Same here, I was hoping for so long... but no.Too bad the red/black color way hasn't came back out. They were my favorite pair of these.

A different typ of comfort but both A+++++Lightnings would be automatic.
How do kukinis compare in comfort to prestos?

i have never had a presto before are the really more comfortable than the kukini?
probably because they have encapsuled air instead of visible air in the heel?
I wear a 12 in all my shoes and needed a 13 on theseMultiple colors on sale on Nike, but you need to spend $120 to get 20% off, or $150+ to get 24% off. Rakuten currently 8% too.
Anyway… debating grabbing a pair. Saw someone mention these run somewhat snug. I’m a 13, and they don’t make 13.5. Would 13 be ok? 14 be too big?
Maybe I’ll grab a 13 and 14 since Nike has a great return policy.I wear a 12 in all my shoes and needed a 13 on these
So I ended up ordering a 13 and 14 from Nike, for sizing comparison. Haven’t tried either on yet. I’ve never owned a pair, and can’t say I’ve always been a Kukini follower, but I got a hair up my ***, and said I wanted a pair of waters because they’re definitely a different/cool looking shoe….
The sz 14 has a pretty big glue stain right on the black suede part of the toe. Both pairs have shoddy paint surrounding the air unit. The 13 had smeared glue (looks foggy) on the air unit. One of the sz 13 shoes looks like the cage is from a bigger size, it has a lot of slack. And both pairs don’t look so great where the cage attaches to the midsole.
For those that own these, and have owned these, are these issues common? Am I just being picky? I’m not the picky guy that goes over every shoe I own for small issues, but these just look poorly made.

Maybe I’ll just order one more pair and pick the best of the 2. Kinda disappointing, but at least they’re cheap.Yep I’ve got 5 pairs of waters. Will probbsly get another 5 pairs ( my all time favorite shoe and colorway ) and I don’t know if we’ll ever see these retro again . 2 pairs of Lemon venoms . 1 pair of Topographies . 1 pair of black and neon . And almost every single one of them has those same exact issues lol to varying degrees . Not sure what’s going on with that . Really strange … just need a pair of paint splatters and then I want two pairs of poison darts and I’m done unless they release anymore OG colorways . I’m hoping for the black/ grasshoppers and coca colas . Lightnings would be great too . There’s just SOO many good colorways of these they haven’t retrod
To be completely honest prestos are probably the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn . They don’t even come in regular sizes lol they come in S,M,L ,and XL I’m guessing is the max . They’re super cool though and I’ve always thought they looked amazing . Not to mention we the marketing for them when the first came out is hands down some of the greatest Nike marketing projects of all time . Look up the tv commercials on YouTube sometime if you get a chance . They’re hilarious lol. Brutal honey and trouble at home are my two favorite colorways . All the Og colorways retroed within the last 10 years too which is cool

Thanks for the reply.
Woodbury commons had a ton of these for $65 + 20% off. I made my first trip there last week. Passed on kukinis, but copped hello kitty prestos. Size 11 in the prestos is about the same size and fit as size 12 in kukinis. Insane
Speaking of alpha projects, I need a zoom seismic retro BAD. Pic from google
Those are dope . I’ve always like them alot . Never had a pair growing up though unfortunately. Alpha project will always be my favorite Nike experiment they did hands down
Anyone?Any ankle irritation wearing these with no show socks? Or are y’all wearing ankle (or higher) socks with these? Quick try on with no socks, and the mesh feels like it could be an issue with extended wear.
