I guess they aren't discontinuing it, at least not in Japan ?!?!
Should we send a "thank you" to Mary Keitany?
Who is going to be the first to import this colorway, they won't ship to US address :-(

there is also a WIDE (for you size 13 folks? heh)
Those look sick, I know what I want for Xmas.
omg there is also now a Ren in white with mint accents, I have never wanted a shoe more just for a colorway
and just to torment me further, there is apparently a discount on them this week, but no shipping to USA
but you know what I also just noticed, the Sen Five has more boost foam under the toebox, interesting. it used to be the Ren had more boost vs the Sen
Any tips on getting these from Japan?

rakuten and ebay
We need a US release, Nike released their Japanese flats in the US so there's some hope.
Is it safe to buy them off ebay from SK?
Finally. Been hoping for this for a while. I've just been bootlegging Rens and older UK fit Sens for the past couple years so this is a relief

Wow! They look bitching!
wow they are already on rakuten, both colorways (and the wide) this is tempting
I got burned buying shoes on Rakuten a few years ago. Got fraudulent charges a month after my purchase. I think ebay is safer unless Rakuten has stepped up. Lots of reports about this online too.
Running warehouse has been selling them in Europe for a few weeks already, as well as the new Adios 4. I'm looking forward to picking them up at the next round of sales.

Same happened to me. I won't venture to see if they have stepped up, screw them.
Any volunteers?

Check the seller's ratings on ebay and be skeptical of any shoes coming from China. You want to buy from a Japanese or Taiwanese seller if you can.
The wide version has the exact same sole outline as the normal version (see the view from the top on the Japanese Adidas site). I could not see any difference with the previous version that was sold in Europe either.
If there is anything wider in this shoe, it must be something subtle in the upper. Do not expect Altra-like width.
Compare the views from the top:

Is the link to Adidas JPN safe for the older versions?
Considering that RunningWarehouse currently has some Takumi Sen 3’s on clearance, I hope that means they will be selling the Sen 5’s at some point.
I still have my pink pair of Sen 3’s from a couple years ago. Great shoe in a great color.
So Adidas went feom Takumi Sen 3 to 5? What happened to the 4th iteration?
Amazon Japan lists many shops, including at least one that would deliver to Europe. I have had no issue with them.
I think they made me pay for the Japanese VAT, though. So, with the Japanese VAT, the conversion to yens, the delivery, the French VAT and the import taxes, it ended up at almost twice the listed price.
