The first thing I noticed when I picked up my first pair of racers is how light they are in comparison to any other shoe. I thought the trainers were light, but the racers are on a different level.For people who own both the racer and the trainers, what are some of the big differences? I own two pair of trainers, but I am tempted to pick up a pair of racers.

Also, none of the racers have a padded heel collar so it gives you more of that "socklike" feeling. The racers are also a bit tighter around the middle of your foot. Regardless, I found that going the same size as the trainers fit perfectly for me.
In comparison to the trainers, the racers' knitting has a lot more gaps, allowing for better ventilation and flexibility throughout the shoe. It still feels sturdy though.
To me, those are the only "big" differences of the two shoes. Maybe I'm missing some things that a fellow NTer would like to point out. You should definitely buy a pair of the racers. Trainers used to be my favorite Flyknits but I think the Racers have finally won me over
Aside from the visual difference, racers are actually more comfortable compared to the trainers. Racers have more ventilation as you can see on the toebox as well as the entire lateral side (all those holes). The soles are also different. Racers have more grip and traction versus the trainer. Lastly, the racers are lighter than the trainer by just a tad bit.For people who own both the racer and the trainers, what are some of the big differences?

I'm the opposite. The Racers feel less stable. My foot feels like it's sitting on top of the shoe whereas the Trainers I feel like my foot is in the shoe.Aside from the visual difference, racers are actually more comfortable compared to the trainers.

Anyone messing with these for $60?

edit: I have a $40 or $50 voucher for Wiggle which is why I can get them for $60.
98How much total, if you don't mind me asking?
I'd save it for some of the new CWs as long as it doesn't expire
