Those are custom one offs that were given to me from an Olympian friend of mine who is sponsored by Nike. He wore them for one race and then gave them to me

It's a Chlorine upper on top of a Zoom Marathoner sole (zoom in the heel, not in the forefoot). As the name suggest, the sole is more more durable to to withstand marathon distances. A lot of marathoners tend to be midfoot or heel strikers. That is why the zoom is in the heel on these.
thanks for sharing thats pretty dope. 
 
Looking for some feedback. I love the colorway of flyknits but the comfort IMO is lacking. I can't imagine running in flyknits. Has anyone replaced the insole? Is there a break in period? How many people wear flyknits without socks?

Debating if I should send Oreo 1.0 back to Nike.

Have you tried running in them yet? They are very good in my opinion. But they are also designed to be lightweight. Flyknit Lunar 3's are way more comfortable if that's more important to you.

Not sure what kind of insole you could drop in the racers.. the insole they come with is pretty thin. I imagine a dr scholl's insole would raise the foot too much? No idea though...

I LOVE running in them! I've got 39mi so far on my Acais. I'll be shooting for at least 104mi for February. Racers, IMHO, feel better when you RUN in them. They felt great right out of the box for me.

I think I've only worn the Racers less than 10 times casually, as they're too FIRM for casual wear, IMHO. I really wonder how most of you guys wear them casually. Don't they hurt your feet? :nerd:

I been wearing the Racers only for casual wear, I have never used them for the gym or running. The shoes that I have been wearing to the gym are the scream green huaraches and the free flyknit 5.0.

Didn't really like how it felt when running on it, preferred my old LunarGlide 3.
 
They're racing flats, so don't expect them to put you on Team Cozy :tongue:

Lunar and/or Boost (so I've read) are better options if you want comfort.

I'm not running just wearing for casual walking comfort is lacking IMO
Oh, I find walking alright but seem to make my feet a bit more "tired" after long hours, don't know how to put it.

Like it feels very comfy from the start but if it's long day of walk, it starts to make my feet tired, unlike my old LunarGlide which was great for running or walking for long.

Just started wearing my first Ultra Boost though as I threw away the LunarGlide which I had for like 3 years plus.

Ripped How do you like the ultra post? I'm currently running in lunarglide 6. Due to the comfort it's hard to get use to how racers feel on feet.

Mine was the LunarGlide 3, lime colored.

Loved it to bits, because it was my first "running" shoe, which I actually bought for gym use, and started running more. It was "revolutionary" to me back then, first time having such a comfy shoes haha.

Ultra Boost is very springy which is very comfy, but the upper is so snug for me, I guess the problem is there's no US13.5 which I can size up half to. I tried playing basketball on all 3 and Boost is the best though, the response is very quick due to snug fit of the upper. Where as Racers felt like a shoe where I can only run on a straight line at fast dash, maybe that's why it's called Racer in the first place lol, because when you try to change direction too fast, the upper kinda lets your feet move a bit and makes it slower for me.

But I'm no pro or huge running fan, so all of the above are just what I felt and how best I can describe it.

All of them are great shoes though, especially with the price you can get at RRS now for the racers plus the available choices of colors, definitely no thinking needed to consider buying it.
