    Hilarious, looks like the hypebeasts are buying the ugly multi-color pair.

    I'm having a hard time deciding between the yellow pair, black/photo blue, or the black/green. Women's pairs have some pretty good colorways too.

    Grabbed a pair with a 20% off code. 

    If they end up sitting for a while, theyre going straight back and I'll wait for them to hit the outlets for sub-$100

    Nike also said "limited numbers at launch" so we'll see what happens with that

    Looking forward to giving these a shot. I put in 600km on my Flyknit 2s, and about 250 on my 3s(don't like them as much). The epic seems more structured thanks to the heel counter. That was probably my biggest problem with the 3 for running--lack of structure--my foot felt like it wasn't contained at all.

    The wide laces look bad on these. Definitely need to switch to round laces like vomeros have.

    Eh. Depending on the comfort/fit reviews I may grab ONE pair at retail. But I'm hoping these will hit clearance.

    Aesthetically, they look great from these views. The midsole doesn't really look too clunky from behind. Maybe the clunkiness is kind of an illusion because of the way the upper is?


    That's definitely my favorite colorway. Too bad it's women's and the size 12s will sell out before I decide to pull the trigger or not.

    Yellow Strikes are my favorite amongst the launch cws! Some of the cws remind me of the Flyknit Lunar Chukkas.

    It seems like they fit like the Free Flyknit 5.0 (original), as Nike suggests going up a 1/2 size for a roomier fit.

    Is it just me or do the laces on these look goofy?

    I'm guessing those will be a part of a pack/collection. There are FL3s, LT2s and LG7s in a very similar cw scheme.

    I just can't get on board with these. Too much with that ankle collar.

    I want to like these, but I feel the same about the collar. I wonder how they look with it folded down... 👀

    Can't get with these that collar and the clunky midsole ruin the shoe for me, and for that price the performance better be top notch.

    Yeah, I copped too. Can't wait to try them out. I know it's probably the most neutral/boring colorway, but it's the cleanest to me. Hides some of peculiarities of the shoe lol

    the midnight pack colorway looks nice

    there are a lot of different colorways planned for the lunarepic, and for anyone that doesn't like the mid collar, there is supposed to be a low version

    As with all nike shoes I buy, I do a few runs in em and if I don't like.... Bring it back for a full refund. I'm a sucker for lunarlon. Hope they perform well. Couldn't attend the Nike Running event so grabbed the Multi online. Sizes are running out. BNTL!!

    Talked to one of the running experts on Nike Chat and they told me the MP stood for Midnight Performance. At first I thought it was for Mark Parker and that it was a colorway he designed and they were just using his initials to signify this. Anyways got a pair of the MP's and they gave me free two day shipping since I talked with a chat rep about it. Worth a try for others.
