Yeah even though this was a “chore” I will say at least the rituals were wholesome and good for you as a human being so I can’t really argue with it much.

Using devices less, getting some physical activity, going outside, reading are all good things we should do more of. I’m going to continue doing more reading for sure.
Son trying for more pairs. I respect that 🤣
 
Crazy that resell prices are still so high even though if you pretty much signed up and did a few days seems like your atleast getting a pre order invoice. Be interesting to see where it settles at

Until the shoes get delivered, there’s still a scarce amount in public right now. Once all these get delivered, I’m sure resell will drop significantly.
 
have a friend that quit after the 1st week, and got invoiced a pair lol and it’s ready to ship. Granted she’s a size 6 so probably very little competition. I’m a big advocate on not jumping thru hoops for shoes. This was a huge work for your shoe situation and this is the most I ever done for 1 pair of shoes but it did paid off. Even if you’re a reseller, you still had to do the same tasks and technically earned the right to purchase. So I do have to applaud Tom for getting people engaged in activities that rewarded the shoe no matter if you did all challenges or only did the ones you can do.
 
^^Nike does it for NikeByYou all the time



They fit me kinda big. I tried on a friends 8.5, and I’m a 9-9.5. So I put size 9. Every foot is different, so hopefully they work out? They didn’t say a timeframe to my knowledge. Just early ‘26.

Wait, why did you still enter a 9 if you tried a pair of 8.5 and it fit big?

I feel like if you're regularly an active person that this is easy, no?
 
I have 345 points will i still get a pre order link?
You would of already got it.. check your junk mail.. but I donnt think EVERYONE got them. Ive seen people on reddit not get invoices with really low points but take that with a grain of salt because Ive also seen people with really low scores get invoiced. You can also check the app I think, if the app doesn't show it id log into the isru website and see there just to hit all your bases.

thanks for the reply, probably depends on size, never thought id have a chance with such a low score anyways

Homie had a pair and I wanted to see em on feet. I’m a true 9 - 9.5. They didn’t have a snug-like fit a true 8.5 has. But they were still too small for me. 8.5 wasn’t too big for me.
 
Blessed with a preorder email for a size 10 despite losing 11 points on their post season adjustment to end with 1016.

PHEW!

Are you saying you are a 9-9.5 and you tried on a friends pair that was 8.5? Were they too small or too big?

I was mad confused too, but I think what he's trying to say is that as a size 9-9.5, the 8.5 he tried on doesn't feel like how an 8.5 usually feels on him, which is usually snug. The 8.5 he tried on, although still small for him, feels roomier than how a 8.5 SHOULD feel on him.
 
So when the very first pair came out, I had just moved to Portland. I was busy studying at Pensole when the release was on the horizon. I remember studying for the test and everything cause I was obsessed with this shoe. Well my real class got in the way of the Tom Sach's classes and I missed the release. I wasn't too bummed tho because I was loving my new life/city.

Flash forward to 2025. When I heard about the ISRU process I was full steam on board. I knew for sure that I would do every single challenge and ensure that I would be in the top running for my pair. I had waited so long. I would say about a month in, my life changed drastically. I was offered a new coaching job at a local high school I could not pass up. I was on cloud 9. But my whole world came crashing down soon after when my best friend of 15 years, my dog Favrey, passed away. It has been one of the hardest things I have ever had to deal with and am still dealing with. That little guy was my entire heart and soul.

So naturally, I stopped trying on the ISRU app. I didn't have it in me. Between my new job and sudden loss, I couldn't focus on much else. So it was to my surprise and delight that they actually still sent me a preorder email with just over 660 points amassed. I'm ok with waiting. That doesn't bother me. I've learned to just appreciate everything a lot more and I am thankful they seeded more pairs to ppl who really wanted them.

Hug your fur babies extra close tonight.
 
We still uplaoding challenges or nah? With a sz 9 figured I would get preorder but kimda bummed I wont have them for awhile
