What runners say

“Each step I took felt like my foot was bare yet protected.”
Dmitri_morse 4/5 Full review
“Nike decided to make the shoe narrower (and $10 more), so I broke through the single-layer upper on both pairs after about 120 miles on each.”
owenpk4120 4/5 Full review
“Minimal stack height and padding, but soft enough to not leave the feet taking the brunt of each step.”
5/5 Full review
“They don't have any grip whatsoever so when the track was a little wet or icy, I couldn't run in them at all.”
thegreathun 4/5 Full review
“The shoe feels springy for the first 200 miles, then works as a good easy day shoe for more miles.”

Overall

Of the many versions of the Streaks, this one is expensive and has some durability issues.  They are trying to hard to make it light weight.  The material tears easily.  However, the feel is good.  The comfort is good.  The shoe feels springy for the first 200 miles, then works as a good easy day shoe for more miles.

Great racing/training flat

Overall

Great flat for speedy days. The pros: * Extremely lightweight * Affordable * Seem durable * Fairly comfortable * Look pretty cool * Anatomical toebox * Good pop * Comfortable sockless The cons: * My foot sits kinda weird in the shoe. Like when I'm walking around in these, my midfoot is tightly wrapped, but my toes kinda float in space. But when I'm running that feeling goes away, so I don't think it's a big deal.

Good shoe for faster runs

Got this shoe to wear for intervals and tempo runs on the track. It is light and has held up well even in workouts on the roads and road race half marathons/10ks. I haven’t had any issues with this shoe

Overall

Freaking love these shoes. Have stockpiled my favorite colors as they come on sale, current pair has 350+ miles on it and still going strong. Great for speed work, tempos, track days, or just easy runs where you want to keep your feet active. Wish they were a hair wider at the toe span, but at the end of the day they're racing flats, so what are you gonna do? I rotate these with Kinvaras and Cliftons. These probably make up 20-30% of my milage.

I purchased as trial pair. Running in Saucony Kinvara for 10+ years. Finally broke 17min in them after 8 years of trying (I also got serious in training!)
