Ok we’re close enough to September…so if they did Blue/Green then (roughly) Pink/Orange…all that’s left is Purple/Yellow? Lakers band incoming? Or maybe a red purple to avoid Lakers, so Sangria/Solar Flare (think lemon cream).
As a Warriors fan, you can get a gold/blue one - which also would support Ukraine : two for one imho. Granted they choose colors based on Nike roll out, so probably already been decided.

Yeah never bet against blue, especially with the Midnight watch.

I def am still wishcasting Amarillo/Uni Gold for fall. Amarillo is the official Warriors color and was a Nike Running color in spring…

Uni Gold is a classic Nike color ready to follow in the footsteps of Midnight Navy or Cargo Khaki.

Mallard has a little more color and a little more green than Dark Teal but it has no watery depth because it’s a gritty/matte s6 band. It does kind of sparkle versus Dark Teal’s gloss.

Both are hall of fame bands but I would give up my DT to keep Mallard in a second. Mallard just has that special neptune green hue when the light hits it right.

Ah yes... Thank you I knew this photo existed but could not for the life of me find it...
 
See here Mallard on top with Abyss Blue, it’s just got that poison ivy glint.

I do be liking that. tricky, I can get a hold of one Teal band for relatively cheap but Mallard seems to have fallen off the map in the UK site. I can grab one that is described as Grade A for just a little under retail but has more risk attached than an ebay auction where I can actually see it!

Also looking out for a darker blue in the winter months but that's the Abyss v Deep Navy debate where I can find millions of those on ebay and on here! Will wait until the winter bands come out before doing that.
 
In other news my Marigold and Capri should arrive today to provide a bit of colour to this collection. I have asked many questions so here is my contribution to the sport band discussion:

Left to right: Clover, Ocean Blue, Soft White, Antique White, Link bracelet.

Left to right: Black, Midnight blue, saddle brown, milanese loop, 2016 yellow.

I scored a Blue Orbit/Gamma Blue open box for 19€, which I think is a great price for a nice band. I was internally debating if it's best that one or the recent Chlorine Blue version, pretty similar and maybe with a nicer colors mix, but Gamma Blue might be more neutral which is a bonus for my everyday choice of use.
Anyway, can't wait to see it in person.
I don't think you'll be disappointed. I had Chlorine blue first, then found a good deal on NIB BO/GB. BO/GB just "hits different" as the kids say today 😅

Both are great bands, but BO/GB is by no means a bad purchase. I always look twice whether at my wrist or flipping through my case.

Was browsing r/AppleBandMarket and came across an unused open-box Nike Celestial Teal / Black Sport Band for $65 shipped. This band was never on my wish list, but at that price I said what the heck; I figured I could always resell it if I didn’t like it....

I took it out on its maiden voyage this morning, and I like it a lot more than I thought I would!

Based on current Ebay listings, I think it’s fair to say I got a reasonable deal - especially compared to this one at $350.00! 😱😀
