    Not the case at all. Once they release a new colorway, the sales constantly decrease over time, regardless of whether the boot is "popular" or not. If you keep releasing colorways, then some people who already own the boot in a previous color will say "Oh, I like those!" (like most of the people in the E&G forums), and buy them along with new adopters.

    Also, the first color released will move the most pairs. I guarantee you that the Volt Laser II's sold more than any other colorway that has been out yet, even though it was by far the worst looking. You might as well release the shite colors first (and sell quite a lot since it's a launch product), then sell more later when you release the best colorways (which will also sell relatively well considering they look good).

    And that's the answer that the marketing team would give me and show me up, haha.

    can anyone confirm the next super ligera colors from this page. I can't believe nike would release 3 more white-based colors with no black.

    there is nothing in the catalogs for upcoming super ligera colors. I heard from one source though that in china/japan, those colors are available currently, just not on us/euro soil.

    Man, they still look like they would fit like the IV's...

    I just hope the Superflys are tighter fitting

    What's up with the different T90-logo? I know it's not a big deal...at all actually, but I just wonder why Nike produce the same shoe with a few different details? And yes, both is Laser II's, and not Strikes or something :)

    yeah, i noticed that with the red/maroon laserII's. in some pics they are red/maroon/gold, but now they released as red/maroon/silver. its just weird

    That's because sometimes companies, mostly nike, put pictures of pre-release samples instead of the ones that are actually gonna be released.

    i actually think the new vapor 5s are really good looking
    i'll probably get a pair when some better colorways come out.

    the r/w/b vapor V's are looking better every time i see them. I'd like to see better pictures of the orange-red ones because the color description says like blaze orange or something like that, but idk if its just my computer, they look very red to me

    Definitely not "blaze orange". Just reddish-orange. And yeah, I agree, I like them more and more each time I see pictures of them. I just don't like the abrupt color transition from purple to white at the toe.

    Yeah, I hated them the first time I saw those bigsoccer ones, but they grow on me alot.

    They're nothing compared to when I saw the euro vapors though.

    some people almost jizzed in their pants when they saw the euros. I don't think we'll be seeing anything as good as that in a while. never thought that brown and cyan would look good together...

    Really. It sounds horrible in description, but its absolutely amazing. I'm glad Nike didn't do something stupid like put the cyan blue on the swoosh instead of the white.

    yeah, I was skeptical when I first heard they were brown because I pictured a light brown and it wasn't sounding to good. I haven't seen the bags for any euro shoe. Is it the same as a MVIV bag just matching the colors, or did they put the E8 Crest on it?

    I can only speak for the vapors. Mine came with some fancy shoe bag. Its not a backpack

    It's good they didn't make it a super special bag. IMO Puma went WAY overboard with the King XL Special edition. it comes with like a boot cosmetic kit.

    MVV's look like its a combo of iii & iv. I think ill be going mercurial next season...bit of waste seeing as i got some new laser ii's the other week oh well!

    Not too keen on the colour way though, why cant we have black or white boots to open?

    Only to later find out that they are coming out as regular colourways :mad:
