so i was snooping around and found this on their website. Dubbed “K-ruuz” the racing flats that many have been asking for or wondering about are set to be released the Monday following Kona. I know i want a pair!

Agreed. i saw them @IMLP. reminded me very much of the Nike Katana racer.
The new racing flat (the K-Ruuz) will be launched and available in Kona in a limited quantity. It is light (less than 6 oz), fast (just ask Matty Reed), with excellent drainage and breathability (perfect for hot weather races). with cushioning not found in most flats. It will be available at retail in early 2010
Damnit I was hoping this rumor was true. grrr
the website says over 6 oz…and matty has bigger feet…
I’m eager to run in these!!!

What will be better than Nike’s Lunaracer?
It’ll be heavier. Less cushioning may not be a downside but could actually be better for short races. But now that you praise cushioning “not found in most flats”…
Thanks

What is the differnce between k-ona and k-ona S. How do they compare with the mi-sole? Im running in the mi-sole right now.
the K-ona has a regular sandwich mesh upper (like most running shoes) and the K-ona s has a single layer poly upper that is very unique. gives with the foot, most of the KSwiss athletes like to race in this one because it gives with swelling so getting blisters is very rare. it also breathes a little better and doesn’t hold water so the shoe stays light even after pouring water on them. most of the gang trains in the K-ona and races in the K-ona s. in Hawaii we will debut 6 new k-ona s styles with country flag themes. USA, AUS, Brazil, Canada, Germany, and Japan. very cool! Uli, the lunar racer is a great shoe and i wouldn’t tell anyone otherwise. we do have a full cushioned stroble board between the midsole and the foodbed whcih is very uncommon on shoes that light. the cushioning is fantastic.

any chance you guys can include a Mexico flag theme?

IOW, I stick to my Nikes because they are better. Good for you that they are messing up the shoe for next season with a slight support. 
Hey,
What is the difference in the KONA and KONA-C?
Will you have all of the new shoes at IM Arizona?
Thanks- Mike from Canada
we should have all the flag product and racing flats there as well. canada flag K-ona as well. the k-ona c should read the keahou c which is a carbon edition.
I saw the flat at IMMoo, and it looked beautiful! Can’t wait to try a pair, as the fit looks like it would be super for my foot. Nice job with this…
from the photos the K-Ona S, looking at the Blue Water colored ones, They look like the holes in front of toes arent there like the white and gold, is this true? That would be great for winter…
Does the k-ona have more cushioning then the mi-sole? Which heal is higher?
