Nike Streak LT 2

coastierunner · Jul 12, 2018

5/5

Overall

Other than the original Streak XC, this has been my favorite racing flat. It very light at under 6.25 ounces for a size 13, it has a rather wide forefoot and it has enough cushion up to 10k for me. I'm sure others can go half marathon in them with no problem, but my legs start to feel the beating after about 4 miles. I don't know what they did with the LT 3 but it is not the same and I haven't tried the LT4 yet.

Nike Air Zoom Streak LT 2

Anonymous runner · Jan 3, 2018

5/5

Overall

A light weight racing flat that can handle up to 13 miles on pavement. great for speed sessions on the track when you don't want to spike up but still want to go fast. This shoe is a racing flat by design so you would be lucky to get 400 miles. It's much more versatile than the upgraded version (LT 3).

Perfect shoe for races up to the halfmarathon distance. Light, flexible and smooth. Best shoe I've ever run for fast tempo.

Overall

I got the LT2 for track work and racing, but I've used it for some distance runs as well. I enjoy the ride of the shoe and feel very quick, and I also like that there is some cushion to it - it isn't just a spikeless Matumbo. The one problem I have with it is the lacing; I have to lace them up super tight for them to be snug, only for my feet to lose circulation later on. Maybe I haven't figured it out yet.

Overall

I've been wearing this shoe or the previous versions since they were the streak xc. They are light weight and provide enough traction when they are still new to take off road if you want. They soles do wear out pretty quickly, but I can typically get 300 ish miles out of them. I've wore them for everything from a mile to a marathon, and even for a trail half marathon. Nothing else compares for weight, comfort, and value.
