Nike Zoom Vaporfly Elite 2017

I am the only that's actually looking forward to running in these? I've been waiting for Nike to make a Hoka like shoe for 3 years. The cushioning plus a 10mm drop will be heavenly!
 
I need a new pair of running shoes, so I figured why not try for Nike's latest release.

Well, not the NikeLab pair, that's for sure. I am, however, looking to try out one of these two shoes (either the Vaporfly or the Zoom Fly) I am not as confident about running in Lunarlon shoes, but then the carbon fiber plate might help. The VaporFly would be great if I actually ran long distances on a regular, and that thing is $250, too... My only main concern is the way I strike when I land. I have to readjust from landing heel/midfoot to landing in forefoot and keep my form in a position where it favors the way the shoe is built.

Maybe it's just me though, but usually anything Lunarlon with not-so-great knees is a bad idea. I am willing to try one run... just not that confident. Few people here know that I have been running in the VaporMax, and those are supporting me well.

Got 2 events, maybe 3, coming up and would like to use these to train and race in.
 
Copped off dsm. Site was moving so slow didn't think I was going to be able to check out. 150 shipped
 
Is there a huge difference in comfort from the regular Vapor Fly vs 4%?

I've only tried the 4% and it was unlike any other shoe I've worn. But I wouldn't necessarily say that its great differentiator is comfort. It just felt like I was being propelled forward.
