The Nike Flyknit is the newest, super hi-tech, future shit to come from Nike. Nike spent four years developing the technology and creating countless samples to make this shoe. Basically, Nike created computerized machines that can sew a durable, lightweight, one piece upper. There's pretty much zero physical labor involved in building the Nike Flyknit. Aside from the performance and cost advantages that this new technology creates, Flyknit technology also offers design capabilities we've never seen in a shoe.
Aside from the comfort, what sold me on this shoe was the insane detail. The knit upper allows for a type of design intricacy that we've never seen on a sneaker. There are tons of crazy patterns on this shoe. I took a couple of up close pics to try and give you an idea, but you have to see it in person to really appreciate the detail.
The shoe is beautiful and exceptionally comfortable. The only downside is the $150 price point. If you plan on wearing the shoe to run, work out, etc., I would imagine that the shoe is worth every penny. I usually would suggest that you wait for these to hit sale racks, but I'm not so sure they'll last. I checked Nikestore.com two days ago and they still had plenty of sizes in all of the colorways, but now there are only scattered sizes. Niketown San Francisco still had plenty, and I imagine most Nike stores will have plenty of sizes.
If you're someone who generally likes to have trainers and runners in your collection, the $150 price tag shouldn't be a deterrent. Cop these shits. If you spend $160 on some plastic leather Jordan retros and can't appreciate these, I don't know what to tell you.
