Same here. Oval laces remind me of SB Kevlar laces or something. Also, I think the Flyknits low profile design looks better with a flat lace. Just my opinion though.

Will be doing the midsoles as well, just like the trainers in the previous page but a different color.

Your opinion, not trying to argue what's better. Bedsides not like I'm keeping the flats. They are in the box.

Anyone know of any places around the bay area carrying 9.5 racers (pref oreos)?
All I can get my hands on are a crimson/black pair if anyone wants to trade DS.

For the record I've done comfort test on both these shoes and the ZX flux do not feel like bricks.
If anything overall my foot feels better after removing the zx flux after 6 hours of walking.
Strictly bottom of the foot comfort for 6 hours may go to the flyknit by a little bit.
But both are no where near the top in terms of long term comfort for hours. Maybe short periods of time I guess.
Anyway my point was just that they aren't like bricks

Replaced OG laces on my blk/wht trainers with flat black laces and i think FKs look better with flat laces.

I been here long enough to know that. I'm not running in these besides ribbon aren't that good either unless you double tie. Had the ribbons become untied plenty of times. Nike got rid of the ribbons also starting with the multi trainer and all new lunar 2's.

thats what i use. i put them in my other shoes, and i had a few extra, so i thought i might as well try them on my flyknits. it may stretch them a bit for those with wide feet, but its more aesthetically pleasing than anything else. most of my shoes i keep in container store shoe bins too. most of my flyknits are on shelves, but i put my favorites in the bins too just for display. im kinda ocd haha.

For those that are using shoe trees, I'm really curious to know why? I understand the need on dress shoes to keep it's shape, but for flyknits the upper instantly gives in as soon as I run a few miles in them. Then again, I prefer that the upper molds to my feet and not stretch out beyond what's necessary.
In regard to the laces, I've run in all three and haven't had any of them untie during my runs. The OGs are definitely the most aesthetically pleasing. The flat ribbons look bad and after a couple of wears look even worse with the crimping. The best of both worlds (IMO) are the laces that came with the MC trainers. Flat with some nice thickness to them and they don't look bad after a few wears. Here's a pic of all three for comparison:

YES! The flat laces from the LGs or FRs are the best!
