Flyknit Chukka Thread

You willing to proxy for me in an 8.5? 

(if they're still there and it isn't too much of a hassle)

Sorry, but I just happened to be in the East Bay yesterday and decided to stop by. Was able to grab an 8, and also did a size check for 8.5, but there were none. Luckily, they fit perfect.

Ahh I see. Well thanks anyway man and congrats on the find!

Wow, great pickup!

So general concensus on the Chukka FSB is to go down a full size from the original lunar sole chukka right?

I cannot compare to the general lunar chukka, but for me, my TTS nike size is 9, and I have 3 pairs of the FSBs in size 8 that all fit perfectly.  I have a narrow-ish foot.

Awesome thanks man. Just copped the olive FSB in a 9.

The olives are super nice.  The only thing that I don't like is the shoe laces are stiff and it feels like they are going to destroy the flywire.  Looks and comfort wise, they are fantastic.

Wow that acg come up. Wanted those.

I don't own and FSB, but I tried on the black/red pair at my local (Vacaville Nike outlet $75) and I sized down a full size in comparison to my lunar size.

I have last years fsb and this years and as far as I can tell, this years fit truer. Last year I was a full size down for sure. This year, half size is about right. I have a wide foot so YMMV.

I'm going to disagree with this. I have three of the new colorways (women's up 1.5, green, black) and they all fit the same as my reds, greys, and blacks from last year

Just picked these up on a stock locate with nike from a outlet in Mississippi for $59 ($71 after tax and shipping)

 

[xbiker47]

^^^ great price

Too good to be true. I was contemplating getting them of the bay for $100+, and decided to try stock locate. I am happy I did!

Does anyone here own the Cinnabar SFBs? Really thinking of picking a pair up but not sure how wearable the colour is.

Thanks!

They are nice. I don't own a pair but I saw them at the Las Vegas outlet. They are pretty close to the pictures on NDC. In my opinion, they are a little too bright and a bit too orange for my taste. I really like the gum sole though

Yeah the sand coloured sole is the best part of the shoe.

Would you buy a pair for 100 bucks? Price has me tempted honestly.

It'd be a tough choice for me tbh. It's probably just a bit more then what I would be willing to pay for that shoe, even though it is a really good price.

I know the FSB's are water resistant, how good is it in the rain? You would think a sneakerboot would keep your feet warm but these feel rather thin...

I wouldn't expect the FSBs to keep the feet very dry or warm.  The plastic part on the toe box certainly keeps water away if you are careful (unlike the flyknit racer which gets soaked easily).  They are somewhat water resistant, but clearly if Nike is putting some DWR coating on them, they realize that it is a major weakness of the shoe.  They are a bit thin, but I can wear some thicker socks in them and they hold up ok in the cold.  Luckily, I'm out in colorado where it doesn't get too bitterly cold in the winter.  If I was in Wisconsin, I probably would be looking for different shoes in the winter time.

Appreciate everyone who recommended going a full size down on FSB's. Olive joints came in the mail today a size 9 fit me like a glove.
