Are the Triple Jump spikes on the way from Nike?

Is release date still around early October?

Any other brands putting out new spikes anytime soon?

Bringing this back. Less than 2 months from release date and I cant find them anywhere. Does anyone have a direct link to the preorders?
Thanks

Let me give you a run down on these shoes. they are just like the original pv lites they are way to flat for a vaulter and make it harder to roll over your toe at take-off. I really wish nike would sit down with hartwig and talk out a good shoe. Me an jeff had a talk about this earlier this year and both agree there aren't many good vault shoes out there any more.

They are designed to be a more durable version of the original PV Lites, so if you didn't like those, you probably won't like the newest version.

Im pissed at Nike. They are so stupid. They do not realize how many pre-orders they could get if they just let us do it before christmas for these PVL 2's. I know i am ordering them asap, along with im sure what, 10,000 other vaulters throughout the year? I just wish they would give us hardcore fans the chance to get these shoes first and not have to worry about order backlogs. Ok, im done venting :) .
