Here’s sunflower goo band, around 1:12 in the YouTube stream. Go to 1:10 the apple stream for better quality…

edit: forgot about safari allowing screen capture…

Yeah sadly I‘m pretty sure that’s just the Sport Loop. You can see when her arm is down the edges on both sides. I wish it was a Sport Band. :(
 
Silly question, but how do you find open box on amazon?
You know, I wasn’t even looking for it, I just had $10 in extra credit for spending $40 on a gift card and it was just there buried with the offers on Amazon’s typically busy layout. Warehouse deals. Been burned before, badly, so YMMV. I’m guessing this was just pure damaged box, never had been returned. It was $43 before the $10, so not a crazy deal.

P.S. saw someone for the first time since lockdown today and immediately sold him on the solo loop for his SE…he had never even heard of them! 😈

I noticed that Chalk Leather Link missing on the bands page.


However if you drill down to a different color you can still get it. Perhaps they are discontinuing this color early? Glad I got mine. Hopefully it is just a website update they missed and it isn't a limited color. The same is true on the Canadian site as well....


Missing chalk?
Hey thanks for telling me about drilling down. I’ve got my small chalk link coming on Thursday!!!

2020 WWDC started on the 22nd of June if i remember correctly and the summer bands released earlier on the 8th.
 
So perhaps there’s a new pattern in which they don’t like selling the bands/cases on their own day. Perhaps airpods 3/the new beats will herald the last of the s6 colors.
 
Cantelope exists in the Solo Loop and Sport Band, not the Sport Loop. But I see where you’re coming from. From that still though it looks like the Sport Loop and not some unreleased band.

Simply saying the precedent has been set, ie. sport bands & solo loops of the same color. And what? It’s clearly either a sport band or solo loop. There’s no texture to it, and no rails of another color; entirely smooth. Watch the YouTube playback, around 1:12 - or in the clip @athousandbands posted above.

Yeah it’s possible the Spring lineup releasing late may also push the summer one back a little bit? By how much, don’t know, but also worth considering we are just three short months away from September aka Series 7 release

I think it was 2019 when new summer bands went up immediately after the keynote and yes I also remember seeing eg the cornflower sport band previewed there too

I mean I’m still hunting the spring bands, by all means I’m not bored even looking at their pictures and absorbing everything. Just big “who moved my cheese” energy to not follow the pattern, again, Tim.

Yeah exactly :) This Spring release we just had, the Sport Bands and Solo Loops actually exceeded my expectations after seeing them in person, I’m certainly still trying to collect a handful of them (Capri, Canteloupe and Pistachio), they certainly are very summery colours as it is I would say.

For the Summer release, all I’m really secretly hoping for is a Sunflower Braided Loop or Capri Blue Leather Link. Sport Band/Solo Loop still many on my want list, and Sport Loop I’ve actually fallen out of love it seems (underwhelming colours from Spring release and also the last one I had, Sunshine, is ageing poorly, looking pretty grubby)

Looks like the Sport Loop to me. When her arm is down it looks like the cream rail is on top and the green is on the bottom facing her hand. I could be wrong. Have any bands actually ’leaked’ this way anyway?

They definitely wear the new ones for events but perhaps only in the fall when they all are wearing the new model.
 
So they all Nike loops.

How would you rank them if you had to pick lol.

I’ll chime in

1. Obsidian Mist
2. Royal Pulse
3. Purple Pulse

But remember everyone has their own personal opinions. I would always place Purple Pulse at the bottom of Nike Loops. I’m just not a fan of that one and I’m a huge fan of Nike Loops as I am pretty much Nike Loops complete except for a few I don’t care to have.

Hopefully that helped a little. I just posted a picture of Obsidian Mist yesterday in the “Show Off” thread and I am actually currently wearing it. It is definitely a top Nike Loop and unique. In my opinion it looks awesome with dark casings.

I picked up all 3 but yes im debating Puple Pulse as I already got Indigo Loop last week.

Seller selling them as New without tags so will have to wait and see if they are actually in new condition.

Obsidian Mist £20
Royal Pulse £25
Purple Pulse £20

I haven’t initiated the payment yet so might request seller to cancel the order on Purple Pulse.

Yea it’s a little drab in my opinion. Hyper Grape covers that look for me in the Nike Loops.
