nike zoom talaria retro vol.....da neonzzzz

Both those are pretty fresh for the summer.  

Will be copped on deep discount only though.  And we all know they'll end up there.

My Olympic Talarias came in. These are AWESOME!!! I didn't realize that the silver trim is 3M material! I should have jumped on these sooner but now, I'm glad I have a pair. Gonna actually use these to exercise in when the weather gets nicer (snowstorm today in southeast PA).

I have both versions of the neons. The volt material feels slightly cheaper and smoother on the 2017. It's more like the material they use on most GR air max 90's. Only really noticeable up close. (Lab version was a fuzzy type of material) One nice difference is that it doesn't attract hair, lint, and dirt like the lab version. So it stays looking cleaner and brighter.

The tongue and ankle collar area are a little more padded. As others have said, the insole is a different color scheme. It's also now just a basic style of insole. It's not as thick and rubbery as the lab version and doesn't have the high arch like the lab version.

I know this will be hard to believe, but I swear the cushioning feels a bit softer in the new version. It not a huge difference, but it's noticeable to me. And it's not just because of the new insole. I tried swapping the new insole into my lab pair and that wasn't the difference.

I've worn the new pair a bunch the last couple weeks and overall, I prefer it since it's a little more comfortable and it stays looking cleaner.

The Lab version is definitely a dirt magnet. Got me thinking of giving up one of my pairs in exchange for a GR pair.
 
So is the general consensus on these that they're comfortable enough to be worn all day? I stand up for about 8-9 hours a day at work. Was thinking of ordering a pair, but figured I'd ask here first.

They are comfy, but if I had a choice for wearing all day, I would buy the Spiridon Ultras. I wore my pair yesterday while running errands and they are SUPER COMFY!!! Didn't want to take them off, lol.
 
Finally got the GRs at 30%.
Weird that no half sizes online @ nikehk. Would be perfect if 9.5. Have to get a 10...the toe box is quite roomy. A very nice classic indeed. Nobody cares talarias here.

@David Choi, nice! I've been waiting forever for a sale on nike.ca before purchasing. No point of buying this shoe for 190$ CAD. For some reason this classic got no love here in Canada, the sneaker boutiques didn't even receive this colorway.

Just read thru this entire thread trying to see where was the best place to cop volts.

I'm a small footer and Ebay still has no size 6, I've been checking weekly since early Feb. Seems like the outlets might be the only place now to get them. I don't think my local NFS has ever received Talarias though.

Is it possible for me to physically go into my local NFS and have them order them for me from another outlet?

^yes outlet to outlet orders are still doable I believe.

ask in the outlet/coupon thread, I'm sure someone in there is a more knowledgeable than I on the subject.
