mine were padded, ordered some new balance laces since I hate the ribbon ones

can you post a picture of it? aside from the pad, is there much of a difference between the non-padded and padded ones? in terms of shape, is there a big difference?

thanks

all these arrived this week. and got 2 pairs of volt/black coming in next week from NDC. couldn't believe how late i started collecting flyknit and got most for under retail!! probably gonna let go of my orange, green, and extra pair of volt though. shame i can't keep all of them since i want the chukka's also. let me know if anyone needs those 3 color in size 8.

i looked them over at first, but the more i see the total orange. the more i want them in my size. respect on a nice collection. im guessing you're looking forward to the Volt restock to finish it off?
 
Honestly, the total orange is super nice. I wear my pair everyday, sometimes casual and sometimes for workouts and running

I know for sure marathon sports in Boston downtown where the bombing happened has many sizes. I bought a size 11 for my brother yesterday.

Tell me you're joking, I don't wanna have to take that NYC to Boston trip. Prices? And do they do phone orders?

apart from the obvious, no. Fit and feel is pretty much the same, those who say otherwise have some sort of placebo effect going on.

Looking to snag my first pair of flyknits, any help? (Size 9-9.5)

Won a pair of Orange Racers for $85 shipped on eBay and the seller has been flakey so it's not looking too good with those. Holding a pair of black/white trainers on NDC cart for last resort copping.

But I'm at least tryna get it a smidge lower than retail. I'm not cheap or anything just over stocked with shoes at the moment so I won't feel as bad about another pair if I don't have to pay $150+ for em. Thanks in advance

That's exactly how I felt last summer because I couldn't see myself paying $150 for these when $10 more I could get Jordans. Now it's the other way around. Nike is the cheapest spot for that color and the whites. If you really like the flyknits, get it before you regret it. It's only going to get harder for the original ones.


PS- just got a new pick up will post picks when they arrive

Yup. Nowadays before I spend money on any Js I think to myself "Nah. This is Flyknit money." :nthat:

For all my heads that ordered their red pairs from WIGL, how long was the wait for you guys before it got to your crib?

I'm trying to estimate as to when my pair will be coming in.

Located in NY if anything.

Not joking. You should call and confirm and find out shipping. I asked for 10.5 and 11 and he brought both sizes in orange. They had volts there too. It's retail but better than Egay. Good luck fam

Thats exactly what i told a friend of mine.

And then he showed me the blisters on his heel from running in a non-padded FKT. He now runs (like me) in a padded FKT, and is not getting blisters/cuts.
 
Every one is different I suppose, but I've ran/crossfit/insanity/lifted/walked miles casually in nonpadded ones without problem or blistering

Me too. I don't get blisters from my non padded FKTs even though I do use my padded version more often. I guess my buddy has lady like ankles...

 Kidding (I know you're reading this)

But to be on the safe side for anyone looking to buy their first pair of FKTs for RUNNING (not casual wear)...I'd try the padded version first.

I rather spend $150 on a well put COMFORTABLE running shoe then a Jordan sneaker made out of "pleather" that gets restocked every 3 months.. And for the dude that asked for the link of the USA samples, I can't find it no where now. I'll post a pic when I find them..
 
So the whites from Nike come with ribbon laces? Trying to see if I need to order laces for those too or just my black and white pair. Also what length did you guys buy 40?

thanks. my 2 pairs of volt just came in today so i'm definitely done with trainer's for now. i'm already letting go 1 of my 2 pairs of volt to a member on here since i can't afford to keep both right now. i'm hoping for a future restock for volt with padding. and volt is for sure the best looking cw to me. the orange is actually really nice but not really suitable for me so i'm letting that and the electric green go also. just fyi, the orange is extremely bright in person. didn't seem that way in picture until i got them in hand.

fit is definitely the same. the difference for me is the top part of the back is pretty sharp and cuts me even thru thick socks, which is why i prefer padding.
 
Hi all. Is suppastore.com legit? Has anyone ordered from them? Is shipping fast?

Thanks !!!!

REPP'D! Just got off the phone with them. Placed my order on Volt Racers for $150. You were a big help bro
 
Saw that the restocked white/black pairs from NDC seem to be padded. I prefer the Non-padded version (got my volts in this week from NDC warehouse and they fit SNUG AF, but The non padded has a nice feel to it, and looks good sockless, as I will be wearing these STRICTLY casually), and I'm curious if the pairs still left on Run.com are the non-padded (again for the White/black CW) version, since they seem to have been on there a while... Anybody with any insight on this?
 
I bought my pair from Run.com and they are the padded version. I've come to realize that people don't read this thread AT ALL the same information has been asked and posted on here for like 10 pages lmfao
