Yeah, but if you buy it at the release price.....

Yeah, its for notebooks and other stuffs....A Lot of pockets and compartments in there. The skin is waterproof and padded well. Adjustable straps and hip contact pads for weight managements. You can carry heavy things in this and your shoulders don't feel the strain...

I Admit the colours are a bit dodgy but its really very nice in the flesh. The turtle look is many due to the camera angle.....

Other Colour types not available here.....

RM700? Whoa I thought only Nike basketball shoes reach that price? Anyway I haven't heard about the new one. Even NIKE EPIC 2 hasn't come to Msia in the 2nd release but it does look a bit sissyfied compared to the EPIC GRAPHIC.

Anyway I've scouted for new ones and they aren't any but NIKE has made some new Lappy BackpackS with the same concept of weight management like the EPIC. It looks really nice and lighter than the EPIC as it doesn';t have the hard shell but instead a built in frame to retain the mould of the bag. Its slightly cheaper at RM300 and has lotsa pockets......Saw it at AL-IKHSAN when I got mine...

P:S If they would have been a new EPIC going for RM700..I would Never think about getting itV . This one is priced alright for me.....And YES Mine is also tagged with the warranty valid in America only, and the bag is made in China.,,,What happened to yours by the way?

Oh, is it the gutter string which tightens your bag by pulling it over the zips and hooking it to the top portion? That can tear so easily?

Oh...so your bag still functions lar....its just the metal thing which prevents the fabric from tearing has broken right???

Well I will heed your advice. Just that I feel the shoulder straps are prone to creases. When I got mine there were only 2 units and both had some creases. I picked the one with the least lines on the shoulder strap. After using yours for Months now, how bad are the lines on YOUR shoulder strap?

P:S on another note, if you search GOOGLE iMages for NIKE EPIC/NIKE EPIC GRAPHIC You will see that some parts of the bag are not the same as the ones we get here. For example the net thingy which you can take out have 8 hooks on it as opposed to 7 on ours. And on the back portion of the bag which keeps in contact on our backs. The ones we get here have 2 huge shoulder pad which protrudes to minimise contact and provide airflow. The ones on google have 2 S shapes facing each other on some glossy like fabric. Other deails the same....
Did you notice this Shinigami?

I See, so you noticed too...Well I was just wondering if ours can be counted as BioKNX technology? Cos I read the review of the other EPICS and its stated that you can adjust the curvature of the back of the bag os something like that...Are the ones here FAKES??? Or a redone design?

I agree with you the padding on ours is better as you really feel the minimal contact. As for Lumbar S panel, did you mean the 2 contact points at the hips with the netting?

i see....Thats why all those mambo-jumbo got me searching as the NIKE Tag which came with the EPIC just read EPIC and didn't come with an additional TAG inside with BioKNX written on it like in this pic below...And I think the 2 S shapes at the back portions are the lumbar thingy......

YeaH ME TOO....I saw a brisk image in a gif file online showing how the contours were adjustable...or so I thought.....Anyway is the bag waterproof? i've never tried it yet...

Hey, when you free fo check out Nike shop megamall....They have some BioKnX acg backpacks and the back portion is truly adjustble. Each back has a BioKNX tag stiched into it....

Oh ya.,...the newer EPIC Graphic you were telling? I saw it there too....Nice colour and the mould/skeleton outer structure on the newer epic has engravings on it and comes in a glossy beige color. It cost a whopping RM759....

If you do get the newer EPIC, Do post pics for all to see....No BioKNX on it though. Same science as the EPIC we have

omelette,

You want sling bags?

What lar.....Lazy fella.....Okie I will post these which If I remember correctly were selling at NIKE midValley for Around RM250. But bear in Mind they are nice, cool and have a lot of adjustable strings/belts/pockets....but not very good for carrying notebooks...the BioKNX for these bags include lumbar surve adjustments and volume adjustments like the EPIC to keep goods stored nearest to the body....Hell a lot of adjutsble stuffs...just waht guys like playing around with....

Yeap, I would say that the Nike Epic is more to the expensive side....Nike is selling theirs for RM599 and the New one for RM759...

Anyway I used it for travelling with my notebook and electronics inside plus some clothes. It turned out fine and I didn't have strained shoulders. The weight to hip transfer works and helps even/share the load.....

hmmm...how bout the ERGO backpacks currently selling here as idragon....you should be able to spot them in skater shops in Bukit bintang area. I've been using one for 2 years and its good to lug around,but it lacks the interior volume of the EPIC plus it doesnt have that many pockets for my liking. But it does stir some attention when it comes to being trendy....



P:S The sticker of Bender was put there by yours truly

Yup design is nice. The newer one in NIKE midvalley even nicer . The price? Whoa....even bigger....

Yup. The newer design is a bit more special as the hard part of it is engraved with black line. Makes it look like a piece of art....go NIKE MidValley Megamall....Right at the back where the bags section is. Both current EPICs on display.....

Well, depends on the person really. If you going to travel a lot, your Epic wIll get dirty anyway and after a while its usual. Just the periodic cleanup...not an everydaything......

Care to share pics? I also saw a new NIKE backpack for LAppies at AL-Ikhsan ...Dark colour....but selling around RM250.

So what do you think about the NEW EPIC? Sweet? Which Shop in THE CURVE? Its basically the same back but with a different design and pain job. How much for the old and new EPICS? RM599 and RM759 respectively?

If I remember correctly, the NIKE Lappie backpack was selling for around RM270. It has a small resemblance to the NIKE EPIC cos of its build and has about the same volume but a lot of pockets....That was a nice bag....Saw at al-ikhsan....Try and check this out....also dark coloured....The New Epic looks like its made more for gals IMO....
