I'm a little surprised with everyone saying to go half size down. I haven't bought a pair yet but I thought most Nike running shoes I've worn fit a little snug compared to their others styles. When Frees first came out I thought they fit fairly small but I think they've adjusted that with newer models. Maybe these will be the same.
 
Im sorry to ask but will the volt/black colorway on the trainers come out tomorrow? Thanks
 
sorry. i was just referencing the general release trainers dropping tomorrow. disappointed that they made the switch to the non-lunar midsole. part of the reason why i'm not going to try hard to get one and why i'll save some money and try for another HTM trainer.
 
Is it going to be difficult obtaining these? I'm talking about like showing up 30 mins before Nike town opens ?

Didn't someone say earlier in the thread that lunar tooling was going to be made available late this year/early next year?

"While the London Olympics opening this weekend, Nike launches Flyknit, its latest technological innovation.

Launch of the limited edition exclusively HTM France Stadium in Paris and colette this Saturday, July 28.

The Olympics are often synonymous with technological revolution for the brand swoosh. And 2012 is sure to appeal. Beaverton brand is preparing to officially open Flyknit, its latest innovation, and thus allow many athletes to boost their level of performance ... Explanations and recall facts.


February 2012, New York City. Mark Parker (Nike CEO), along with Carl Lewis, is a preview of the technology and its early versions FlyKnit products. Directly based on the technique of knitting, this new process provides a second skin, conforming completely to form foot.

While the search for ultra comfort is almost driven to its peak, the first products bénéficiants Technology FlyKnit are simply stunning lightweight: 160 g for 42 Flyknit Racer in size, is almost the weight of the smartphone that you use every day! We know many runners who already salivating ahead ...


Comfort, loss of the glue, the stitching and redundant materials, lightweight Supreme ... If Flyknit repels lmites in terms of innovation and pure hard, the new technology and its first models perform another feat - probably the most complicated achieve - They agree to all the basketball junkies all over the world!

Veteran collectors, new comers, runners, all agree that in terms of style, the two and Flyknit Flyknit Racer Trainer + are among the most beautiful creations out in recent years, all brands. Also, to better prepare the public output, Nike has had the intelligence to revive HTM limited editions, these special lines devised jointly by Hiroshi Fujiwara, Tinker Hatfield and Mark Parker. The strategy is obvious: Build the desire among purists as ever with superb limited editions very hard to get and let the magic influence networks that operate a few months later on the general public.


Six months after the first press conference and outputs in HTM few strategic towns, the results are compelling: While the world of sneaker wants Flyknit while they are not even mounted on the catwalks of London Olympics !

The six new variations of colors HTM Flyknit + Trainer come to France this Saturday, July 28. Limited to 260 pairs per color for the whole world, they are among the rarest Flyknit placed on the market in 2012. In France, you can get them in that Stadium and colette Paris. The quantities available are very few, and it will probably take the public out of school to satisfy the greatest number.


Limited edition HTM at the end of July and General Release later this year? The debate is open, the countdown is started. See you Saturday, July 28."

Phew!

Same here. If the Trainers that'll be available tomorrow had Lunar tooiling, it'd be a very expensive day for me. :lol

Yup! Spring 2013. Lunar One+.
 
the chukkas and the other flyknit shoe dropping in feb 2013 both have lunar.

260 pairs each color is actually good news. the others were only 100. the blue/volt HTM trainer is the nicest but i like the red/volt cause it's unusual.
 
2gs sounds a lot but if you think about it, there is only 100 of each HTM so chances of seeing/meeting someone with the same shoe is rare. There are plenty of other shoes that are less limited and go for the same amount.
2 stacks ? No way! Plane ticket to London+ Hotel+ Food and Shoes nomore than $1,500.

HAVE you seen how thin the material is?.... :rolleyes:rolleyes
 
the one on the left is tts. there is like 1.5 thumb widths at least, and that continues around all of my other toes on the outside. when i take a step the shoe creases around the whole edge of my toes.

the one on the right is .5 down. a little hard to see with the angle, but there is about a thumb width of space between my big toe and the end and about half a thumb width around the other toes.


What size are you in other Nike runners compared to what size shoe you have on the right?

im so confused by this post, maybe because its early in the morning and I haven't quite woken up yet. But, the shoe on the left is TTS, so if I were a 10.5 and got a 10.5 I would have THAT MUCH extra room in the front of the shoe?!
anyone?

If you don't get a pair that fits well the shoes WILL curl up like the Structure Triax 91 and if anyone who has owned those they know what I'm talking about.

The toe will curl up like a banana.
 
I have a number of pairs and they are all my usual size 11. I couldn't wear a smaller size, particularly in the racer, which is very narrow in the toe area. I think for all these people going half to full size down from their usual size seems pretty strange. Almost as though they are wearing the wrong size in the first place.
 
Just called RRS in New Jersey. They will be selling them tomorrow. Smallest size is a size 8. Didn't ask what colors they will have since I will need a 7.5 with all this reading of going a half size smaller.
 
I'm thirsty for more pics of these

especially of the medial side, are the white/blacks like the volts with the black heel half and knitted toe/forefoot??

this exactly. i went tts in my racers and they fit perfect. yes there is a little room in the toe area but had i gone a half size down then they would be to narrow. now if the trainers sole is wider then i might consider going half down but only if i can try them on. if i cant then i will just stick to tts. i dont run so if i have a little room its not a huge concern...
 
The inconsistency in sizing especially in Jordan Brand products have people worried about sizing lately. As far as the racers, when in doubt get your true size.
