Solid shoe for speed, but it fits pretty tight compared to their other running shoes. It looks great, and I like taking it out for workouts, but I wish it fit more comfortably for such a high-priced shoe.

The Streakfly is a great shoe for a midfoot/forefoot striker who doesn't need motion control. It is designed as a short distance race shoe, but I wear it for training runs of less than 8 miles.

The streakfly is a great training shoe which I have generally enjoyed for training. As a lightweight and responsive shoe it has been perfect for grass track reps or hill reps. However its marketing as a 5k/10k racer is not what this shoe is cut out for. I certainly would not choose this shoe over a vaporfly or alphafly for any distance on the roads as despite its light weight it does provide enough cushioning or performance needed for the back ends of a race. Additionally, the streakfly is not very durable as I've put less that 80 miles into this shoe and is already showing significant signs of wear. I would recommend this shoe to someone looking to transition into a super shoe as this is an option that is not as aggressive as currently on the market. Overall I would buy this shoe again purely from a training point of view but not for full price as luckily I picked this shoe up for close to 50% off its RRP at a Nike Outlet.
