admit that I thought it was a marketing gimmick at first.
Whereas my Hyperdunk 2011's wouldn't be able to keep up, inertia wise...these basically allowed me to go wherever I wanted. Great basketball shoe!
The only downside was after a few hours of play, my sock would slide in the shoe from sweat resulting from no ventilation. Otherwise, this would be perfect. I assume this is where the xx8 SE's would excel.
