NDC version = dope
The other = okay but not worth $160

they probably used a pic of the sample...that's what eastbay usually does.Originally Posted by johngotty
I grabbed a pair from FA. The colors on NDC are correct. FA's website is either wrong or...something. I'll try to post a pic later if needed.

Edit -- throwing in a pic. I'll let update w/how they wear later.
I would say that there is a noticeable difference, at least on my foot. AM2009s are my go-to shoe as well, which is why I was so excited for these to finally go on sale. I put the trainers on around the house yesterday even with the forefoot strap so loose that the velcro is visible, they are too narrow in the toebox. I'm going to have to send them back but not sure if I should try a half size bigger or just move on and try a new trainer...Originally Posted by johngotty
^ Nah, I wear mine just to kick and when I'm doing heavy walking on trips. They're pretty durable.
To the person who asked, I'd probably say they fit a little narrow in the box but nothing very noticeable. I can't decide if the toe is comparable to either of the AM's you listed. I can tell you the AM09 is a go-to shoe for me and these are very close to those in terms of comfort. I can wear'em all day w/no issues.
Man too late...already sent them back. Eastbay has them for $139 I believe. I bought a 20% off GC then used my 25% off Gold Club discount so I got them for around $85. I was SO excited and then SO pissed when they were hurting the outside of my foot. That's kind of a common thing for me with forefoot straps though...I should have known better. I'm thinking about Trainer SC 2010s or Kayoss now. I need a solid gym shoe and my Trainer 1s are down to the Phylon on most of the sole.Originally Posted by johngotty
JCliz - They break in pretty well. At first, they definitely have a stiffness to them. They're my travel kicks - the ones I wear on long drives and for airports and such. Love'em.
Are the grey/teal joints on sale yet? I need a backup.
