Nike have done very well with the Alphafly 3 and ZoomFly 6 this year. And the Vaporfly 3 isn't terrible by any means. But yeah, their other lines are a bit questionable. They need to decide whether they go true running performance or the lifestyle route with these shoes. Regarding max stack, I think if a brand wants to beat the Asics Superblast 2 they need to use their premium foam and go head to head in a similar simple set up. Don't overthink things! I don't care if it is a copycat so long as it delivers a similar performance, at a similar height, weight and durability and cheaper pricepoint it will grab marketshare. A lot of these high stack options are just too heavy when you have the Asics SB2 around. My humble opinion. Merry Xmas Edd! Thanks for the vids this year.

As a fan of Nike, I definitely hear you Ed. Prior to this line up adjustments I think I’m with most that we still really like their top racers, but everything else was a bit of a mess…. Except I’ll count myself in the Invincible camp as I have many pairs of 1,2 &3 (quite enjoy the 3 actually). Was seeing the Fly series as the other trio. Absolutely love the ZF6 and the VF and AF are top tier racers. Just wonder what that may mean for plans of the Streakfly 2? It’s another one that I enjoy, but 5 more mm of foam would be exceptional! 👟 🔥
@EDDBUD18 күн бұрын
I liked the invincible. Always worked well. The v1 was super soft and they should have worked with the no strobel so the insole was directly on top the foam. The v2 and 3 went away from that and it became a bit firmer.

Great vid! 1) Re Nike, organizing their lineup makes some sense, “stability line” and “racing line (including Zoom Fly 6),” I can understand. But what’s the point of the Peg and Vomero categories? Peg is daily and Vomero is stack/recovery? Seems like a lot of overlap. 2) Re max stacks, all I can say is Peg Turbo at, what 28mm rear and 18mm forefoot, was plenty of cushion for me at 175-185lbs, plenty of bounce, plenty of protection for my sometimes problematic knees. So just my pov, I don’t understand the need. Plus, research shows the average runner does 3-4 runs per week, 3-5 miles per run - does that warrant such deep stacks of foam? I watched your Adios 9 vid, my first thought was wondering if they could be similar to my beloved Peg Turbos as a daily trainer.
@EDDBUD16 күн бұрын
Well, stack has come a long way in a short time. The Adios 9 is certain for the old school enthusiasts.

I think the Zoom Fly 6 is the evolution we wanted from the original Pegasus (35) Turbo which we all hoped was a gap the Streak Fly might have filled. I think the reason the Zoom Fly is not mentioned is that it doesn’t fit into any other range. As you alluded to, a plated shoe with no air pod makes its pretty unique in terms of tech for a Nike shoe. It could easily be an Alphafly training partner but from a tech perspective the lack of airpod would not be good marketing, even with AKs seal of approval. For what is potentially one of the best shoes Mike has produced in years, it’s not a great look that it not an ‘air’ product so you wonder whether they are almost sweeping it under the carpet to prevent a longer term detriment to the brand

I agree, cushion for the sake of cushion doesn't work. Most of these uber-cushioned shoes really has one gear (recovery/easy) and I don't think they deserve premium prices as a result. Prime X Strung OG and SuperBlast 2 are the only ones I can justify extra cost. Other than those, I use older racing shoes for my longer runs: mostly lighter, more versatile and cushion for a reason.

The Vaporfly3 and Alphafly3 are my go-to racers along with the Sky-Paris. I confess some surprise that you didnt touch on the Paris shoes which are great for racing and feel closer to the ground. I might try the Adidas racing shoes in 2025, but in 2024 the Adidas racing shoes (short of the 500$ model) didnt strike me as as balanced (esp for corners) or as providing more pop than the Nike racers.

Thanks for the interesting and entertaining content! The shoe world is on fire, so many great shoes. Literally something for everyone I’d say. My take on Nike is biased because I wish they’d “just do product” and leave all of the social posturing be. Not everyone agrees with me and that’s cool. The brand began as a running shoe venture out of Oregon, with lady Bowerman’s waffle iron. They were sold at track races out of car trunks, or boots as you’d say. I wish they’d get back to their roots a bit more. In the meantime I have ASICS and Adidas and Puma to keep me busy! Merry Christmas Edd!

Adidas have invested a lot of money in signing quality athletes as have Nike and to a lesser extent Asics and On. Who has the current Mens and Womens World records and what brand shoes were they wearing? Nike Alphafly 3. That doesn't necessarily mean it is the fastest shoe out there? Is it the athlete, the shoes or something else that gets them this record time? And just because it works for an elite does it work for the non elite runner? Happy New Year Edd! And thanks for all the interesting viewing this year.

The other tiers will consist of the worlds biggest variety of daily trainers 😅. As well, I see in the not too distant future shoes with removable plates. When the foams goes, you remove the plate, when you're doing a recovery run, you remove the plate.

PS I'd rather have a solid line up of racing/high end training running shoes that cost way more (more profit) than try to sell a million Brooks Ghost at 50% off. Agree that the lower stack shoes make a comeback. Seems things will swing from one end to the other, just like the rest of life. As long as the Prime X 3 is good, 2025 will be a great year!!!!!!!!! 😂

Where in Nike’s new layout is the Alphafly Vaporfly and ZoomFly? To me these are their top running shoes but they are not mentioned in the new layout. Maybe I’m being too harsh but I don’t remember seeing any Pegasus or Vomeros atop any race podiums. I guess they decided to push the cash cows. Well we can always find those cows in the discount bins soon enough. And yes major kudos to Nike for the ZoomFly 6. I bought 3 pairs. Awesome shoe! I have the Adidas EVO SL and the Adidas Pro4. Both are excellent. Great job Adidas. I have high expectations for 2025 from Saucony and Mizuno as well. Hoka is really stepping up their game too. 2025 is going to be another great year for running shoes.
