Nike Zoom Vaporfly Elite 2017

[HK47]

Anyone in the US thinking about ordering from an international option such as ProDirect or Distance Athletics (Paris)?

I priced out the Ekiden Invincibles on ProDirect and it was going to be $240 shipped; not worth it to me.

they should be released the first week of april

No delays? I am waiting for them bad boys then!

nah, wait it out

if anything is wrong with the shoe or it doesnt work for you, nike makes the returns hassle free, even if youve ran in them

returning it internationally is gon' be a headache

I think I'm in the minority, but I like the black/chili invincibles. Definitely grabbing from Nike tho. If the shoe sucks, it's going back. That's a bit of cheddar invested.

 

[dgar08]

The color ways are fine. People just like to complain and then when more colors come out they still complain

I love the black/red/mint color way tbh. Black would be next choice but I dig it

Can cart. Can't check out. But the date...

Saw the same projection on my order today - because TX is frozen

Any chances the Streakfly still drops this year? What's the typical schedule once athletes start using them consistently and they show up often on social?

 

[alexfilitti]

Glad you can pronounce Nike. Also enjoyed how excited you were visually during the run!

Thank you for watching! I believe you refer to how French people usually pronounce Nike...well voila An exciting run indeed and the pleasure didn't fade after a few runs. A very pleasant surprise with this shoe!

I think they are getting close to finalizing the prototype. Mo Farah had a red pair a few days ago. Probably wont go into production for awhile..

won't be able to actually get them purchased till nike lets them go live like the tempos
if these are coming from the memphis warehouse, just know there will be a delay in shipping due to the weather. i have some stuff ordered already earlier this week and there still hasn't been any shipping updates

Yeah. I'm not concerned. I have a delayed order as well. There are a lot of difficulties across the Midwest that area way more important than some clothes or shoes. I am cool waiting for any of it.

Before I left the swoosh the release was pencil in for Spring 21, would be shocked if they are not released no later than fall.

On the other hand, VFN BRS edition is now out for members (for me at least)!

 

[alexfilitti]

Not sure people having their Invincible on order still need this comparison, but if it may help others here's my side by side between the Infinity 2s and the Invincible.

Returned the black/chilli Invincible to Nike and bought the black/white pair which I just received. A notable difference is the ZoomX is matte finish like the vaporfly/alphafly, whereas the black/chilli pair has some sort of coating on it with a sheen, much prefer the black white pair.

Thinking of getting some black reflective laces for them and maybe get creative and black out the swoosh lol.

I thought the same thing when I read it. They didn’t care when people complained about it for the marathons...
