Carbon-Fiber Plate might take time to get used to.In terms of the adaptation period, there are two main points I could bring up that people would need to adapt to: Overall it’s a very versatile sprint spike that can be used under any distance of 800m. Some Olympic runners such as Clayton Murphy or Athing Mu even use this spike for 800m races, which I think would be fine if you like a more aggressive spike. I found this spike to be fast enough for shorter sprint events such as the 100m race, yet still comfortable enough for 400m distances. This spike was engineered for the 100m - 400m distances and performed excellently for those. It also utilizes 7 spike pins in the forefoot to ensure optimal traction during your race. This spike's plate is Nike’s full-length ShockWave Generated Outsole Plate which is made for smooth transitions as well as extra traction along the entire bottom of the shoe. Those three parts combine to form the most comfortable, yet fastest sprint spike Nike has ever made. This spike had a much different feeling, being that it is very well cushioned thanks to a full-length ZoomX foam paired with an Air Zoom Unit in the forefoot, which also is paired with a carbon fiber plate (Nike’s Flyplate) to still ensure the stiffest ride that I’ve ever felt in a spike. Most sprint spikes have a very low to the ground feel, with minimal cushioning. This sprint spike had one of the most unique rides I had ever raced in, especially for a sprint spike. When lacing the spike, the upper hugs the foot nice and snug which ensures a great lockdown ride while racing. The fit of this spike was spot on being that it runs true-to-size. long-distance (5k-10k) races for this category, the Nike ZoomX Dragonfly is worth checking out.mid-distance events (800m-3k) in this case, try the Nike Air Zoom Victory.a very aggressive and springy yet comfortable track sprint spikeĭo not buy this shoe if you're looking for a spike meant for:.a spike that performs great for short distance track races (100m - 400m).the highest quality sprint spike on the market.
