Racing flat colorways

I'm partial to omitting the unnecessary "way" at the end of the word "colorway".

I like white with a loud accent color. I'm using the Streak 3 right now, white and black with the neon swoosh. I had the red ones last year with black swoosh but like the new ones better.

Don't like black road flats, but I do have the black and volt matumbos. Would have got them in a different color if it had been available when I got them.

Yes, I might pay $10-15 bucks to pick my own colors.

A Streak 3 in the colorway of the Marathoner with a red outside swoosh and a blue inside one might be pretty cool. Or white with the blue streaking in the upper with a red swoosh would be cool. that would look kind of like a flag.

WHITE w/ RED swoosh!!

White shoes are so much better always. also solid colors are good.

I used to cut the swooshes off of my racing spikes and flats if they weren't laminated onto the mesh or dyed into it. I'd get pissed off when they'd put a seam over top of it so that cutting the stitching would result in something else coming undone. They only add weight and wind resistance and make the uppers less breathable.

As far as color preferences go, I'm more likely to buy a year or two old model on close-out from eastbay in a color nobody else liked when it sold for 4X as much.

Bring back Nike ID for distance spikes. Not for Rivals.

Agreed that black flats are the pits. Loud neons are my preference, as you see in spikes (Zoom Mamba, Saucony Endorphin LD2), but next is definitely white with loud accents, not black. Saw those new Spiders on RunningWarehouse, they look terrible. I'd love to try the shoe, but won't buy them with their current colors. Looks like a lame attempt at a basketball shoe from 1998. Tell them to take some classes from whoever designed the new NB 1400.

Any bright colors, especially pink. Unfortunately they won't make pink flats in the US.

I would like a white upper with a white upper with a black swoosh and the rubber on the bottom to be volt. (similar to last years streak XC 2s in the green colorway, but the mesh is white). I also loved the old colors for the matumbos which were green, red, and white.

Any bright color is cool for a racing flat, but NEVER black!! Red, yellow, neon green, bright pink.

tx runnergirl PUMA makes a bright pink racing flat.

Just as I thought. I have yet to hear from one person who likes black racing shoes.

How about racing flats with color schemes similar to normal training shoes. They don't HAVE to be "look at me, I'm a serious runner that is going to run fast" kinds of shoes. Pretty sad when you notice a guy before a race in fluorescent shoes, then smoke him by several minutes.

IDK, I kind of like black flats.

I have the black Puma Fass 250 and they look pretty tight.

I just like black shoes better than white shoes, not sure why.

I actually like black spikes as well.

White can look cool, but they get dirty easily and I don't buy new spikes too often.

I also like the Fluorescent colors that nike has

I probably would not pay extra for Nike I.D. unless it was less than $10

I agree with this completely.

Added wind resistance? Get the f*** out of this thread, that is the stupidest thing I have come across this week.
