you guys understand how asinine it would be for a shoe to wear out after between 13 and 26 miles, right? lol. i can't even believe everyone is still talking bout this. the author clearly f*ked up by A) misinterpreting some statement and interpreting that statement to mean the sole would only last 13-26 miles and then B) actually being dumb enough to put it in print.
not only that but his original comment in the article was "the grip" will last between a half and full marathon. the grip? who talks that way when referring to the sole's life? which leads me to believe it was just something he misunderstood from the jump....someone told him something about the grip of the shoe and then he went to print with something that was then misinterpreted by folks to mean that the sole had a super finite life.
last but not least, nike claims that 350 runners put 126,000 miles on these in testing. 126000/350 runners = roughly 360 miles per runner. i'm pretty certain each runner used one pair of shoes to put those miles on and not between 14 and 27 pairs lolol .

Just copped the Platinums from Finishline. Such a beautiful shoe man and super comfy 
. It's not as narrow as I thought it would be in the forefoot.

I've only tried mine on in the house, but still nothing is beating the ultra boosts in terms of comfort.

FOH. Placebo hype effect is loud and clear with you.
UB JUST AREN'T AS COMFORTABLE as you sheep claim them to be.

Tried the platinum vapormax this afternoon at my local HOH-appeared to have a FSR still
I like 'em but not for $190 and they fit true to size if you have a medium width foot..i would never wear these to run in..

I ordered a men's 10 and women's 11.5 so I'll be able to update everyone on the difference in fit between men's and women's when they come in.

I tried on the vapormax today, I wear a 10.5 in the free run flyknit for comparison. The vapormax is a really flexible shoe and I could have went down .5 in this for a really snug fit. Nice shoe, but $190 is pretty steep.

Saw these in person at FL today [platinum]. Pretty sick. About time Nike released something that lives up to hype again.

I get the UB comparison is inevitble, because people want Nike to "respond" to boost, but it really needs to stop. Theres no comparison, they're both completely different feeling and are both extremely comfortable in their own ways.
After wearing my pair all day walking around, these are feeling really solid

For all this comfort discussion, go check out Lunarepic if you haven't already. Go .5 size up.

It's apples and oranges.
I find the Vapormax to be generally a more comfortable shoe.
It's been a long time since I've had a shoe where the upper conforms my foot really well. Sole is really responsive and doesn't feel "dead" like boost

these aren't suppose to be in response to the boost. That is what their new ZoomX sole is forI get the UB comparison is inevitble, because people want Nike to "respond" to boost, but it really needs to stop.

Even though boost isn't actually new, this shoe 5-6 years in the making. Doubt its to "challenge" boost. Adidas was and still is a blip on Nike's radar back then.

Apparently the "boost killer" may be enveiled sooner than we thought [emoji]128064[/emoji]

"Later this summer, we'll unveil a third Platform, a next generation cushioning system designed in radical new forms that help runners and baseball runners increase their performance and stay fresher longer. Using a new material, this will be the first widely available NIKE platform that merges our new algorithm based approach to designing with data. Combined, this new system with Vapor Max and Zoom X, and that's three new cushioning platforms coming to market in the months ahead. As our consumers, will soon see, this is truly a cushioning revolution from NIKE."

Checked EBAY coz I was curious the resell price on the OG Red and triple black variant and Im surprised no one is selling them.

I find the peg 33 and the elite 9 to be even more comfortable than the epics. Everybody has different taste

Can't believe I watched the whole video...
But one thing did come to mind...what's the max load on these as far as weight?! I noticed how squished the bubbles looked near the end when he was mimicking steps or walking. A hefty jabroni might pop a unit just walking.

^ when I tried them on today, that was the most worrisome part for me. I'm only 140 lbs, and just normal walking you could see that heel air bubble get compressed quiet significantly.
