When I first heard about Nike Flyknit I knew I wanted a pair regardless of what they looked like. I really wanted the HTM models but of course those were pretty much unattainable unless I wanted to pay 1000 on ebay. Over the summer this model and the racer came out. In my opinion this model is much better looking than the racer which was kind of thin and only really good for running. These on the other hand can be used for working out or just walking around, hanging out. The whole upper is a woven single piece made out of Nike's new yarns. It's a pretty cool shoe up close and personal. Different parts of the shoe have different weaves. So the toe and heel areas have very tight weave to secure the foot and lock down, but the sides are a looser knit to promote air flow. The sole seems to be lunar, if not then it's some other light nike foam. I was not disappointed at all with these. I would definitely recommend these to anyone who was considering them.
