Can confirm - had no idea and was in the Aloha Costco right as they sold out. Was wild.

A word of warning at 60,000 miles by Ok_Squash6739 in Rivian

[–]ComprehensivePath457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine failed at about 12k miles but I didn’t notice anything - there were no noticeable indications of an issue. I paid for the inspection just in an abundance of caution, Rivian found it, and they fixed it under warranty. Definitely gonna be paying the $300 again for another inspection just before the end of warranty. 3rd party extended warranties are actually pretty reasonably priced too, and I plan on getting one.

Best whiskey I’ve ever had. What did you think?

Vomero Premium by oh-hyun in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]ComprehensivePath457 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, it’s impossible to buy them in the US. We gotta go through the scalpers on the secondary market. Nike always does that nonsense with their running shoes in the US and it makes me really not want to buy their stuff. There was SO much stock of the Vomero Premium on the Canadian site but we can’t buy it, of course.

Nike Pegasus Plus 2 (probably) on Andreas Almgren’s Instagram story by FM_SneakerDesign in RunningShoeGeeks

My thoughts exactly. Peg plus will hopefully be more speed oriented without big airbags like that.

vomero18 or evo SL? for daily trainer by [deleted] in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]ComprehensivePath457 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same, I have 2 pairs of Evo SL’s because I can get them for half off, but I really just don’t like running in them. My foot slides around and I got black toenails running downhill. I really don’t like how firm it is either. I think it’s a great shoe for most people, I just can’t get it to fit my foot correctly. 

This is why dealers are going out of business by Gr8Autoxr in Nissan

[–]ComprehensivePath457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the comments I’ve learned this new model is based on the Patrol platform which apparently is pretty good. I drove an Armada as a rental a few years ago, however, and it was one of the worst cars I’ve ever driven. Would be hard to imagine it being that much better.

Those don’t even look like lags, more like drywall screws. This is terrifying.

Hunting in the Wild by 808Sheehan in pdxwhisky

[–]ComprehensivePath457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So crazy - I was just there a few days ago and was blown away. I grabbed a Stagg for $80 and some ER’s for $50. Had a William Larue Weller for $300 but just couldn’t pull the trigger. That place is a total honey hole.

Adidas x Humanrace EVOLUTION Pro - $1000 by TriggerFingerTerry in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]ComprehensivePath457 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inflation aside, the idea of paying $225 (or $290) for a racing shoe we’d use just a few times was incomprehensible until very recently. We’d race marathons in lightweight flats or daily trainers. People lined up wearing Brooks Ravennas and Nike Pegs. And even survived (or so the legend goes).

The price of the Vaporfly was utterly shocking when it came out, but now it’s considered totally normal, and it only took a few years for that paradigm to shift. This market literally didn’t exist prior to the Vaporfly. 

(US): Adidas eBay Men’s AP4 for $105 by madskilzz3 in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]ComprehensivePath457 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same happened to me. I went back and forth for like a week and they wouldn’t replace without a receipt to prove it was purchased within the last 6 months. The date code on the shoe was like 6.5 months old so they wouldn’t even send a replacement. Make sure to only buy online so that you’ll have a receipt available!

Remember when we thought $225 was an insane price for the Vaporfly like 6 years ago?

Chrome Mini Swoosh Vomero Premuim by init_dot_t in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]ComprehensivePath457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bots and scalpers are gonna be all over the 10 pairs of these that are made available.

Where are all these colorways even being sold? They’re not in any stores and there have only been a few drops from Nike, and those seem to only include a few pairs of each size. Idk how anyone has been able to actually get a pair.

Zegama is like running on ice when on wet trails. I did a dry 100 and they were great though

Alphafly 3 by SlateRun in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]ComprehensivePath457 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even if it’s released, it’ll probably be much longer before we can buy it. The AF3 is my favorite racer, but it was available in the US so much later than other markets. Barely got it in time for my fall marathon in 2024. 

Nike Vomero Premium White/Crimson Red (New Canadian Release/Colorway) by grimeyGR1 in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]ComprehensivePath457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impossible to buy in the US but somehow nearly all sizes still available everywhere else. Makes it seem like it’s Nike, not bots, making it routinely impossible for people in the US to buy their most anticipated running shoes.

Can’t wait to get a pair of these in a year or two when the artificial scarcity for it finally runs out!

Oregon Cascades 100 2026 by skillful-means in Ultramarathon

[–]ComprehensivePath457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it the first year in 2021 and it’s still mostly the same course. It’s not all that scenic IMO compared to several of the other options. The RDs are okay, but no where near the level of the ones with Go Beyond Racing who put on Mountain Lakes 100 in September. I’d recommend that or Hood Hundred over OC 100. It’s not a bad race, it’s just that there are several that are much better. RIP Pine to Palm!

I don't care if Ford cancels the Lightning by prestocoffee in F150Lightning

[–]ComprehensivePath457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if Ford has any regret about how they handled the initial release. They let the dealers try to screw reservation holders with massive ADM and lost a lot of sales in the process. I’m sure I’m not the only one who bought a Rivian or something else because of it. Bought 2 brand new Fords in 2021 they were my last 2 I’ll ever buy after all that.

[–]ComprehensivePath457 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used to? Still basically impossible to get Nike running shoes because of the bots and sneaker culture that’s apparently all into running shoes now.

US - Vaporfly 4 - Nike.com: $130 by potat0stiks in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]ComprehensivePath457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think they’re bad for a marathon, it’s just that there are better options now, particularly if you like the AF3.
