I was able to vault a little with these shoes because this kid I know at University of Illinois was in for break and he has the same size shoe as me. The things that I noticed was the the entire foam bottom is stiffer, they feel lighter, and most of all they feel more durable and more supporting than the originals. It has a tighter lock down feeling especially in the forefoot and thats what I hated about the old ones, the forefoot was so loose thats why at meets I used sprinting spikes.

You cant do it just online, you need to call. They told me that nike wont technically let them advertise pre-orders, but if you call they can give you one. Mine are in the mail as soon as they can get shipped out! :)

I am personally not a fan of the PV Lites, I got the White/Yellow Mizuno LJ ones last year, and idk if I will ever go with something else... just my opinion!

They would like to, but last I heard they won't be allowed to.

They'll have them there to look at though and I think they'll be doing giveaways again.

How do the giveaways work? Do you have to sign up for those... or just your entry signs you up?
