NIKE ZOOMX STREAKFLY | 100 MILE REVIEW

[@FleamFloogie]

This shoe helped me progress so much! This was the first time I put on a shoe and felt like I was in the year 2099. Also I find people wearing plated shoes with massive soles eating six gels on there 3.5 mile runs becoming more and more popular. 😂

[@EDDBUD]

Not sure I’ve seen many using that many gels. It’s an ok shoe but the upper is massive and parachute like.

[@justinmayes5455]

I remember when the rumors about the streakfly and takumi sen 8 were first coming out. Then they were released and it seemed to me that a large number of people stopped caring when we found out there is no carbon plate. I’m still excited about both, at least for fast training

[@EDDBUD]

Reps at 400 and 800 shoe no major difference. The forgiving foam is nice on the warm down though 👍🏼

[@n.franzen]

@@EDDBUD more or less exactly my impression after a couple of sessions. Not wildly impressed with the shoe tho. I was hoping for something closer to the turbo.

[@mrtwostrike]

For me, these are a modern Peg Turbo 2. Easy runs, tempo runs, light dry trail runs, treadmill runs. Great grip, great comfort, for anything up to 21.1k, they were everything I was hoping for and all for £135 …Love em ❤️‍🔥

[@EDDBUD]

Glad they are working out for you 👍🏼

[@wayned0287]

A lighter runner, with a slight build with wide feet. This is my shoe! I have two pairs and really enjoy them for the uses you’ve said.

[@Brwnvi]

Great review as normal, shows how important the 100 mile review is. Thanks Ed

[@EDDBUD]

Big changes in the upper. 👍🏼

[@attackedbywaterfoul]

I guess I'm one of those smaller runners with wide feet that fall into the use case for this shoe - I really love the more forgiving fit of the upper. The protection underfoot is noticeably less so than higher stack height racers and max cushion shoes, but for me it's a great fast day workout shoe up to around 10 miles

[@desmorris3628]

This shows the value of a longer term review. I was going to get a pair for faster training sessions. Glad I missed the drops. I think I will get a NB TC instead, they are in the sale for 110 earth credits.

[@EDDBUD]

A great shoe. Quite a different beast but still a good option at that price.

[@TrailrunnerTroy]

All hail The SteakFry! My favorite light trainer and even works in slush and snow. But wouldn’t race in it! It’s like a NB Rebel v.2 except that the Rebel is a squishy mess after 10 miles, whereas the SteakFry sizzles with structure. Takumi Sen 8? The racing option for shorter distances that the Nike purports to be!

[@jp05598]

I agree with these being good for track intervals. I used them on the treadmill the other day for a 70 minute run that included 4 x 10 mins at threshold pace and that little fringe on the heel counter chewed up my Achilles and left me with nasty bleeding cuts on both feet and I had thick calf high socks on! It was almost 11 miles and i started notices the pain at about mile 4 or 5. Not fun and I can’t get to the paces I can in the vaporfly. These certainly fell flat for me. I’d give them a 6.8/10

Thank you for the review! Was looking to get these. Always felt great running in flatter shoes like these. Had a pair of neon green NIke Zoomx shoes a few years back and they felt great even for shorter runs like 3-6 miles imo

Many thanks Dan. I try to be me as that is the best thing you can try to be.

[@MiracleWarriors]

Hey EDD , Let us know when you have more information about the Pegasus Turbo Nature . I wonder if the weight will be almost as low as the Streakfly or if it will be high and close the weight of a Gel-Cumulus/Wave Rider . If it is close to the weight of an Adidas Adizero Adios 6 (232g size 9 US) , it will be a blast !

[@JeremyGiese]

One thing I’ll give credit to is Nike honoring their 60 day try on but also the 2year warranty. I actually just sent back a Nike by You Peg 37 cuz holes were developing down inside the heel counter/padding(which I didn’t use them for running). They gave me a refund. I ordered those almost 2yrs ago.

[@EDDBUD]

No way! Amazing they are honouring it. Though a “good” amazing.

