Prior to its release, expectations were high, and the arrival of the Nike ZoomX StreakFly on the market has only confirmed it. A new member in the powerful arsenal of Nike's flying shoes for distances from 5k to 10k. They are so popular that it's almost impossible to get your hands on a pair, and put them on to bring out that asphalt sprinter in you.
There is not much doubt about it either, and these Nike ZoomX StreakFly Running shoes have already become one of themost relevant and major novelties in the running universe of this 2022. However, we must be aware that the history of the Streak saga has already been written a long time ago.
Being the great reference of the models to fly on asphalt until the irruption of the premium models Nike Vaporfly Next% and Nike Alphafly Next%, one of the great historical milestones of this Streak family had as protagonist Eliud Kipchoge -who else? - when the fastest marathon runner on the planet today achieved his personal bests in the London Marathon and Berlin Marathon 2015 with a prototype of the famous Nike Streak 6.
What's new in the ZoomX StreakFly?
Of course, these new Nike ZoomX StreakFly are a far cry from the Nike Streak 6. But it is also synonymous with the fact that times are changing, and that technological evolution and innovation are the order of the day. In RUNNEA we tell you all the strong points of these ZoomX StreakFly, because it is clear that, if you have the option, you will make this Nike model your favorite to compete in short and medium distances.
Needless to say, the Nike ZoomX Vaporfly Next% and Nike AlphaFly Next% carbon plate shoes have put Nike s Streak saga on the back burner, but they're back, and we've already let you know that the Nike ZoomX StreakFly won't leave you indifferent: lightweight and responsive ZoomX midsole, engineered mesh upper and a trend-setting design. A perfect silhouette to make a difference. We've been waiting for it, and Nike has hit the nail on the head once again!
Competitive advantages of the Nike ZoomX StreakFly
- Dynamic and responsive profile
Unlike the well-known Vaporfly Next%, the Nike ZoomX StreakFly features a lower profile, but also with full-length ZoomX foam. This translates into smoother, lighter and more responsive transitions, but not without protection. Capable of improving momentum and accelerating pace.
A detail to keep in mind is that the geometry of these ZoomX StreakFly is smaller than the Vaporfly Next%, making it a lighter and more aggressive model to bring out your full potential in short distance races. Good cushioning and exceptional rebound.
- Optimal and secure support
As far as the upper of this new Nike flying shoe is concerned, it features an extremely thin and lightweight Knit fabric, but one that is able to ensure an optimal level of support in every stride. In addition, this model implements an extra reinforcement in the front to increase the level of security.
Also noteworthy is the small innovation in the lacing system, which is slightly deviated to the side and works in unison with the tongue, in the form of a groove, which minimizes stress on the instep area.
- Strategic grip and traction
Through the feedback reported by different athletes, Nike s product developers have made an outsole with a pattern that adapts to the way runners step on asphalt. In other words, they have placed traction at strategic points on the shoe to provide solid grip at every phase of the stride cycle to promote momentum and power for every mile you run.
Final Conclusions on the Nike ZoomX StreakFly
With all that these Nike ZoomX StreakFly promise, it's clear to us at RUNNEA that this shoe from the Oregon-based brand will become one of the biggest releases of the year. After the famous carbon plateRunning shoes, these ZoomX StreakFly are the lightest and fastest running shoes on the market to date.
The ZoomX StreakFly directly enters the fray with heavyweights in this category of very fast mixed running shoes such as the adidas Adizero Takumi Sen 8, the New Balance FuelCell Rebel 2, the ASICS Hyper Speed, the Mizuno Wave Rebellion, or the Under Armour Flow Velociti Wind 2, among others.
The Nike ZoomX StreakFly has arrived as an improved version of the competition shoes of a lifetime.
