Nike Next % and Vaporfly's.. How TF to get them?

eBay.

I am told that Nike will have stock replenished between 2/1/21 to 4/30/21 subject to change of course.

Nike 2 phase marketing . They lose money on the super shoes, and manufacture tons on zoom tempo/fly/turbo , and people buys these .

I think you can buy Custom Vaporflys right now from Nike if you're a Nike Member

Go to Stock X and uncork your wallet.

Eastbay had them in the last week or two. My guess is dicks sporting goods will be next

As of 9/21 at 5:00pm it looks like Gazellesports.com still has some Alphaflys in a few sizes.

Unfortunately for Nike, this isn't 2018 and we actually have decent alternatives now.

Buy some New Balance RCs instead. Possibly some Endorphin Pros.

Nike was ahead of the game for most of the last decade (not just with carbon racers, but daily trainers too). Not anymore!

thank you!

I'm not looking to buy either of these (nor any Nike product) but I have to say you and the masses are going about it all wrong. I live in a rural area. Maybe a thousand people in the county. There's a running specialty store between 40 and 50 miles away. It serves a population of less than a hundred thousand if you count seven counties in two different states. Not exactly the biggest selling retailer in the country. I walk in the a little less than once a year just for curiosity's sake to look around. I stroll in and am not amazed or even surprised to see both of the shoes in question right there on the wall. I don't immediately start drooling and reaching my hand down my pants. I don't sprint over to the shoe wall. I don't consider them special. I don't consider them rare. They are not. The one time I stumble into a random store, they're selling both just as if they're the Brooks Ghost or something. Didn't this store realize people have been pre-ordering/waiting in line all night/depserately bidding last-minute/waiting for the delivery van for months/glued to the LRC message board for any news/getting absolutely desperate and ready to pay $600? I guess they didn't. They simply placed an order, got them, and proceeded to offer them for sale. Right there on the display wall. Right by the asics!

one of my training partners got his at a Nike running store in the mall. For example, here we have Fashion Valley Mall who happens to have them.

You had me going until the part about hands down your pants

Not trying to fool anybody. Absolutely true story. Not looking for them, accidentally found them. You want to go back and re-read. Seeing them in this middle-of-nowhere shop did NOT excite me. I did NOT get turned on. I don't consider them hard-to-find. Certainly did NOT need a hand down there.

Here's the deal. You all can't find then online. You don't see them being sold out of the Beaverton headquarters. So how do you get them? Ditch the internet. Walk into a store. Even the one with the smallest sales figures in the country. I'm not doing that. I do not wish to buy any.

It must be nice being the lone person on the planet that has never purchased anything that someone else would deem utterly nonsensical.

From late 2018 all through 2019 the Flyknit 4% and Next% were available in great abundance but for some reason the supply has dried up in Covid times. It's clear that Nike could make more if they wanted. It's a little ironic that demand is still so high since there are hardly any races happening right now.

Go to goat.com and get them. Only about $35 over retail (plus shipping and tax).

Let me explain why you're wrong. Nike has disappeared from a lot of local running shops. My local stores get a few Pegasus and Structures each season but Nike won't cooperate beyond that. Despite being the biggest retailer in my midwest city, they have NEVER had a Vaporfly in the store.

The trolls is trying to pull your leg. The only thing true is that some stores do have actual stock, while internets say something else.

But what you said is more true = fewer place are allowed to carry them.

And for mr. pants-down, he knows these are a rare shoe and knows that he could just go buy and resell for $100+ on ebay etc so there's either no way or a total moran.
