Go back to page 11, check out the colors and then read page 11-19 and then you will be caught up and be in the know. All the information is in this thread, you just have to look for it.
Late July goes until next week.

I know.  I have been following the Flyknits closely for months.  I started a thread over on ISS.  I am just very surprised we have not seen an official announcement from Nike with a release date and the upcoming colorways.
 
I DMed NikeStore and they said they will release 7/27. See below... Also, I asked them if it would be online too and they said "Yup. 8AM ET"

I love this thread, I love the fact that everyone is helping each other out. Salute. By the way, I'm Jonas and I'm the guy who interviewed Todd Jordan for complex. I've been on this site for a while lurking and just decided to check the thread out. Be real excited, Nike has some awesome colorways planned for flyknit. There will be a special Olympic colorway that will probably be dropping this week, it's the pair with the blue,green and other colors hues blended in together. That pair is HTM, how do I know? I took the pic and wear tested them. Those will be dropping at 21 mercer, POSSIBLY :wink:. You can find me on twitter: @jonastheprince or Instagram:Jonastheprince say what's up. Peace ya'll.

Thanks Jonas. Great interview and thanks for sharing in this thread. I wish anyone besides New Yorkers had a shot at 21 Mercer HTM's. Can you confirm the coating on the toe box for the color hues blended together Lunar Flyknits? Is it to protect the toebox? Is it a special Nike-tooled Flyknit skate experiment?

This thread is the best that NikeTalk as to offer. Everyone one is bringing a puzzle piece to the table to solve this mystery and helping each other out with store locations, sizing, and reviews. This is a great thread.

I agree.

The latest I heard from my local Fleet Feet is that Nike is having trouble getting the Flyknit's out to retailers in time for the July 27th launch date. Who knows if this is correct but that's what the manager said.

I also think it has been strange with the way Nike has handled this release. It is definitely not the norm. No set release date per say, very little information, no list of shops getting them. In my opinion I think this is due to the fact that Nike has had trouble with production. I think Nike doesnt want to show weakness by admitting that the production machine is very complex and they have had trouble scaling up. I also think that Nike itself is surprised at any type of adversity since they are usually always very successful at what they do. I think with not being able to ramp up production, they implemented PLAN B. They knew that missing the olympics as a promotion tool for the Flyknit technology would be a missed opportunity so they just kept quiet about a real release date and stores to release to. So using what little production capacity they have for Flyknit's, they made Olympic team shoes, Track and Field Trials and HTM releases. This showcases the technology while building demand and keeps them in the news cycle for innovation and earns them some free advertising. Now with this slow and small first general release they can kind of gage demand while they attempt to ramp up production.

Nice!  I am going to go talk to a Nike rep. now to see if I get the same info.

  I have been anticipating this release for far too long! 
 
^Thanks for clearing that up. At least we have some confirmation and I'm glad they said, "Not limited." :smokin
 
^^

I'm pretty sure they're $150 for both the trainer and the runner.

i love this thread.
looks like the ones i wanted might be those blue glow volt trainers. i was hoping ndc might surprise us with some HTMs, but i guess i'll have to settle for these. maybe with the mass release, HTM pairs will resell for cheaper.

This is what I was wishing for. That a mass release would decrease the price of HTM's
 
awesome. wonder if they'll be cheap on swoosh? anyways, i need to get a pair for my dad. he's wanted some ever since he saw my HTMs but i don't love him THAT much :tongue:
 
I noticed some inconsistencies with photos for the Flyknit Trainers. Here is the widely-reported color-ways:

700


But in these next two photo's the swoosh's are black:

Also, It is being reported that these color-ways will be release in the Fall, versus 1/1/2013 as posted in here. I wonder which is true?

Based on the tweet nike replied to me with I think some of those colors will release on friday hence the term "slew" they used.
 
Just need a pair of Volt Racers and a pair of Volt Trainers come Friday. Hoping Swoosh comes through for us Swooshers!
