Thanks again for the opinion but not sure I agree with the “just buy the Speeds” outcome. You could say that about a lot of shoes. Vaporfly? You’d say the same thing. It’s not designed as an everyday trainer. The Streakfly is specifically designed for a purpose, much like many shoes and it should be compared to similar low stack 5k or 10k shoes.
Actually I’d say buy the Vaporfly over these … as they are more versatile … I agree the Streakfly is designed for a specific purpose which I’ve got mine for but what we concluded is that the shoe is good but we’d rather buy something more versatile that you can do more in
has toby done the same distance in rebel v2? how does it compare to the streakfly? wondering whether the streakfly can be a direct replacement to a rebel v2 for us everyday runners.
I’m on the Nike notify list here in the u.s. My purpose is solely to use these for high intensity training. I tried the ASICS hyper speed yesterday and I felt too much road feel for my liking. Kinda wanna save my vapor flys so I’m thinking this may be a good option.
@@dan-zo4eb that’s not encouraging, maybe we’ll get lucky and Nike will provide more. Sorta reminds me of the puma nitro elite last year. I was lucky enough to get a pair but I watched that drop like a hawk. Appears to be marketing ploys to create scarcity and drive up demand. Adidas did the same with the prime x last year as well.
Superfan of your pragmatic reviews always. I think the Nike streakfly will be a pass for me. Don't need a dedicated 5k racer in my rotation since I'm more focused on 1/2 and marathon training
Even though we don’t have them in the states yet, I’d have to agree. For the price, just get the Endorphin Speed. It’s a more versatile shoe for about the same price. I’d even consider the Asics MagicSpeed if you are looking for a specific 5k/10k racing shoe. I get the idea behind this, but for 80% of the world that’s an every day runner, the 5K/10K distance could easily be done in a daily trainer and still be competitive.
Kenilworth. Great video Chris. Very interesting review maybe I won't buy them when they get released and go for a shoe where I will get more usage from it.
Hello from Ireland, I raced in the Hoka Mach 4 last Sunday and they were great but I noticed 90% of the elites were wearing alphafly or vaporfly with the odd Saucony thrown in, for the rest it was a mixture of all makes and brands.
I really feel like most people aren’t approaching these shoes in the right way. Ten minute mile long run? Slow 5k? Runners at Nike have them the OK on this model based off of 4-4:30 mile pace training. They’re not using the Speed 2 or 1 for that
Sure but we aren’t elites so not reviewing as elites we looking at it as everyday runners and giving an opinion which we aren’t saying is right it’s just an opinion
Interesting take, I never found that was the case for the rebels but I’ve only used them on treadmill and track 10 mile tempo runs. I have gotten hot spots on my toes almost every time though
Where abouts are we? I'm from Turkiye (pronounced Turkia, as in Italia, Latvia, Estonia etc etc, just because some hundred years ago english speakers could not pronounce Turkiye, we go stuck with 'Turkey' lol, anyways). Good review as always, besides to top-tier Nike shoes, somehow I have this fear of any of Nike's relatively cheaper shoes, fearing I may not be gettig what I pay for, I don't know I think I was Nike traumatized in the past. lol
Personaly at the moment, I'm keeping my money and waiting until Puma releases their 2022 line in my country. I think they will be a much much better buy than their counterparts at Nike. Let's see.
I already have a great 5k /10k shoe in the razor excess and ill be picking up the adios 6 in the summer..so wont be buying the streakfly, although it will probably be popular with a lot of people And im still running in my speeds 150 mile in them now still feeling great!a great shoe
I have 300 miles on mine now. Still good but has lost some pop. I have 2 more pairs of this original endo speed in reserve! Will probably bust 1 out in March.
It looks to me that hype easily sells way more than substance. Not to say that this shoe couldn't be good (I actually haven't even had yet in my hands, and never plan to do), but new generation shoes are so much talked about before release, that people feel the urge to get them regardless of their actual expected use and purpose. Big money spent for the joy of Nike and often no return at all but own vanity...
From n Ireland 😬, Nikes not for me, too snug for my foot, honestly when I hear Nike I think nah, all the so called non pro idiots out there wear them thinking they are great !😬for an everyday runner, nova blast, all day long 🏃🏼♂️💨💨👍

Can you recommend a better or equal 5K road race shoe?

Probably suit then if a sole purpose
The nike notification email didn't work properly in the UK, I received about 10 minutes after they dropped and by this time they had almost sold out

@@montesquieu5180 Very best of luck for the Streakfly drop in the US
@@montesquieu5180 Also the drop in the UK was on the 28th January , The day after it was said to be due and occurred at 0800hrs.
If my marathon target pace is in the 4 hour range do the endorphin speed 2s make sense or do I have to be a faster runner
Nope perfect

Yeah that’s where I think we are at as well. Not saying the shoe is not awesome just what’s the justification for it really hey 🤩
Nike styles are way better. I just see aisecs and sauconys very bad in style. I look like im an old guy😅
Kenilworth. Great video Chris. Very interesting review maybe I won't buy them when they get released and go for a shoe where I will get more usage from it.
Thanks
So many good shoes

@@FordyRuns just saying most people. Most channels are saying the same things 👍🏼
@@justinmayes5455 I don't think Nike runners would be allowed to wear speed 2 or 1
@@apollocreed3263 sure, but they’re not using the tempo next% for a 200 workout.
Absolutely beautiful 😍 can’t wait to try and get a pair
Hope you like them
Are the saucony endorphin speed 2, true to size? I’m tempted to try them… never had Saucony apart from XC spikes.
Yes they are
@@FordyRuns thanks!
Get them mate. I got some and just knocked 4 minutes off my 10k
I have the original endo speeds they’re worth every penny. I’ve run my half marathon and 10 mile pb in them
You are a no BS guy, I usually agree with the majority of your assessments which seem more genuine than other 'shoetubers'
Thank you mate much appreciated
Fordy, try do a video on comparison between Streakfly and Metaracer. Tq. Appreciate it.
Good shout once I’m back running 100%
Excellent review. I love light shoes for my easy long runs but I guess it is a bit like my Rebel V2. Midsole dead after about 8k or so..
Thank you and thanks for the feedback
Interesting take, I never found that was the case for the rebels but I’ve only used them on treadmill and track 10 mile tempo runs. I have gotten hot spots on my toes almost every time though
Does anyone definitely know when the US drop date is
Great video!
Thank you
how many miles should it last
says not many but I reckon might be ok

Yeah agree … TOBY liked the shoe not saying it’s no good but it’s just a bit of a waste of time for most people
I was one of the no subscribed idiots. Done bud! 🤣👌

Already have the TS8’s. Won’t bother with the Streakfly
I love my TS8’s
@@FordyRuns my fav shoe of 2021 Fordy 👍
I agree overhyped shoe, I sent mine back speeds are much better all round. Save your money people
I have had a few people tell me the same
Nice color i love it
It’s a pretty shoe
