Variants of this shoe
Some shoes have multiple versions of what is essentially the same shoe, with variations in style or materials. We try to group these together. Retailers sometimes list a version number wrong, and our system can treat those mislabeled names as variants.
How it ranks
The Nike Dragonfly 2 Elite is one of the strongest track spikes in our data. Looks and durability are its strongest sub-ratings. Cushioning scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating is based on 13 runner reviews and 3 other rated shoes in the Dragonfly product line.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence is low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
