White Flyknit Trainers came...... CLOUD 9 ON MY FEET. MIGHT BE BETTER THAN THE ROSHES.
Gotta buy more pairs. Gonna rep these for sure. #FlyknitCrew

It doesn't really make a difference to me, it's not like I'm going to stop wearing the Trainers as a result of the padding or anything, at this point I've accepted it.

Expected the padded heel, but just the color blocking seems a little off to me. Too much white if that's possible.
Still clean just not crazy about them like the other colors.

Really? Are they different than the stock photos or something? If so snap some pics, curious to see what you mean?

The mc trainers were my first pair with padding. They definately throw off the look but I can feel the purpose for Nike putting it on and its actually really comfortable. I agree that they look too white but the black swoosh would look too much like the racers. who will be first to paint them black? im too scared lol but they are trainers so whats not to like!

the purpose is so that one uniform upper can be produced economically for two different shoes, the flyknit trainer and flyknit lunar 1.

In terms of comfort yes. I found Roshes to be my go to shoe in terms of comfort and these Flyknits are potentially better in terms of my own personal comfort.Comparing Flyknit Trainers to Roshes

Depend what you want man. I find both have their uses.
If I"m in the mood for the carefree, nice big T and sweats type comfort, I'm going roshes.
If I'm going for that nice tight, conforming comfort, I'm going flyknits. They are literally like socks with a zoom air sole attached to it.

I feel you. if you had to choose one for a quick trip somewhere, could you run/train in roshes?
I think the versatility of flyknit trainers/racers is what gives them the edge.

I've seen plenty of people do athletic activity in Roshes.
I'm partial to Flyknits because I love the design and whatnot but Roshe's are great because they are flat out simple, no nonsense BS
Quick trip as in vacation? If you're going on vacation, I would choose the Roshe's hands down because theyre just cheaper.
You can get Black/Sail Roshe's for $57 shipped. Head over to the Roshe thread for the link

This^^
I am a huge fan of both shoes. All I have to say is Flyknits are and should be better for more than double the price of Roshes. Roshes are just simple and comfortable for $70, you cant ask for more. While, Flyknits are just at another level.

my left pair on my trainers seems to be "squeaking" every time I put pressure on it. not really a biggie, was just curious on why this happens. Any ideas guys?

try putting some powder under your insoles.

is it because of the nike+ sensor area under the insole? my pair was a little annoying at first cause i couldn't get it to stick, but eventually it went away.
if it's not that sensor area, try taking insole out and applying some baby powder to the area where it squeaks and put the insole back in.
