Looks like they were selling the Sole as a catch disc several months ago… https://us.vibram.com/shop/shop-all...r=Green#srule=Price-Low-to-High&start=1&sz=12

I can't find on Instagram. Granted, I'm not familiar with instagram nomenclature.
How long until a sell out??
I think this sale MIGHT have been to test the waters. if they don't sell out somewhat quickly or at all....it's not worth getting back into the market. If they sell out quickly (which they did)....hmmmmm, there's a market for these.
So, I think we will be seeing more in the months to come.
But I agree $40 a disc is too much for me....I can get two discs for that price. But, these were advertised as Limited, special dyes.
wtf
you couldnt give away vibram discs back in the day
They have a 'fan club'. I know some players who swore by them and still have Vibram discs. One person just recently quit throwing his Vibram putter.
One of the "pros" I heard about them is that they 'stick' when they land. There's little to no roll away. Elevation Discs Interceptor and Koi are similar to the Vibram as it is mainly rubber.
Imagine rolling your putter up in a ball (or taco style) and tossing it into the basket.
Back when Vibram originally existed, their discs were too unusual....I suspect players wanted the Frisbee-type of disc (plastic) and that is what everyone else produced. So, not enough people bought Vibrams and they dropped out of the market. But now, with discs being made of hemp, rubber, 3d printed, recycled material (in the process...not sure if any are being approved/sold yet), Vibram has a real good chance of making a strong comeback.
Kinda glad seeing the $40 price tag. That's nearly collector price range.
