I still can't get over how high those shoes look when you them in pics. Good discount there though. I think the Reebok Floatride Run Fast Pro have been discontinued. Adidas selling Reebok probably means the company is in a bit of flux about future direction as well. |

I paid 210 for some Next% 2s a week or so ago. Haven't worn them so will return and buy the ugly Next% at that price. SportsShoes still have Alphafly at 170 (limited sizes now) and there was a code in England Athletics email yesterday for 10% off and free delivery. |

I'd take'em for that price. sorely tempted too, although I have barely used by Next% because of a certain pandemic and they are bright green and orange (and don't even match) so I'm not bothered about what they look like. I paid 250 quid!

I'll decide whether I want a pair of these once I've finished boaking at "speed meets meditative innovation" and "maverick spirit". I have |

Fugly shoe. So what model is that exactly and how fast? I have some old VF and an as yet unused pair of alphafly that I bought shortly before covid stopped everything….

I remember when you couldn't lay your hands on a pair of VF/AF nearing marathon season, constantly out of stock The way things are going I'll be disappointed if there aren't a pair in my goody bag after London |

Even I'm almost tempted at that price, but fortunately I'm not fit and fast at the moment so my temptation doesn't tip over the edge!

That's not a standard Next % 1 or 2 in a new colourway though is it ? It's got some sort of band that goes down the medial side of the midfoot that's not on the "normal" ones. Some other smaller extra overlays too - looks like it would be heavier, no weight given, but then no weight given for the Next % 2 either. Did Nike not used to publish the weight of their shoes ?? |

Product details say: "Less Weight Updated laces loop through lightweight side sashes that eliminate the need for an arch band.They're designed to help reduce the shoe's weight and help relieve pressure on the top of your tendons." I'm not concerned about weight, but I have used Inov8 flats that had something similar and produced large blisters where the side band thing rubbed a soft part of the outside of my foot. It feels like there has to be a catch somewhere, this is a far bigger discount than they need to give. They'd have flown out the back of the Nike van at 160 |

Fugly or not, I'm having a pair at that price. I can always do my hard sessions in them if I decide they aren't fit to be seen on the start line
