Nike Zoom Victory Elite 2 - A Great Spike

We The North · Jul 2, 2018

5/5

Overall

Overall, I have had a very positive experience using the Elite 2 spikes. These spikes have held up well over an entire track season and a great for a variety of events. Personally, I have worn them for 800's to two mile races and even a few steeplechases. They are an aggressive spike and force you to get up on your toes. The toe box is very "roomy" even for someone with wider feet. My only compliant is the spikes are non-removable, however I believe that this has changed for newer colorways.

Great racing spike

Alexfriend14 · Jun 1, 2018

5/5

Overall

Perfect racing spike for 800 and 1500m. The firmness really helps and is noticeable throughout the race. Really good for faster stronger athletes. Would recommend over the Nike victory 3 which are less firm.

Fast and Tough

Dmitri_morse · Apr 16, 2018

5/5

Overall

The Nike Zoom Victory Elite 2 spike is something else in the track and field game. The 3D printed bottom allows for a one of a kind shape and traction for the spike. The Carbon fiber shank running from toe to heel thrusts you forward to race the clock and beat your best time. I love these spike because they look slick feel fast and most importantly are fast. The durability is low however on the upper due to the lightness of the flymesh material. If you do end up tripping up and catching a toe on the ground chances are they will rip. These spikes helped me get new PR's in all my events and get a college scholarship to UVU.
