My dog walk band from earlier this evening...pure platinum/white Nike. Different from PP/B. Could see them using yet another shade of this color to refresh the default band choice for silver Nike Watch for a couple years...

Can those of you more knowledgable than I am tell me what color this band is? I was told it's Apricot, but it looks more like a light pink to me.

Zoomed in to challenge you. Unworn M/L halves, so no chance of discoloration. Just checked and they’re also both 42mm, so no difference in formula. Take your guesses as to which is which.View attachment 941860
The one on the left looks like the darker PP/W to me. I’m not saying I’m for sure right on this, will def follow up in the sunlight...as you have helped avoid maybe it’s optical illusion ish with the color of the perforations.

edit: I got them backwards but point remains there’s a slight difference

edit2: you can’t tell me these are the same exact color (cookies and cream Kyrie are white not PP). I think PPW is more blue and slightly lighter.

Does anybody know when Gen 2 sport band was discontinued? I found someone who is selling what could be gen 1 or gen 2 it’s hard to tell from photo. She said it came with the watch so I asked which series watch she had and she said series 3, I just didn’t think it was still around then?

“BLUE Gen 2”

Actually, you were right the first time. PP/W is on the left.

At least before the formula switch, they’re reaaaally identical in my eyes. As you mentioned I think it’s more of an optical illusion with the secondary colors more than anything. I do see PP/W is a slightly cooler tint, especially in daylight. Maybe I’m slightly platinumblind?

Now we just need to determine if Pride 2020’s purple is really hyper grape or slightly different. I’m on team “Fall 2020 Plum Sport Band”

Definitely wasn’t around for the Series 3. Pretty sure it was tossed when the Series 2 was announced Fall 2016, if not even earlier.

This doesn't quite look like vintage rose though. Here's a close up shot of the lugs:

Maybe it is Flamingo?
Check my above comparison. Flamingo doesn’t have the right lug color, and is far too orange to be possible imo.
 
I’m still waiting on the open-box Indigo/Lime Blast from Best Buy I bought a week ago during their sale. It should have arrived Tues, it’s been stuck not moving for 4 days! 😬😕
😢 Just spoke with Best Buy and they say it was lost in transit!! 😡 They can't send a replacement because it was open-box, and they can't honor the sale price for a new one either. Crap. Hope it goes on sale again.
 
I saw a local listing on Mercari for a Nike black/pink blast. I messaged the seller mentioning I’m local and if she would like a local deal I’d be interested. I figured it would be against the rules but how else would I contact the seller? Seems my message was deleted by admin.

Oh well......

Yeah that’s a big no-no on Mercari. They’re huge on shipping only. Even eBay allows local pickup so long as you pay through eBay. But Mercari does not.

this. Mercari & eBay are pretty strict on paying only through the site. I’ve heard instances where your account is suspended for even mentioning off-site payment.
