I hope they bring the support of the Vapor 6 back to the Vapor 8 as the Lunarlite had terrible lateral support.

ugh!!! same outsole...that thing was like ice on a hard court if you run at all (which most old guys don't do and think the traction was great). Doesn't it say something that Roger wore the VI in NY???

Fed to wear V6 again next year? If so, wouldn't it be like a GSOAT? That's like 3 years

I say the same thing... and I think our prayers were heard. That's what the new so called internal fit system in the forefoot is for which I think is going to be a hybrid of the Vapors 6 with the Lunar Vapor 7...

This 'old guy' (56) beat an 18 yr old who was on the GA state high school tennis team this summer in a USTA match. I think I had to run a little bit in my Lotto Syn-Raptors to do that, punk.

Guile and experience quite often beats youthful ignorance as displayed by VamosRafa

I think VamosRafa tried to point out how bad is the outsole of vapor 7 and exactly VamosRafa mentioned that MOST old guys.
if Vamos said every old guys, you might be a little irritated by his comment.
you are not belong to them ^__^

back to the outsole of vapor. I have some of vapor vi and the outsole wears like crazy. that's the only reason, I can't buy Vapors. I saw Vapor 7 outsole in person but still It's not enough. vapor line should put CB outsole (I know the shoe weight might be higher though).

I actually kind of like the design. Its a lil more exciting with the cutouts to expose the flywire.

Nice to see the re-introduction of a vapor that isn't just predominantly white or black
