    Pros

    At 3.8 oz, one of the lightest spikes in the catalog.

    Reviewers rate appearance 5.0 out of 5 and say the upper eases over time.

    Cons

    The spikes are not replaceable, and reviewers say a single chipped pin or a step on concrete ends the shoe.

    Durability draws 2.8 out of 5 across four reviewers, and value 3.0.

    The Zoom Matumbo 2 before it scores 96 on four reviews against its 72.

    Not available at tracked retailers right now.

    Pros

    All four reviewers so far rate comfort 5 out of 5, and one barely gets sore from racing in them.

    Runners race it from 1500m to the 10K and in cross country.

    At 3.8 oz, light even among racing spikes.

    Cons

    Durability is the weakest dimension at 3.8 out of 5, and one reviewer calls it horrible.

    One reviewer finds it has less pop than a Nike Zoom Victory over 800m.
