Great shoe. Ordered them yesterday, got them today. Perks of being in LA I guess (sneakerhead is in LA area).
I can say that the best comparison I have is the FR2 Suede Pack. I would use the same sizing you use on FR2s (and LG4s, Roshes for me), however, these are a bit tighter/snugger. Little more force to get the shoes on but i assume they will stretch a bit like the FR2s.
I do not plan to run in these, but they feel more supportive than the FR2s.
They definitely give off more of a Nike Sportswear vibe than Nike Running.
Overall these are more comfortable and supportive than the FR2s. Quality materials. Nice, solid, and lock down fit.
For $100 this is a great shoe and worth every penny.
I will definitely be picking up the Strata Grey when it comes out, but I'm getting the feeling that the Grey and Taupe cws will be more limited than the obsidian and teal given that the latter are already available at boutiques. But I've been wrong before.
Good times.
Apologies for the iPhone pics. The sole is definitely more tan than comes off here. Or as my girl puts it: it looks like a dinosaur egg. If you would like more pics, let me know.
