New "Nike Air VaporMax" sport bands

[MichaelMidnight]

what are you outfits like, do you color coordinate a lot? most of the time, i'm lazy and just wear my black band.

someone had to post it

I'm pretty much a jeans, shirt, and sneakers sort of guy. And while I have a black Apple Sports bands for something formal or nice, I want Nike+ Band for working out and everyday wear. Part of me wants the Orbit blue but it's so bright. Granted I have only seen it lit in an Apple Store so maybe it's not as bright.

I saw it today in the apple store. for me its too bright. But can't you buy it and try it out for a few days and see if you like the color, if not return it? Or do the watch bands have a different return policy

Bands have a 14 Calendar day return policy, so there is an opportunity to wear it and see if work out, color, fit and style-wise.

Here's a pic of obsidian with my aluminum S2 Nike. Looks really nice.

Had the Obsidian Blue but felt it was too subdued and got the Blue Orbit/Gamma Blue band instead and so far I'm digging it

I think this is pretty smokin colour for a running band - Really nice

Man, I'm torn between the Midnight Blue and the Orbit Blue. The former's too dark sometimes and the latter's too bright. I wish there was middle one, that and I don't know if I can pull off the Orbit blue - but it looks so sweet!

This is the Watch band I've noticed in a long time (ever?) that I find myself thinking, "Wow, that's a nice colour!" every time I catch a glimpse of it on my wrist!

And I have the Orange, Yellow, and Nike Black/Volt...

 

[bruinsrme]

Mine is as well!

Day 4. I have determined it's a keeper.
Honestly I wish they made a red and white one.

If they make a product red vapormax that is going in my collection as well.

I caved and picked up the Obsidian/Black today. So far I'm liking it better than the regular sport band. Here it is on my SS Series 0:

Funny, I keep going back to my white sport band on my S2SS. I have both the Obit and Platinum nike bands, as well as the Pollen sport... I have too many bands. I haven't even opened my Saddle classic buckle yet.

Quick question, I bought a Nike band from CEX and the top strap has 42mm on the edge, the longer bottom strap has assembled in China. The smaller band (for small wrists) has no writing on the edge.

Is this correct?

Thanks in advance!

On my anthracite/black the long strap is stamped M/L while the shorter one is stamped S/M. The other part of the band is stamped with the Apple and Nike Logos no “assembled in China” stamped on it

I really like the violet/pink/purple one and almost bought it today at the Apple Store. But I'd like to hear everyone's experience wearing the Nike bands. Do they feel more breathable? Are the bands really as flexible as advertised? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Definitely more breathable than the standard sport band. I had a difficult time wearing the regular ones more than a couple days at a time, because they seemed to trap moisture against my wrist, which after repeated wear would cause irritation. I have had no such issue with the Nike bands, due to them being far more breathable.

You have 14 days to return it. Take advantage of the return policy if you don’t find it meets your needs, but enjoy it for a couple of weeks

I think compared to my black Apple sports band the volt Nike band is a lot more breathable. I love the Apple band but when I'm running during the summer it's really not that breathable and I tend to get really warm inside it. I switch to that when it gets cold again.

And yeah it really really soft and flexible - A winner for running

Had to stop using the Nike band, irritated my skin something fierce and was painful to wear as a result.

...that colour looks awesome on your watch! Is that a Space Grey watch (can't tell if it's black or grey?!!)

I have the Obsidian Blue as well (it's a gift so haven't received it yet - getting it on Friday) but really in 2 minds whether to swap it for the Orbit Blue instead as the Obsidian looks too samey as my Midnight Blue Sports Strap?!!!

It's the Space Grey Aluminum Sport version. I'm partial to all blues and now I'm sorta wanting this one too. Since it would match the leather Sapphire case

.....thanks for confirming that!! I also have the Space Grey Sports watch - that Orbit Blue looks absolutely stunning on your watch! Think I have now made my mind up, based on your pic!

Orbit Blue it is!!!

...well, after visiting my local Apple Store yesterday and actually looking at the Orbit Blue up close and personal, it was actually a VERY bright blue - especially the holes which are an even brighter blue. Personally, I didn't like this brightness....!!

So I went with my original choice - the Obsidian/Black band:

...and I am more than happy with this colour!!

The blue colour is alot different than the Midnight Blue as well. Midnight Blue has hints of purple in it whereas the best way I can describe the Obsidian band is very much like a dark Royal Blue (pretty much like the one I've indicated to below):

...a fantastic colour!!

Looks stunning on your watch - It depends on what your purpose of the Nike strap is I suppose - I bought mine solely for running and working out so bright colors is perfect for me (bought the black/volt)

When I'm back and have taken a shower, I change to one of my other straps

Anyone know how long it took for these bands to show us as in stock again, the last time they were sold out?

 

[Zenga13]

I just love this color!

I have the same question. Many of the colors are already sold out everywhere. My girl likes the Violet Dust/Plum Fog one, but I can't find it anywhere! BestBuy removed it from its site as if it doesn't exist.
