If anyone is vacationing in Disney, they ( Fit2 Run in Disney Springs) had my size ,11, in the blue pair released this past January- this was 2 weeks ago. If they had size 11, I imagine they had many of the other sizes
I can only guess they had pairs because people on vacation don't typically go shopping for running shoes and locals don't go there as it it's quite a far trip from Orlando
I was able to snag a pair of 11s around 9:30 central time on the nike site. Running warehouse and Eastbay are supposed to have them at some point so I would still check there all day. Also, a local running store in my area has a limited supply so you might want to call around too in your area. Best of luck to all trying.
Eastbay has some in stock right now in limited sizes.. no 8.5 or 9 for me.
I have 4 pairs of Vaporfly’s already so probably should not be trying to buy this but it’s a very nice color.
They are now available on runningwarehouse

You know Nike is intentionally restricting the supply because they want people to scalp them, right
"Scarcity marketing" - it's a thing. And it produces results when done "right". It's annoying as hell, but it's a free country.

How do you figure? What would nike find advantageous in people scalping their product. The majority of organizations (artists, musicians, etc) try to prevent scalping. Taylor Swift is a great example of someone fighting scalping. Putting it another way, how do they financially benefit?
Scarcity is not an effective way to maximize profits, it only eliminates exposure.
I have identified a person who does not work in marketing, advertising or sales.

Thank you for the info., I just purchased a pair on Running Warehouse after seeing this. I'm a 13 in Zoom Fly's, hoping that a 12.5 in Vapors fits well.
Thanks! I bought a pair. I love Running Warehouse because they let you use your running club discount code for even the Vaporfly’s... best online running shoe store. I was able to get my Adidas Boston 7 Boston Marathon edition there at a discount too. RW FTW!
Im also a 13 in the zoom and the 12.5 fits perfectly in the vaporfly

Sure. That's why I was asking. Still doesn't change the fact that scalpers are worse than a dirty a$$h0le and you shouldn't support them.

Does anyone else find the Navy colorway to fit tighter than the original? I also found it to be less responsive. Curious to hear of other experiences with this version
I concur. Thought it was just me.
I just dyed mine white .
Same issue here. Tried my friends red ones then bought the blue myself. They are LESS responsive. Very disappointed, considering the cost..

Are you sure the perceived difference in responsiveness isn't just the difference in feel because of the sizing tweaks?
Either way, it's very disappointing when shoe companies make changes to shoes without announcing it.
I find no difference between a new pair of the orange and a new pair of the Navy. After 100 miles on one pair of orange ones, the shoe is much more flexible and the upper has stretched in a a little bit. I find the new ones more responsive.
I got a pair in 8.5, but really need an 8 (unisex/men's sizing).

This is what I don’t get. I think I understand scarcity marketing for collectables, but these are shoes designed to be used and then another pair bought. In the year since they have been released I’ve not been able to get a pair, and have been through 4 pairs of Adios in that time. Only one guy I know has a pair out of a dozen who would buy them if they could. I feel like they haven’t cashed in on the concept, especially if other companies come out with something similar soon.
Can someone who knows marketing explain to me hoe they benefit here?
