Check out the upper today. Doesn’t look cheap at all. Material upper on 55s> see through/ admitted uncomfortable plastic upper on 87s.

I wish the black material on the 55s were darker, same for the sole on the black+red pair.

Funny thing is that if 55s had undercover or off-white written across it with a limited tag dudes would be singing a different tune. Going just as hard for them as they do 87s. Where’s the lie?

Pure platinum 55s on the way. Went .5 up from the 9.5 I got in sail 87s. Will post pics and my sizing input once in hand in a few days.

I saw all those regular reacts 55 earlier this month at champs. Basic study but if you like the model I’ll scoop. They gonna treat these like Roshes.
I wouldn’t mind a leather upper though.

Photo Blue 87s are all I need. I have struck out on all the colorways but I’m hunting this pair down for a decent price. I refuse to pay for 2 bills

Retail is 160 so expecting to get them below 200 seems a bit outlandish unless you're going for a really small size. They're not that high right now at all.

Yea I’m confident once the hype dies down I’ll get them. $200 is my max. Just like any shoes the hype dies down after a few months and people get desperate.
Last month I offered $200 on some kicks, and buy it now was $300. Then the seller accepted. Honestly I was shocked, I kinda put the offer in just to mess around and ended up getting them.

I'm still holding out for a restock of the Sails. Looking less & less likely tho.

I see them only going up! Definitely won’t be around $200 in my size again size 13. Wish I’d pulled the trigger at $215

half true lol the black do look cheap in person but you get what you pay for. the platinum or lighter color would mask the the cheapness IMO so im looking forward to those.

Who started the whole “upper looks cheap” thing? Cause man, some of y’all are really running with that lol. Doesn’t look any more cheap than most Nike models these days including the 87s.

Totally agree...when I first saw the zoom fly sp, I thought the materials were awesome and I love them on the 87. Cheap is not at all how id describe it.

I’m saying that the plastic on the 87s IS cheap/cheap looking. So you probably actually disagree with me lol.

Totally agree that i totally disagree lol. I dont find it cheap - i think its less substantial than the typical weaves and knits...its a different material design, not necessarily cheaper imho.
