Man NDC customer service is the ****, especially if you're on that Beta app. I called in to see how long they'd have the flags available on ID. Explained to the guy that Nike was hitting me hard by dropping the red, the oreos, the ID's, and the AM90 Marshmallow tomorrow. Also 2 Asics coming out. Told him I was trying to put one or two of them off for a few weeks bc spending $1k on shoes in 2 days would have me sleeping on the couch. Guy said he understood and sent me a 20% off coupon to help on the ID's. That's pretty awesome.

Yea damn near every time I call in they offer a discount. A while back I called in bc they had the AM90 Marshmallow listed on their site prior to drop and they only had a few sizes so I was asking wtf the deal was. Girl couldn't figure it out so gave me 10% off. This morning I called in bc I wanted to use that 10% coupon on my AM1 flyknits and the red was SNKRS only. Girl had me order them on SNKRS and then she went in and adjusted it. They went from $171 shipped to $154 shipped. Then I called back to see how long the ID's would be up and dude sent me this:
Let me know when you place your order and as promised I will go back in and adjust the pricing for you.
As always thank you for being apart of the Nike family. If you need any help from me on any current or future orders I would be more than happy to assist you personally. Make sure to not delete this email and to reply to this email so that you may come in contact with me directly.
Have a great day and hope to hear from you soon
Sincerely,
Anthony

**** like that is why I always try to go straight through Nike rather than another site.

btw as for actually answering my question, he said the ID's stay up as long as they have the material. He said it was centered around the Olympics or anything. It's all about when they run out of the ish needed to make a given option. That's when it goes away. He said sometimes they'll run out of 1 piece but have enough of other pieces to make 1,000 pairs so they'll order more of that one but for the most part they just run until they are out.

Some of them have already sold out in a few sizes. The really bold colors will sit but the red, oreo, and black/blue will sell well imo.

Man, these Flyknits AM1's are going to be huge. Wait until the iD pics start floating around.
Nike hit a home run with these.
Those black/white (Oreo) are super clean. I'm sure I will be getting a few Flyknits this summer/fall

Sweet talking worked. Told them they need a countdown on iD for when an item will be done, either that or email people who have them in their carts for a last minute heads up before it's gone bc I know I would have ordered more iDs numerous times if that was the case and they said they would put a request in for it. And I said I've been ordering iDs since 2006 and did a bespoke and they gave me the 20% off code haha hell yes
Thank you Terranae !

Just messing around I made these....
I like em for some reason...
IMO these would look better with white midsole.

Awesome to hear all of these success stories. I was able to get one last week after receiving the OG Spiridons with a filthy midsole. They offered 20% since they were sold out.

The options for the Flyknit AM1s are really good. I really like the Black tongue for the two tone upper option. It's just the Ultra sole that's keeping me away...

What sucks is they screwed up the Canadian Flag, I feel like it should be either just the leaf, no background or make a proper Canadian Flag with the red border on the sides.
Here's my Canadian version to your USA's...
On the topic of discount codes from NDC, I had a 15% that expired today, it was 07/28/16, but it was already inactive when I tried to use it this morning, so I asked them for another code, got a new one that expires Jan, 2017

Must have been hard for Nike to add the red left and right borders. Just like the bird for the Mexican or the sun and stars for the Philippines and so on.

Here are a few non USA I was messing with.
I dig these but too similar to the GR pair
This pair has an orange swoosh but you wonder what the color will be, the eyelet is the same color but it pops a lot more, wonder if the color changes bc of the flyknit side panel.It almost looks red or like a rust orange not team orange
Tempted to make a pair with a two tone colored flyknit...this pair screams Halloween but I kinda dig em

Dope! Can't wait to try them on in a few! I'm stoked to see your top pair when they come in. As far as an iD thread - I don't mind us talking iDs in here!

These are nice if the gold swoosh turns out right. Sometimes I find the gold ID options don't come out as metallic as they should, if these are like Kobe Elite ID's though

Just tried these on at Nike.
The sole on these feels far more comfortable than the Ultra Essentials. I'm not sure if it's a different insole but these felt closer to the AM1 Lunar which was a huge plus IMO. Extremely plush.
I'm sticking with my regular AM1 size (11.5). I tried an 11 but my toes were stretching out the Flyknit.
Overall very happy with these. I'll be placing an order tonight for my own version of the USA's. It was very tempting to grab the OG Reds but I have multiple 20% codes for NDC and it just didn't make sense to pull the trigger for the immediate satisfaction.
One last thing- the heel and toe on these are a translucent rubber. Not necessarily the ice soles seen on Jordan's that will yellow but they definitely weren't solid colors. It was barely noticeable though.

Is 11.5 true to size for you? Or are you one of those guys who vary from shoe to shoe?
- 2,597

11.5 is TTS for me with Nike runners. There's a few models that I go 1/2 up or down with though.
Here's some examples for reference:
AM1: 11.5
AM90: 11.5
Zoom Spiridon: 11.5
Presto: L or 11
Flyknit Racer: 12
Hope that helps.
