Flyknit Chukka Thread

Beasts are some serious S**** right now.  Remember the Olympic Flyknit FSB that sat.... much better looking shoe IMO.  These new ones selling that quick at $200 a pop.  SMDH.

 be calm my brethren...nike always does this, I guarantee a FSR will pop up soon and there will be plenty available.  BTW, free sole > lunar 
 
So I refreshed the page a couple of times and snagged a size 12.  My TTS is 12, but I really wanted a 12.5.  I hope I end up liking these.

Actually I hope my order gets shipped.  I've ordered from NDC before through a similar mad rush and got the order confirmation email, but 3 days later the order was cancelled. :/

Anybody get these in person? How do they run? I normally wear 11 but I wear a 10.5 in the FSB. I got these in a 10.5 because the upper looks identical. Hope I didn't screw up by sizing down
 
why on earth people would ppl pay more (200) than a regular chukka for a free sole version. either nike held back stock to hype these up or people aint about that comfort life
 
The free flyknit SPs fit about a half size larger than the regular chukkas. I don't think would go down a full size on these like the FSBs. They seem to be a little bit wider in the forefoot just due to it being a 5.0 sole now.

I ended up getting my normal chukka size because I did not know any better.  I feel like they are perfect with a thicker pair of socks.  I do like my chukkas snug, i even steam them to fit a little more snug.  If you have a wide foot then these will prob feel a lot better to you.  If i were to do it again I would go a half size down.  Surprisingly the 5.0 sole didn't take too much comfort away either.

This is the best I could do to show difference in size from the outside of the shoe. The insert that came in my SP fits loosely in the shoe like it's too small but I don't notice it.

There's more than one way to answer this, but IMO it really comes down to personal preference.

I copped these instead of the lunar chukkas because I think the styling of the free sole is better, since it's not as clunky.
 
Just copped from Blends.  Wear a 10 in Chukka, Racer, and Lunar.  Bought a 9.5 for similar fit.
