way other other on these changes

The biggest difference I notice with regard to fit is up front – v2 offers a bit more volume for my toes. It could be the more elastic mesh over the forefoot, or maybe a slight change to the shape of the toebox. Whatever the explanation, I prefer the fit of v2 overall.
One of Nike Air Max Tavas Femme the big Nike Air Huarache Damskie differences between the uppers of the two versions is the overlays. Launch 2 gets rid of the extensive stitched overlays of the original and replaces them with welded overlays. I like this change as you could feel the stitching internally in Launch 1 – the interior of Launch 2 is softer and smoother. I also prefer the aforementioned forefoot mesh in v2 – it has more give than the corresponding mesh on v1.

Finally, Nike Air Zoom Spiridon Damskie the heel collar and tongue differ a bit between the two shoes. The heel collar of v2 is lined by a softer material, and the tongue is a bit more padded. The top of the heel tab is also more rounded in v2. I can’t honestly say I have an opinion one way other other on these changes. Both versions also have a prominent plastic heel counter – did not cause any trouble for me in either shoe.
Overall, I’d probably say that I Nike Roshe Run Mujer prefer the upper and fit of Launch v2. It offers just a tad more wiggle room up front, fewer stitches, and an overall softer feel.
Whereas I preferred the upper of Launch v2, I prefer the sole of v1. What I recollected most about the original Launch were the smooth ride and the soft, forgiving heel cushion. When I took them for a refresher run last week they still felt great (apparently sole cushion can hold up for 4-5 years in an attic!), and I was reminded of why I loved them so much.
The Launch 2 feels just a tad firmer to me under the heel – it just doesn’t have the same level of cush. I’m not sure if it’s the substitution of a DNA/BiMoGo blend for BiMoGo in the heel of v2 or some other aspect of the sole construction, but v2 ride was not as much to my liking. I should point out that perception of cushioning can be highly variable, and Nike Roshe Run Femme Becki Pierotti over at The Middle Miles thinks Launch 2 feels softer than the original. Best to try it and come to a verdict for yourself I guess.
