So how's the comfort compared to the Flyknit zooms? Much softer? Feels like lunarglides?
I had a pair ZFK Racers, which I purchased for a STEAL (during the Nike F&F) thinking that I'd put some mileage on them and just beat them up, but I was so disappointed with how stiff and sloppy they felt that I resold them for pretty cheap (compared to what's out there). I've been waiting on the arrival of the F1s to compare and contrast the Zoom system to a Lunar with the FKs. Today was that day.
I finally got to try the F1s on, and the difference between them and the ZFKs (Racer and Trainer) is noticeable. I really felt the Lunar bounce/responsiveness as I pronated / took steps, which was something I felt that the ZFKs lacked. Just as the F1's midsole looks like the LG4's with the density Lunar and all, it also feels very similar.
For me, F1s fit TTS. I definitely rank the comfort of F1s much higher than the ZFKs, as the extra sockliner and Lunar tooling play a big role, obviously. However, the LG4s feel like more comfier shoes to me with the EM mesh all over. The tongue and forefoot feel is basically identical to the ZFK Trainers, which isn't bad. I actually really like the look of ZFK Trainer upper. I'd have a nice collection of ZFKs if they felt good, but they didn't make my cut, so I'm GLAD that Nike revised them with Lunar tooling and the extra sockliner. With that said, I'm looking forward to copping several F1 cws!
