Thank you for your kind words! 😊 and yes, red and black bands are the ones which seem to work best
very nice band, I was thinking about this combo as well! appreciate all of your posts - not a ton of people with the RED edition and it's not always super easy to judge what bands work well. I feel like black and red bands generally are the best looking to pair with the RED but some of the international ones you grabbed look great

Gold SE with Nike Ironstone/Black

I’ve always loved the OG Black Sport Loop. It was my first Loop and I still enjoy it every time I come around to wearing it. I find it so unique with its multi color specs that people either hate or love. Looks awesome!
It took me by a total surprise. I was really unsure how I'd like it in real life but I'm sick of my daily driver Nike black (not black enough for my taste with the gray undertones) so figured why not replace it with a different black sport loop, thought about NZ too but the white rails would definitely end up being a disaster. So ended up getting the OG Black one and after having it on my wrist for some days over last two weeks it firmly took place #5 on my top 5 sport loops.

I am rotating between this, product red sport loop, and knockoff black braided loop

Your daily driver black, is it the black Nike Loop non reflective? The stripes are thicker on that one because the reflective one is pretty black since the reflective lines are thin.

I have the reflective Black, not Pure Platinum. I think you know what I mean but here's my best effort to show them to other people who don't have this band.

I meant the narrow gray threads which run between every other reflective one, hard to see and even harder to photograph. They are quite well hidden because reflective threads are so bright but when you know what to look for they are quite visible and make the whole band look sort of dusty or dirty.

I completely understand! I would say it’s its own style just like the multicolored specs on the OG Black Loop. I know you mentioned NZ Loop which I own as well and it is definitely the deepest black but I hear you on the white rails especially if it became a daily band.

I just can't help but to think how much better it would be as a proper black band (like it looks in your picture few posts up) or closer to Black/Pure Platinum with clearly visible lines like Summit White has.

Anyway, here's World Indigo/Lime Blast all of you terrible enablers made me buy. I like it more than I expected to, indoors it's pretty much just a jumbled mess of cool color tones, but take it outside and the colors become really distinct, especially lime which pops.
