Sooo just got back from an impromptu trip to Houston. I hate to give this place away, but I made a stop at the Nike Clearance Outlet in Pasadena. Lost my shite when I browsed the shoe section. Can’t vouch for any sizes besides 8.5 and 9 because that’s what I wear, but I ended up getting a pair of Epic React Flyknit 2 for $63 and a pair of Zoom Fly Flyknit for $48.99. They also had a pair of Vaporfly 4% Flyknits in my size, but they were $250. Though they were running 30% off each item, but still couldn’t pull the trigger...just don’t think I’m established enough of a runner to utilize those shoes as they should be. They also had a couple pairs of Pegasus Turbo’s, but I didn’t care for the fit. Oh, and they had a pair of the new Joyrides...very weird feel on feet. Snug and you can feel each section filled with the beads.
Also picked up a short sleeve shirt and long sleeve shirt for $13.99 each and they had tons of shorts between 3” and 5” but I’m stocked on those.
Mainly a PSA to anyone in that area or anyone going that way, it’s worth checking out. Have to remember there is a difference between regular Nike factory outlets and Nike Clearance stores. I’ve been to this one three times and have never left unhappy lol.

Half the board has em and there's not a single one of us that can "use them as they should be used". They don't make you faster, they're supposed to make you more efficient. If your lactate threshold is nine minute flat miles, the shoes won't magically change that to sub nine which is where I think some people get confused.
They might help you sustain your threshold for just a little bit longer though. Which is what they are designed to do. Hell, for thirty percent off I would have snatched a pair for sure.

I've trained and raced in the Zoom Fly for a while now and love them. Bought my first pair of 4% flyknits and it's amazing the difference in feel on longer runs.
