OP just curious but did anyone email you about the shoes? Not including all the spam mails you may have received
Unfortunately, no. Considering the size and reach of letsrun, I thought for certain someone might be willing to sell a pair to me. I don't want them for any nefarious means to take them apart or anything. Just want to put on a pair, and go rip it up a bit. I'm just a big shoe/spike nerd that loves to run.
Did you get spammed at all?
Actually you could try and contact trackandfieldclothes or others on instagram or facebook to see if he can get one for you. He sells apparel but occasionally shoes but they're usually stuff that athletes have been wearing for awhile. Wouldn't hurt to try.

No, no spam thankfully. I appreciate the suggestion. Still hoping someone will come through here for me. Surely after this last weekend there are some size 10's floating around.
I emailed Running Warehouse about this and they said they are not exactly sure when the shoes will come in, or how many they will get. They are not accepting pre-orders.
If you're still interested in getting a pair a guy on instagram said he can get it for $400. I don't think it's worth it considering the release date is only a couple of weeks away, and I'm not sure if he's just bluffing or if he actually can get it. If you do find someone like that always make sure to have him send you a paypal invoice so that if he does send you a rock you can have paypal cover the cost and you will get your money back.

Happen to have the IG link/poster? Sounds like something I'd be interested in too.
his IG is trackeliteclothes . It's a private account but follow him and he should accept and then DM him about it. But if you do buy regardless of if I trust this guy or not, you should always pay the extra couple of bucks for paypal invoices so that if the package gets lost, or he sends something incorrect then paypal will pay for it. He says he only has a 10.5 right now

Any news?

I got the shoes and they are now back in china being reverse engineered.

That wasn't me above, by the way. Pretty funny though. I never heard back from him after exchanging a couple messages with him.
that's weird. He seemed like he wanted to sell it, but I guess it's kinda too late now since it's coming out in like 6 days haha
The 4% has been delayed. Launch date TBD.
I know a store in Olympia WA taking pre-orders
Did you hear that from the store in Olympia or is it delayed everywhere?
Exactly, anyone with these shoes would be better off selling them to a Nike competitor for big bucks rather than a little trade with a private seller.

Nikeman's self importance aside, guaranteed that at least one person on the "Nike development team" loses their experimental shoes during boston weekend. Those lost shoes miraculously find their way to a Chinese factory to be reverse engineered. Non-disclosure doesn't mean squat these days.
Apparently, they are delayed everywhere and the global launch for the 4% is being postponed.

There really is no race to get prototypes as they are often un-finshed non commercialized product. Brands wait until they are on the shelf to do copy work. Nike as you know will protect every element of the shoe it can so little can be copied.
A few issues must have shown themselves in testing and pushed the product back to fall marathon launch period. You will see more pairs being raced in at World Champs marathon in London.
