Just saw the monochrome setup in person today. Really don't like how they applied the swoosh. Early pairs kept a subtle swoosh, refresh pairs got a piece of plastic slapped on the side :smh:
How does NIke break down allocations/distribution for drops like this? Is it for the entire EU region as a whole? Or are there smaller regions within?
Put another way, am I competing with all of the size 13s in Europe? Or just in one specific country/area?
The Flight V mashup is out of nowhere! I haven't really decided if I like them or not, I've just been in state of pleasant surprise ever since I first saw them.

I posted about this awhile back in this thread. I did something similar, but only on the lateral sides alongside my pinkie toe. Worked out well enough for me - hope it did for you as well!
I think it’s fairly likely that when they got the OK to proceed with three tech-heavy, high msrp, non-signature models, part of the conversation was “let’s see how year one goes before we commit to anything further.” Year one just went REALLY well for one of the three models :lol:
