Could be that then. Currently appears to be about 2% what doesn't seam to bad. compared to before when it was crazy high.
Funnily enough, I just looked at J1 Origin Story. They're going for £350 now, up from £188 at release but with/without the crazy fees, the prices are around the same.joshcowin said:
ON seem like a class company! Nice products and from what I have seen fantastic support if partnered with them!
Yeah but i fear that they are becoming too big too soon/quick as they are launching different products every few months but all based around the same 'platform' if you like but all doing the same thing.Recent example is the cloudswift with its cambered sole, has a 7mm drop, theyve done something inside, dropped it to 2mm drop, added some 'rubberised protection' and called it a city/commuting shoe.
They seem to have acknowledged my request for a low drop cloud so heres hoping theydo something.

I would imagine they have to in order to make a tiny dent into the sales of established running brands. asics, nike ...

I only look at them from a running shoe point as this is why I would wear the type of trainer they produce. I would group them with Hoka as a smaller (relative to competition) company who seem to be making quality products. Would I buy them over Asics probably not. as they look funky and I am not sure of a local store that stocks them.

You should give em a try, they have a local store finder or i believe they do a 30 day return policy if purchased from their website.I only look at them from a running shoe point as this is why I would wear the type of trainer they produce.

The apparel stuff looks nice but expensive for what it is
