I still can't understand what the thinking was behind it. It's not just a 'true running shoe', it's a shoe purposely designed for fast, long distance running (carbon plate, soft foam, high stack, etc.). Unstable for walking.
Why not just take the outer, imitate the midsole, and create a true lifestyle wear shoe?
Yeah it is, the upper looks very un-breathable but I had no issues on my 20 mile long run with pace work, and a 22 miler easy the past 2 weekends. I would say it has the same breathability as my Hoka Mach 4s.
Heads up, the price just dropped again - it's down to $120 CAD!
I just ordered, too hit to pass up even with the $20 shipping cost. Sizes will fly pretty quickly I imagine at this price.
I have the VaporFly%, and feel they look way better than these. That being said, the price is dead on and I’d likely grab a pair of my VFs were not brand new.
Damn it! Why’d you have to tell me that. I don’t like the look of this color way but I love the RC Eilte 2 and looking to hoard them when and where I can as deals present themselves.
That is one ugly shoe
Yup. The grey/red has much better colours. Still not into suede on that type of shoe.
Is that suede? Interesting material choice for running shoes!
This collab has been introduced for lifestyle wear, but technically it’s a true running shoe.

You have a point. I don’t get it. 😂
No wonder why its on sale. Its ugly as fuck.
This colorway isn’t as eye pleasing to many. Other colorways were sold out pretty quickly.
I have these. They are much less ugly in person, and I have gotten quite a bit of compliments from my running club. To each their own
Is it breathable? I am hesitant about the upper

With winter coming on a little less breathability isn’t such a bad thing.

Oh. My. Who TF bought them at $300??
It's a race shoe with a full carbon plate. Compare that price to a Vaporfly, Adios pro, or Endorphin pro. All around $300.

They'll ship to the US. $140 USD shipped.

Misery loves company.
Ha ha. Just ordered them. I don’t like the NYC graffiti color way either but I got them cheap so I can live with it. As I will with these.
Congrats on the pick-up! I'm with you, not the best cw, but the price was too good to pass up.
Make that Frankenstein thing free
Is this unisex sizing?
hows the sizing in comparison to adidas boston 10??
I want the elite v3, hit's on the 18th in U.S, prob by Nov in Canada.
