they might be done with the gen1 VFs

Disappointing if that holds true. So many teaser pics of differ cws we've seen that I assumed would release at some point.

 

[rfx45]

yah they kept the colorways very limited and even those that released stock was very small as well

i was hoping at least for a black and white colorway

 

[sssstan]

saw these as well while in Hawaii at the FTL on Waikiki. should be women's pair

 

[masshi]

not a fan of the sp's with small swooshes

White liner just does not work on the SP, IMO

On the other hand, Lapstone hammer is having 30% on select style with JULY4 code. Works on Vapor Street

MrKDes I hear ya That's why I still didn't cop.

 

[rfx45]

has the other colorways hit that sale price?

lowest i've seen is maybe $120... $115?

Why aren’t the String/Ridgerocks discounted yet?! At least let us use a promo code on them!

My take on running in the Vapor Street:
It feels very fast but starts to feel a bit sloppy running under 5:00/mi. I find it ideal for paces around 5:00-6:50 on flat surfaces with no sharp turns. It makes concrete feel like a bouncy rubber track. The downside for me is the minimal support (although it is more supportive than any flyknit shoe I've tried). I prefer the VS over the ZF and elite 9 as it's lighter than both. It's basically the Hoka Mach/Clayton, but better in every way imo.

Given the ZF2 will have full react (and with the plate obviously), I don't think many people would choose the VS over ZF2. My theory is that the VS was marketed as casual because it would be confused with the ZF2 when it comes out.

I think it's a VF midsole with a Flyknit Streak 6 upper.

Correct.

Good to see Bernard legat and Kip still running.

Good to see Bernard legat and Kip still running.

Maybe I'm missing it, but isn't Kip the same person as Bernard Kipchirchir Lagat?

Genuinely curious, as there are so many "Kip" runners, I initially thought getz_racer was talking about Kipchoge.

My mistake meant to just say Bernard lagat,

Thier are bunch of Kenyan runners that go by kip.

Haha, yeah Kip is his nickname, Bernard “Kip” Lagat. He wore those same VF4% Flyknit upper hybrids at the world half

Thanks for the feedback. I guess Im not crazy to run with VS .
