That popping sounds is on certain surfaces only or on everything? Sounds bad in the video. Almost like walking with scuba fins.

All surfaces but some are worse than other. I have carpet in my office and it popped here. Did it on wood floors. Did it on concrete. Seemed louder on hard surfaces but that might bc bc the carpet was able to absorb some of the sound.

Mine are popping like crazy. Have my headphones on at the gym but I feel like it may be bugging the people around me. Lol.

Mine start popping after wearing them for a few hours. I guess moisture builds up underneath throughout the day. Taking out my insoles solved my popping issue but it's not ideal. Tried 4 other insoles and the popping was still present.

To be clear, the popping sound is a very isolated incident that most people won’t experience whatsoever.
I wouldn’t let it discourage anyone from buying these shoes. There’s an extremely good chance your pair will not have the problem.

I bought a pair of the black/whites from NDC and out of the box the left shoe had the popping. I've had squeak in soles before so was going to go the baby powder route, but then noticed it still popped even with the insole removed. I just walked in them for a work day of errands and the popping eventually went away.

If I wear my Dri-fit compression socks, I don't experience the popping

you guys think it has something to do with the insole rubbing against the upper material?

Well my left shoe is popping...its annoying as ****. What do i do? I really like this shoe now. It happened literally now. I work at a hospital floor. It doesnt pop sometimes if i adjust my walking in a uncomfortable stride lol. Ugh i really like this shoe. I dont think I have the invoice from dicks sporting goods. Usually throw everything away even box. Fml
Its not from upper its from the mid forefoot where the pop comes from.

Not sure if it will work but try different insoles (or none) and report back

OMG, just watched the popping vid. 
Neither of my 2 pairs from NDC have this problem.
