Those Electric Green Trainers up there are real. I don't think they even make fakes of those, and even if they did I doubt they'd make em in a 5.5

Why did i buy the chlorines when I could have waited to cop the Olympic pair? I can't justify copping them with a blue pair already

I also ran in my acai's straight out the box when i got them from RRS. 5 miles in and they're far more comfy for running than casual wearI 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?

I agree, I'm pretty picky with my running shoes and when I got my first pair of racers, I did a couple strides in them an decided to race a half marathon 2 days later in them pretty much straight out of the box

Agreed. I prefer running in FKRs and LunaRacers, pretty much have relied on these two models for running since Nike stopped making the Zoom Victory (it was a good runner for its time)They're racing flats, so don't expect them to put you on Team Cozy
Lunar and/or Boost (so I've read) are better options if you want comfort.
Tried running in Pure Boosts but too much bounce for my liking. Maybe I didn't give them an unbiased chance.

Why are you guys running in your racers? We all know real runners don't use racers!

I prefer the Ultra Boost for comfort. Primeknit > Flyknit / Boost > Lunarlon.... Primeknit is stretchy and soft. The flyknit on the Racers and Lunars is stiff. As far as Boost goes, it is the GOAT of cushioning.

Agree with all of this. However Racers/Trainers/Flyknit Lunars all take the cake aesthetically imo.

In regards to the ID comment someone made a few pages back I always wondered why they don't. Has to be because u can't easily make the weave and linings customizable or something. Because I'm SURE they know they would've made a killing already. Since it's one piece and no panels seems like it would be difficult to ID. But then again they have KOBE ID etc...

the more and more I see turqs the less impressed I am with them. Hopefully I want to keep them once they are in hand tomorrow.

I think it just goes back to what den mentioned a year or so ago, with Nike being surprised by the demand. Nikeid with Flyknit is not a problem as they have many models. With the Flyknit max coming to is this summer with its probable $265+ price tag, Nike will probably gauge interest as to how much of a thirst there is for a Flyknit ID. I don't think it is a manufacturing problem as much as it is a "they didn't realize the demand" problem.

the demand for fkr are pretty much dead... the only color that will sell out is the multicolors... every other color will sit

I think b/w combos w/o volt would be a hit as well.

I think it's because Nike finally mass produced these, every stores got them in mass quantity these days.
Plus it doesn't help that RRS is spoiling everyone, RRS has now become a household name in the racer community and no one is buying the racers until it's discounted.
Crazy to think not long ago people were happy when they can buy a "popular" pair of racers at retail.

True but not the og B/W or a reverse W/B like the trainers. I consider the Oreos a gray CW.
