I never said the Free concept was bullshit, maybe it was miscommunicated. Free hasn't gone any further than 3.0 (1 = barefoot, 10 = Air Max 20XX).

The "Free" concept is on its way to the proper way of running cause it allows you strike in the midfoot/forefoot a lot easier. But there is still a lot of work the Free could do. If they shaved down the thickness of the outsole that would help out a lot. The sipes/cuts that allow for flexibility are exactly what the foot wants and needs when running.

What I'm saying is that a that traditional running shoes and their "corrective" technologies are really just a band-aid solution. They don't really address the root of the problem and may promote poor running technique.

When Nike started the running boom, notice how the Air unit was only in the heel, meaning it was some how appropriate to use your heel as a shock absorber.

I can't say I can throw out complex scientific words but I understand the fundamental aspect of why more barefoot-styled running > thick cushioned footwear (like Lunarfoam toolings).

Look at the images on the right side. Heel striking isn't ideal but of course you can still run that way.

Late pass but I've been running in 0-1 degrees C (32-34 F). I manage fine in a heat-tech layered underneath a gyakusou l/s on top, lightweight jacket, tights (most essential piece in my opinion to kee

Had my Gyak's for about a little bit more than a year I reckon and I must say they've become quite beloved and essential to my lifestyle. I don't do any running but I've used them as my go to shorts (

my japanese connect I asked to buy some of the stuff for me sounded very pessimistic about being able to score any...

is it that limited?

It doesn't seem to be very limited. All the nike shops are getting them. With that said, there's no way to predict if there's gonna be the usual chinese-reseller + pay-some-homeless-dudes-to-get-jawnz madness.

Also, you have to understand that this is a global release. 21 mercer and montalban will probably get it.

Same here, came out of the blue.

Both dope, but the Olive Green's somehow trigger a "Prada" reflex, heh heh.

Must be the red stripe in combination with the toebox shape.

Nice to see the actual construction detail of the tights.

fuuuuuck, I want half of this collection and I don't even run. Takes me back to grade school when all I would wear was Nike. So everybody in the US is out of luck it seems... or will this be coming to all Niketowns?

Yeah does anyone have any more information on this? will it be online? or any japanese members happy to proxy??
