It's at the top of my want list. Hopefully I can grab one before they disappear.
aaaand remove from bag. It's just not as exciting as I wanted it to be... hopefully someone can take some new pics at different angles/lighting and magically make it more yoink-worthy??
@Pitch has convinced me to give them a try. I mean, I agree with everyone saying they're cheap rubber, not worth collecting, and hold next to no resell value, but I wouldn't mind picking one up off Mercari or eBay down the road for $15 just to try it out. Let's hope someone out there has my size and decides they don't love them.
Yep, I saw that too. Even MKBHD's loop did that. Lots of review units and now retail units. I don't think I could stand it, especially knowing I paid $100+ after taxes for one. (Not buying one unless I find it for $40 or less.)
Enjoying the new bands for all you lucky folks. Me? I’m still two years ago, rocking my new Nectarine sport band.
FedEx is 4 hours away from missing 8 PM. I don't have sunlight all day FedEx, I have to get these comparison pics out tonight! If you're not buying expensive bands just to show off to strangers on the forums, then what's the point???
Oh, also, Nectarine looks good. Need.
The hyper crimson/Neptune green was the first to get this pattern, if I’m not mistaken. Perhaps the pattern is technically the same on many of these multicolor reflective Nike loops, but most of the black-background ones don’t have enough color contrast to make this sublimated diagonal stripe really pop like you describe.
The shimmer on the yarn is a siren song...
You are exactly right, love the color but for $100 dollars that’s sloppy to me. I actually have that color coming in and I just know it’s going to bug me. *sigh*
Absolutely loving the look of that blue Braided Solo, but can’t stomach the price. Will be scouring on eBay for one in my size over the next few months...
That picture makes it look like Vitamin C 🧐
I have an extra one, I'm not offering it here because it is forbidden, but, you know

I have the green coming this week and I’ll see if it really bothers me in person. Might have to return it for that price.

In other news I’ve ordered a couple of sizes of the damn thing. We’ll see which one fits.
I knew there was a reason why the deep navy sports loop looked familiar....lol
Bands came in!
(Left to right)
For Obsidian Mist/Black:
Light Bone, Desert Sand, Pure Platinum, Obsidian Mist, Magnet Gray, Celestial Teal, Royal Pulse.
For Spruce Aura/Vapor Green:
Midnight Turquoise, Teal Tint, Spruce Aura, Flat Silver, Spruce Fog, and Pride 2020 up top just to show how pale Spruce Aura gets.
For Blue Black/Bright Mango:
Volt, Lime Blast, Pink Blast, Bright Mango, Midnight turquoise, Obsidian, Celestial Teal.
Bright Mango is our first real orange/red sort of color on Nike bands. The Blue Black color is insanely deep, and it’s hard to photograph it.
Spruce Aura/Vapor Green on Ceramic
Obsidian Mist/Black on Ceramic
Obsidian Mist’s closest retail release is Celestial Teal. It’s like a washed out version of Celestial.
Royal Pulse, Obsidian Mist, Magnet Gray, Celestial Teal
Here’s the sad part: I think I’ll be returning Obsidian Mist. I don’t know if all of these are only meant to be used with newer watches, but they’re all tight to slide into my S2. Obsidian Mist, though, I can’t even get in and out. I don’t think it clicks in, it’s that tight.

Been a problem since the release of bands from 3/20. I've returned a few. I had to get 3 Coastal Gray to get one that worked properly. Apple quality has slipped tremendously, imo.
Weird part is this is the first time I’ve experienced it. Granted, I hadn’t bought many current bands this year.
I'm having the same problem. I ordered all three new Nike Sport Bands and the straps are a struggle to get in. The sport loops seem fine.
Alright, yeah, they’re all too tight. They’re all going back.
I had to replace the Nike Midnight Turquoise and a couple from the March release, but, I can't remember! I'm moving to another state next month, so, I'm not buying any bands now...maybe by Christmas I might get a couple. Honestly, I hate the issue of wondering if mine will be good. A friend on a FB group said all his new sport bands feel like used ones..no soft, velvety feel at all. Super disappointed. Oh, and the Nike desert Sand had to go back because the holes were terribly sloppy. And the ones with black spots...ugh!
Here are some better pics of obsidian mist.. damn, magnet looks like exactly what I wanted...
How’s the fit?Here are some better pics of obsidian mist.. damn, magnet looks like exactly what I wanted...
My local Apple store had a blue Al in stock today, so I grabbed it. I love the color, but I think it's going back because it doesn't look good with a lot of bands. The red Al also looked really good, but that matches even fewer bands. I still have my Titanium, Graphite SS, and Grey Nike on the way this week. I just wish they didn't discontinue the Ceramic.
