I prefer the stance running socks now instead.
Use to like the cushioned Nike ones and still use their racing one for example, but stance I find better and use more often.
Yeah, the only Nike socks I use are the racing ones from a couple years ago, but sparingly since they're not known to be durable. For everyday runs, I go with Feetures and Balega.

To be fair the OG 4% didn't last very long either from my own experience. Makes me excited for future innovation atleast

It looks like I'm officially taking running more serious. Signed up for the Berkeley 10K this morning. Also my Streakfly's arrived. Looking forward to running in them tomorrow AM.

Coming up on 100mi in a pair of watermelon Zoom VF Next%; the swoosh graphic is shredding off, but underfoot still feels good

Might be an outlier here, but not really feeling the orange accent proto's as much anymore ... but should imply getting closer to that alpha 3 launch date.

curious....for those that race in carbon-plated racers, what are your longrun shoes?
something durable like pegs or invincibles since you rack up the miles in them, or something plated like zf/vf/af to familiarize with raceday feel?

I just picked up the tekumi Sen for my long run needs but I see a lot of folks using vaporfly or adios pro 2/3 for their long runs/daily’s
for me it depends on the type of long run im doing. long slow/easy runs will typically be in a non-plated shoe and the ones that will incorporate more tempo/faster effort will be in something with a plate
however with super trainers being a big thing as of recent, i may throw those in the mix for my long runs every now and then since they can tolerate the slower paces better than the race day plated shoes

Unless I’m mistaken, you’ve prior experience with shoe development/design at Nike. Curious to get your thoughts as to why they’ve chosen predominantly white with a touch of orange for major running debuts/drops? Seems a bit quiet. I mean, it doesn’t shout “hey, look at me.” What am I missing? Thanks.
