Any word on the Nike Free 5.0 that supposedly release tomorrow?

A black and orange version of these definitely exists. I saw a few pairs at Sports Season in Mufreesboro about 4 days ago.

oh great! now I'm worried. the only thing giving me hope still is on nikes site it gives a item and colors code, the code for the white and orange shoe on nikes site is the same as the one on the order from academy
 
I do not understand the thinking behind that at all. I could understand having them be exclusive for this season but to never make them available, even after this season is over, seems like everyone involved is just turning away a source of revenue.

That there are certain things that are just for athletes, to have things that are special and that not any guy off the street can get.

For what it's worth, they looked pretty cool. Not emblazoned with all the UT specific stuff but definitely our shade of orange. Not that it would matter as Nike has pretty much done away with anything black that is official to UT.

So had no UT logos or anything on it? If not then I believe it was just a custom set that someone built on nikes site. You can make a pretty cool set of Nike shoxs that have the UT colors too, just won't have logos and such. I've looked all over the web for a black set for UT and haven't even seen a hint of this version. I guess I'll have two sets. Sell one or just send it back
 
I don't understand the limited sizes. I wear a size 16 & they stop at 15. I know we have players with larger feet than me, so they are being manufactured. would love to hear nike reasoning about only offering limited sizes. If Peyton wanted a pair I know they would cough some up for ole Peyton. Its feeling like addidas all over again. Feeling sad & disappointed.

Yeah, they didn't have any logos on them but they had a table full of them sitting next to all the new Nike gear. If I remember right, they were basically black where these ones are orange and orange where they are white. More or less.

Going up to 15 isn't really limited, you just have enormous feet.

Yeah that's probably what it was then. I order 10.5 for me and 6.5 for my wife because that the same as a women's size 8. Don't think I'll have a problem getting rid of the 10.5, but might just send the extra 6.5 back.
 
And....just got screwed by Academy sports. Called to check on the order since it hadn't updated and was told my order "didn't process". This despite the fact my card was authorized. And of course, now they're out.

Be very careful when dealing with these morons.

2nd this. Just called to check on my order and they confirmed it didn't process but they'll refund my money. Geez, thanks for giving me my money back.
