Nike Zoom Fly 7
The Zoom Fly 7 carries on as Nike's plated super trainer, with a carbon Flyplate and ZoomX-cored midsole tuned for workouts and long marathon-pace efforts. It keeps the durable, do-the-hard-training role that made the 6 popular, with fit and foam refinements. Still the sensible pick for runners who want one plated shoe for both training and racing.
Reach for the Nike Zoom Fly 7 for tempo days and intervals, long runs and race day. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel — great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
- Versatile plated trainer
- More durable than race-day supershoes
- Reasonable price for the tech
- Not as light or bouncy as a true racer
- Firm carrier foam dulls the ZoomX feel
