Are the red version and black version of this shoe older than the white/red?

If so, has anyone run in both versions? I've heard a lot about those white/red ones but don't want to get the reds or blacks if they aren't as good.
Thanks, it's much appreciated.
The white/red ones are older.
I've had 3 pairs and loved them to death.
Never tried the newer versions.
Truth be told, the older ones (white/red) look a little sturdier (better stitching, construction, etc.. might hold up a little longer than the newer ones...).
It's probably be hard to go wrong with either model, though.
I've got two white ones that I bought in 2007.
That model weighed 6.4 ounces in mens US size 9
and was a great shoe.
Never bought the red ones which must have been the
2008 model.
I have two of the black ones which are the 2009
model. They weigh 6.2 ounces in mens US size 9.
I've only done two runs in this shoe, but it appears
to be at least as good as the 2007 ( white ) model
and probably better.
What are they like to race in? I have a really old pair of the white/blue ones from 2004 or 2005. Found them really good. I only really work out in them now but kind of need a new pair of flats now as they are pretty old. Obviously it is nearly impossible to get these anymore. Are these newer versions pretty similar to the blue/white ones?
I raced one 10-K in the white ones on 11/10/07.
They were light and responsive.
During that period I was training for a marathon,
but got injured a couple of times and don't have
much race history with them.
Are we supposed to read this post as if you are William Shatner?
I have both the new ones (red) and the old ones (red and white) so to answer your question I put the new ones on the right foot and the old ones on the left.
unfortunately my red ones are brand new and my white ones have seen a half marathon and a handful of workouts so its not a perfect test but they both feel good.
red ones seem to have a hint of arch support because they have some piece of plastic/metal mesh thing built into the sole where the white ones have some flat plastic pieces giving some structure to the bottom. The red ones feel a bit nicer but that could be because they are newer. Like what was said before you can't really go wrong with the pros.
To everyone who replied, a big thank you.
That was some very quick and VERY helpful info. I think I'm set to try a pair of the red ones--I think I can get a good deal on them.
Again, big thanks.
I've tried both old (red/white) and new (red) I feel the new ones have a slightly better feel. More responsive.
Hope to try the black ones soon.
