Have you tried the Currex Run Pro Low?

I have a set of Currex RunPro Mediums in my RC Elite 2s (mainly because the normal NB sockliner keeps slipping towards the heel). I like them better than Superfeet, but generally I try to avoid aftermarket insoles and stick to shoes that don't wreck my ankle. The inov-8 ones are just to add more cushion/bounce, not support. It's like adding a thin layer of boost, but are a little thicker than typical insoles.

Grab custom molded insoles from road runner. They are like $85 but are a game changer. I have a pair that is 10 years old.

 

[Bo Kristensen]

These. These are nice.

Dope! How'd you go about sizing for those RCE2s compared to the AlphaFly / VaporFly Next%?

Seems like a lot of overlays on the Stone Island RC Elite 2; hope it doesn't push the shoe to 9 oz...

I went up 1/2 size. I had to in the Rebel 2 as well. YMMV

There will probably be a bump of some sort with so much going on. The ventilation might suffer a tiny bit as well.

Sick concept with the new school elite upper hulking out of the OG style upper.

Interesting! I’m not mad at it! Now,

Pink, light teal, purple, or white.

I think the RCE V2 color selections are based on cotton candy.

Or Jelly Bellys. I think they look good though.

Any thoughts on APL shoes? Don't mind forking over some extra $ to explore new footwear options. My Brooks adrenalines are a mile away from falling apart. What do y'all think?

IMO Hoka should fall under this category.

i'd honestly pass on APL knowing you can get your money spent better towards any other actual running shoe at a fraction of the cost

Thanks! I might try HOKA or Altra.

How limited are they going to be? Will the Hypebeast sneaker DBs line up for them?!?

As I was going through my old stuff, I found a Sports Basement voucher for ~$100 in my old fenix 6X pro box. Out of curiosity, I searched their site for the NB RC Elite v2s, and they carry them! I'm hoping to scoop them up this weekend! I completely forgot that I was a Basementeer too, so there's an additional 10% off!

I'm a little surprised the RC Elite's plate is just under the strobel in the heel--it doesn't feel like it.

Tried on the meta sky’s in the store the other day and they are dope! Might have to buy them.

How was the sizing for the Sky for you? I'm reading most are saying +1/2, as they fit small.

I'm leaning towards going TTS for the RCE2s.

I am a 9.5 in Nike and NB. They were TTS compared to that. I go down a half size in Saucony.

Can these drop in the US already?!