[@kwp1977]

My two pairs had the problem of these rubber patches separating from the outersole after only 50-60k

[@alexanderwhyte5316]

I just got the streakfly. I really like it. I think like you say in the video, if you're a fan of old school racing flats, there's a good chance you'll like this shoe imo. It has the weight and flexibility of a racing flat, but with comparatively a lot of cushioning (but a bit less stability however). It's my first time running in zoom x, and I'm really impressed by the energy return. My only issue is that the exposed zoom x gets torn apart very quickly if you run on any terrain rougher than road. After just a single 10k there was a small chunk torn out of the exposed zoom x. The rubber gives good grip though.

[@vayenquist4969]

So far I like them as a treadmill shoe for interval or quick runs. Think the upper material is a bit weird and the white is turning brown/yellow it seems from sweat? Streak Fly’s do not make a lot of noise luckily compared to other Nike’s..

[@iandawson5643]

Just ordered a pair of Streakfly. Looking forward to something with a little bit less cushioning as have used Endorphin Speeds only for the last 2+ years. With regards to performance, I picked up all my PB's between 2015-2017 well before super shoes were around. Trainers back then were just trainers and they worked. Old favourites of mine were Adidas Boston 5's and New Balance Zante 👌🏻

[@EDDBUD]

A race shoe until 2017 was as little as you could get away with. 🤣👍🏼

[@QronoZ713]

I remember picking up the Boston over the Turbo for the bottoming out reason. Really enjoyed the Turbo, but I could really feel like striked through the midsole. Boost can be 2 mm thick and still protective. Wondering about the SL rumour that you presented the other week, very intrigued

[@EDDBUD]

Yes the SL looks cool!

[@dominicmcnamara]

Streakfly and SC Racer were two most anticipated shoes of 2022, I reckon the plate and FuelCell might make the SC Racer take not just top points but even top Takumi Sen 8 as best 5-10k racer for the masses.

[@maxvanlogologomax6971]

I ran it at our local Streakfly launch event, and after 1 minute knew it wasn't for me. Floaty feeling left me wanting more for stability and support. Sticking with the Vaporfly 2, and just got a pair of Takumi Sen 8 in today that I am eager to try!

[@EDDBUD]

It’s bottomed out a bit after 100 miles. Just feels less energising. The sen is the better shoe.

[@brokenfreddy7676]

From the 1st reviews I suspected it would not hold up as a longer run shoe..I've learned over the years that if it's less than 28mm in the forefoot it's gonna go flat quickly..might be good 5k shoe for many people..everything changes with most shoes once you get past 10k..as of now the alphafly, adios pro, acics sky and skechers razor 3 versions are about the only shoes that can go the distance..probably cos there is so much forefoot cushioning that it doesn't go flat..still believe skechers razor has the perfect durometer foam for me..the uppers aren't the best tho..put the old adios pro upper on skechers razor excess+ midsole and have a true marathon shoe..I always look forward to you and Andy videos..nice to hear and review running shoes/gear/kit without the social BS..thanks for what you guys do..

[@EDDBUD]

Glad you enjoyed the review and it had some worth. 👍🏼

Andy The FOD Runner, showed his pair at 100miles and it was showing significant wear at the toe off. Good to see it's not universal for all runners.

Zoomx is merely foam. The zoom air in the peg series is a thin bladder of air. Very compressive in the streakfly. More resilient in the peg. 👍🏼

Maybe I just want to see bad scores, like imdb style :D

[@LearningFast]

Streakfly shoes are terrible. Yes, they are VERY light. However, they absolutely no rebound or energy return like the Vaporfly and Alphafly shoes do. My feet and knees hurt after racing 5ks in them because they don’t have the cushion of the other shoes. Don’t bother with these shoes at all.

[@EDDBUD]

I think it’s a little subjective. Some very light runners doing shorter distances are clearly the scenario here.

[@LearningFast]

@@EDDBUD but that isn’t what the shoe was advertised for. They said it is specifically a 5k through 10k shoe. Maybe it would be a good 1500 meter shoe but I would think the Dragonfly would best it for the track and who races the 1.5k on the road? The issue is that it just doesn’t provide energy return like the other shoes. That is a HUGE disadvantage. I am willing to bet that no records are EVER set with the Streakfly shoes. That is the ultimate judge of how good the shoe is.

[@EDDBUD]

@@LearningFast it seems like a good idea. But the shoe is somewhat flawed.
