Is anybody wearing them right now? What do you think of them? What is the longest run you would do in them?

do you think they could add anymore names to that?
Could add the word "Stinky" after Zoom or Swift.
took them out for a 'test' run the other day, liked the forefoot zoom air unit, VERY nice ride
the heel height isn't that much lower than traditional training shoes and the weight IS lighter than traditional
the one drawback that I've found, and it's consistent with some of the lighter NIKE training shoes (Spiridon, Elite, and now Swift Vapor) is that they use duralon rubber on the outside of the forefoot. these shoes are engineered to promote faster running but at the same time they've made them with a less durable rubber so that the shoes don't hold up to regular training loads.
my elites don't last 100 miles, so I can't train in them regularly, I feel it would be the same with the Swift Vapor. If I didn't work at a running store and get a sweet discount, I don't think that I'd be training in them tomorrow :-)
The other drawback for these aforementioned models, they don't keep them in the line-up for too long. I KNOW that the Swift Vapor is NOT in the Winter '04 catalog
Are there the same as the Zoom Swift Milers that were shown on a post a while back?

They look very similar
The Swift Miler is the next generation of the Swift Vapor. It looks like they are fixing that durability problem with the Milers. In the pictures at least, it looks like they have a full carbon rubber outsole. Nike could change this from thses prototypes to the production version, but lets hope they don't.
I'm affriad the Zoom Miler is simply not ugly enough for Nike to release at this time...given the Zoom Elite and now Zoom Swift Vapor, not to mention the horrible Shox NZs, Nike are most likely looking at anyway to add neonpurple, silver, and shag orange to the Miler before its release.
Nike running: Testing the bounds of just how ugly you can make a product and still get people to buy them.
Actually the milers are due to hit the market in mid June.
Friend had them and the air unit in the heel popped within 2 weeks of light training on dirt and pavement.
