Nike 4% release fail

I may buy a pair later in the year to try them, but I just can't understand why Nike made the shoe with a ridiculously high drop? I guess the question is, would the shoe still perform the same if it had a 4mm drop instead of 12mm? For those of us who have been running for years in low drop shoes, running in a shoe with a 10mm drop feels bad -- the heels always getting in the way of natural foot-fall.

Man, why are we still talking about heel drop? Maybe, if fastest runners in the world can run most efficiently with drops, why wouldn't Nike make shoes with heel drops?

Perhaps, running with low drops is not the most efficient way to run? Perhaps, you don't understand the proper running techniques that make having drops to be advantageous?

I added 'Maybe three.' so that other idiots would realize 'I WAS INCLUDING MYSELF.'

I almost thought I was ruining the joke by explaining it, but still YOU didn't get it. You may be dah King of the idiots.

I have a set of 11s brand-new in box if somebody really wants to pay me $350 for them they're there so they didn't fit my feet... they fit true to size

I would also trade for a pair of size 10.5 straight up .

Here is the listing just contact me if you want to trade

Toolbrah: First, Learn how to Spell SKECHERS, Idiot, and they're a great shoe company who ACTUALLY take pride in making there products better. So take a step back and know your facts before saying garbage.

halfast: You on the nike payroll ?

Sounds like he may work for Skechers, to me.

Mine arrived today. I am actually racing an Ironman on Sunday and had them shipped to my hotel (it was free overnight shipping when you bought them through the app). I just walked in them for a short while, but they seem significantly less comfortable than the zoom fly. I didn't like how the arch support felt, and also the seam between the insole and shoe was noticeable. I have a short run tomorrow, will wear them, but not sure I will race in them on Sunday, seems somewhat risky.

I would punch you in the face if I had the chance. You suck, man. Seriously.

There were two in a too-too, but they had nowhere to go to.

Chances are he won't complete the sale or have to relist them over and over. With that auction site, buyers can screw you big time and get away with it.

I will sell mine for 349.99. +S&H Screw this guy.

Tried mine out for the first time today in a legit session. Did 8x1mile with 3 minutes rest. For once, the hype is validated. Placebo? I don't know, but I felt significantly different.

Everyone complained about the Adios Boost price, but these are $150.00 more because you can get the Boost for $99 on sale every day. Are they 4% better than the boost? Be honest. Have people that rave about the shoe being significantly different tried the Adios Boost or Takumi Sen?

Have you tried the Boost?

I'll see them when they make it to the returned shoes section at warehouse.

I'm looking for a size 6. Wiling to pay above retail. I'll check this thread over the next 48 hours. Reply with your email if you have any to sell.

Or does anyone know of a website stocking a size 6?

Was at NY Running Co. in Columbus Circle yesterday...I was actually looking for a pair of Clifton 4's....Saw the 4% there and was looking at it. A lady came up and started talking about the shoe and why she wanted it (completely random...maybe she thought I worked there?)

Now, I tell you this because she mentioned hopefully breaking 4:30 this year at NYC Marathon. I was dumbfounded but played along. Asked her what her best time is and she replied with 4:43. I looked at her and went "Is it really about the time or is it that you want to have these specific shoes because they are the latest and greatest and you can brag to your friends? All you need to do is throw in more speedwork during the week and you can easily break 4:30"

She shot me the dirtiest look I have seen in a while and said "Wow, you are an ass". I looked at her and said "The truth hurts huh?" and walked out of the store.

You were both correct.

If she wears the shoe, she won't even need the speedwork to break 4:30.

Had to size up on Streak - but the Lunarglide i needed to size down half a size.
