I really love the Sport Loop! I've been a bit of a Sport Loop evangelist to people that have an AW.

Indigo is still my fav, but Smokey Mauve with the reflective stuff is cool too.
As mentioned, the different color fibers in Indigo are what I like. Cape Cod & Hibiscus are pretty, but not as interesting.

Storm Gray looks like it might be interesting. Possibly Red too.

What are some of your favorite colors? There really aren't that many available compare to Sport Bands, it seems.

I don't know that I've seen Nike Black/Pure Platinum pop up for sale? Is that really rare, or just get mixed in with Black and Nike Black?

I resisted for a while but gave in, I still enjoy the sport bands and wear them often. Of the sport loops, Indigo is also my favorite. I've also got Storm Gray which I like, as well as Midnight blue. I enjoy them both and they're right behind Indigo in terms of favorites.

I know what you like about Indigo with the different colored fibers and the different color appearance it can have, I'd suggest looking closely at Storm Gray. While the colors are obviously different, it has a very similar pattern as Indigo. I haven't worn the Celestial Teal Nike band yet, I'll wait for a bit to wear that one. Probably more in the summer when I'm more active in the evenings. Right now there is snow on the ground here and it's kinda chilly lol

I also have Black, it's my least favorite of all of them and I'm not sure why exactly. I don't dislike it, but I don't like it quite as much as the others. I have also seen Nike Black/Pure Platinum, they're out there, just be patient :)

I didn't think I was going to like the sport loop. When I first saw them I thought they were kind of ugly and I thought the sport band made the watch look cleaner and more modern. In some way I still do think the sports band looks better but I've really grown to love the sports loop. It's by far the most comfortable and some of the colors are very interesting. I've added about 5 to my collection.

I'm very with you. Why get loops which are going to degrade over time more than a plastic band?

But they feel great!

I also didn't like the early Sport Band colors but I've gotten over that too.

I'll definitely check out Storm Gray then! Celestial Teal also looks good, maybe I should have got it before it sells out.

I like Midnight Blue & Tahoe Blue, but the light/whitish color on top blocks out a lot of the cool colors underneath (that you see on the velcro side).

I did think about picking up the Black loop during the Best Buy 50% off sale, kinda regret not getting it now. Even tho it doesn't look the best. :)

Just got my S4 and I’m not a fan of the sport loop but it not been on long.

Will give it a few days but right now I’m thinking I’ll be going back to the Milanese loop which is still my fave.

How does the sport loop hold up in the water etc? Feels like it will hold a lot?

I picked up the Black loop and Storm Gray loop. These are both pretty nice. I like that the black isn't just a boring black, there are the other colors mixed in. (Some people on the other hand want it to be totally dark and only black).

Storm Gray has a nice variety of colors too. I'm being on my pics, more to come!

I have Black, Midnight Fog, Seashell and (Product) Red sport loop bands. Needless to say I love the style.

I went to order a Pacific Green the other day from Apple and noticed they were sold out. Then checked Best Buy, also gone. Fortunately Amazon had stock in them:) If you're looking for current stock and can't find one, it may be worth looking on Amazon.
