factory laces or RLS round laces?

Compared to the OG laces, the RLS are too skinny. They look ok on racers, but not so much on trainers.

I actually don't mind them for both. on feet, they look great.. they look best on cw's that have black tongue.. 
I've been on the fence for a while now about the RLS laces... I have about 4 pairs that I'd do the swap, but is $4 each really worth it? I need a coupon code lol

can't really tell yah if they are or not, depends on how much you like the look. I do prefer them over the flat laces esp on Racers.. I did purchase 15pairs of RLS round laces on their recent restock so that prolly tells yah that I like 'em..

 at the end of the day, it's all personal preference.

Yeah, the main reason for me swapping is actually because the ribbon laces always come undone on me. It's pretty annoying. I do like the rope look but they do look a tad too skinny....

I actually prefer the rope laces. In my opinion these racers are pretty ugly but the laces help and I think your idea of painting the tongue black on these will make them look significantly better. I'd like to see how this turns out.

difference in opinion, but it's cool.. this cw is one of the ones I was looking forward to pickin' up. I have passed on several cw's the past releases but these were a must have for me. only a few other ones I'm looking forward to hopefully pick up this year. with the growing popularity of Racer's, it's getting harder and harder to copp the sought after colors, esp neutrals. just glad I was able to grab the older cw's when it was a little easier to copp. I can only imagine the craziness when the mc 2.0's release.

yeah def post up the pics when you paint the tongue and outsole.. I think this color way needs some other colors to create some contrast

Can someone tell me the difference between trainers and racers
Aside from the aesthetic differences, Racers have Zoom in the forefoot only, while Trainers have it in both the forefoot and heel.

Besides the obvious spelling differences, racers are meant for racing, while trainers are meant for training! 
Kinda true. Despite the name, the Trainers are a running shoe. They're definitely suitable for training/gym use though.

will definitely.. thanks for the feedback nonetheless. I also still need to get my Univ Red customed as well. those I'm looking forward to seeing the end result as well. summer can't come soon enough..

RRS is a running apparel company. They don't cater to people like us. They're probably used to having their stock for shoes sit for months, not sell out/oversell on pre-order before they even receive their shipment. Yeah it's frustrating, but you guys gotta give them a break.

Nah.

I sort of know what you're saying, but its inexcusable. I know of resellers on ebay who don't have physical stored or any type of sophisticated programs to keep track of inventory do a much better job than RRS.

Its ok if they don't want to cater to us. Just don't show stock being available or do pre-orders and not be able to control how many pairs they could fulfill. Its comical.
 
 
so RRS, LukesLocker & RunnersRoost no longer carry Flyknit Racers... what's the deal? [emoji]128530[/emoji]
Hopefully at least RRS carries some of the future releases. Last time I seen Racers on Lukes Locker was the MC.
