K5 Gus Sep 2021 1:47pm, 23 Sep 2021 4,679 posts	0 K5 Gus Definitely more upper, rather than just new colours : "As confirmed previously, these Gyakusou editions start with the Nike ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT% and then modify the upper with some custom options. These changes namely are different panel arrangements and alternate lacing configurations. There are also multiple types of translucent mesh on display, all of which are bordered by generous amounts of Gyakusou and UNDERCOVER branding." from sneakerfreaker.com Looks like it would be more stable, with some extra materials around the heel and the midfoot lockdown straps. Maybe more of a training version ? So don't buy if expecting the same super lightweight as the standard versions
fuzzyduck79 Sep 2021 2:09pm, 23 Sep 2021 455 posts	0 fuzzyduck79 I've taken delivery of my first pair of AF today, will try out later. Would not have bothered until that big discount. Think I might destroy the airpods over a marathon.

fuzzyduck79 Sep 2021 4:26pm, 23 Sep 2021 456 posts	0 fuzzyduck79 They have clamped down on birthday discount (not allowed on VF/AF last few months) and it says on the product page no codes/discounts can be applied.
