I loved running in 2003 Nike Kukinis (velcro straps and holes in the sole.) Light, cool, even felt breezes while wearing them. I would pick them up for $30-40 at outlets, buying all they had in my size. Used to scour ebay and snatch them to destroy also. This included a few one-off colors and even prototypes (which fell apart quicker). After paying about $150 for a pair from England I decided it was time to find a new running shoe.
That said I really love running in Flyknit Free's for the same reason and no laces is even easier than velcro.
