Damn, I got a pair for 170ish last month and thought it was a deal. This is great
I bought a pair full price about six weeks ago 😩
Now $150, oh well.
Outlet malls have them for dirt cheap. I got two separate pairs for 80 and 90 dollars respectively and that was a year ago
or just don't buy Nike's crap at any price.
Really?
Ive never seen them at outlets I’ve gone to. mind me asking where you’ve seen them?
Not "less than" $150. $170 w/tax and shipping.
You can get them cheaper on Ebay. They authenticate so you don't get knock offs. This has been going on for over a year already.
Why not buy a 2nd pair? Don't they only last 150 miles?
Wrong!!!
$149.96
Try again. Different colors different prices.
Here's a 2021 study comparing several elite carbon plated racing shoes against the AlphaFly.
Asics has caught up to Nike but Saucony, New Balance and Brooks are still laggards. The study looked at VO2. The control non-plated shoe was the Asics Hyperspeed.

I loved the original Vaporflys. I really wish they'd make a comeback.
I'm up to 220 miles in mine now but wish I was more careful taking them off a few months ago. I almost tore off one of the heels.... What's wrong with us that $150 is now looking like a great deal (value) for a pair of shoes?

I hear you! but comparing VF2s over $150 versus Brooks Glycerin's or NB 1080s for more money. It's just a no-brainer.
Even the Nike Tempos for $200, is insane. Who's buying those instead of the sale VF2s?

I've bought 3 pairs of Nike Tempos at an average of about $100; I've worn two of them but grabbed. My 2 Vaporflies have averaged around $150; I've worn only one of them. Tempos for tempo runs on trails (fairly smooth trails, not technical), vaporflies for workouts on track and road. Have yet to race in the vaporfly.
These can now be found for $98 online.
I burned all my garbage Nike gear. I support women. Will never buy Nike again.

I’m with you. I’ve had enough of Nike not supporting women. Hiring a trashy trans non-athlete to sell womenswear to me is just too much.

Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?

How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
