I know it wasn't everyone's thing, but I kinda dug the Celestial Teal and Black Sport Band introduced just last week. I had it in my cart, waiting to purchase it until I actually purchased my S4. Today, I got a note that it had been removed from my cart since it was now unavailable. Three of the other new variations are also marked Sold Out. Maybe I'm just expected to know this happens, but I'm a little disappointed that there wasn't some tip-off (by Nike or even MacRumors) that these were only going to be available for a limited time (one weekend!). Anyway, if you didn't know, now you know.
Got a tip for us?

Maybe there’ll be a restock.
I was itchy to pull the trigger on the Olive Flak but I feel like I want to see it in person first....but if they’re limited... oh man.

MR posted about them here: Nike Launches New Apple Watch Sport Bands and Sport Loops in Olive, Teal, and Mauve
It was reported on MR's front page as noted above and a few other sources I happened to see. I don't know that they're going to be LE bands, I just think they sold out very quickly. I was on the fence about Celestial Teal Band but did manage to order a Loop. It should be here within a couple of days.
Bands come and go so if you see something you like, buy it or it can be gone the next day.
Sometimes they restock, but other times they have a limited number to sell and that is it.
I constantly check the leather loop collection for possibly colors i like.

That's interesting. I didn't realize we could buy bands from Nike that were not available from Apple.
I've seen quite a few of the Black & White Sport Loops from the Series 4 Watches in the $100-$150 range.
Yes the Nike loops are reflective like the black and white that come with Nike AW 4.
Please read harsh words into this sentence! You pay your fees boy!
If anyone in the thread missed the news, these are now generally available from Apple! I'd managed to score a Celestial Teal Sport Loop from the Santa Monica Nike store and love it.

(Also, my apologies for not posting this in the accessories forum where it belongs.)
[doublepost=1543622848][/doublepost]Also, something I'd wondered about before I got my S4 yesterday, but hadn't seen spelled out specifically, is that the Nike+ models' faces come in matching (or at least complimentary) colors.

Can you post a pic of the band preferably while on your wrist? Just curious what it looks like. I’m going to be picking one up when I get my watch.
Not on my wrist but here are some shots of Celestial Teal.

Because you demanded it! My preemptive apologies for arm hair/skin tone/etc. The band matches the Celestial Teal Nike+ faces pretty well in outdoor light; with indoor lighting, the band looks quite a bit darker (yes, that's the same face color).
