Nike Streakfly 2
The Streakfly 2 is Nike's short-distance road racer, a featherweight ZoomX shoe built for the 5K and 10K where ground feel and turnover beat max stack. A midfoot plate adds some snap without the stiffness of a full carbon racer. It is a specialist: fantastic for short races and intervals, undercushioned for most runners beyond 10K.
Reach for the Nike Streakfly 2 for race day and tempo days and intervals. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. Expect a firm, low-to-the-ground feel that rewards fast turnover but offers less protection on long efforts.
- Extremely light and nimble
- Great ground feel for 5K-10K racing
- Doubles as an interval shoe
