Is the Nike Zoom Fly5 an underrated pair of carbon plate running shoes?

Mondo Fashionable Updated on 2024-01-30

In May last year, the Nike zoom fly series ushered in a new generation, this time the zoom fly5 generation can be said to have fallen from the altar to the mortal world in everyone's reputation at that time, as a nike carbon plate racing training running shoe, the zoomfly series has always had good performance.

The midsole of the whole pair of shoes is made of SR02 foam material as the outer frame, but the Zoom X made of ** material is placed inside the frame, and we can clearly see the Zoom X material through the midfoot part. As a pair of super heavy running shoes, if we are at high speeds, our feet will feel very heavy, especially if we have already exceeded 5 kilometers and our feet will feel tired, so these running shoes are completely unsuitable for any kind of racing. The embedded Zoom X material does not play any soft elastic role, and the SR02 foam material on the periphery seems to be felt the most at each step.

As a full-palm carbon plate material, you can still feel the rolling feeling of the carbon plate in the acceleration state, although its rigidity is not strong, but the efficiency of stretching from the heel to the forefoot is still clearly improved. Especially for mass runners who want to try the taste of carbon plate running shoes, then starting with these shoes is one of the good choices.

Regarding the upper part, the first thing to be clear about is the time required for running-in, and when you first put on the foot, you will feel that the shoe face of the whole pair of running shoes will press the instep of the midfoot. However, after more than 20 kilometers of running-in, this sense of oppression will gradually disappear.

The new generation of ZoomFly has increased in weight, and the whole pair of running shoes has become more rounded, without the sense of speed that the previous carbon plate running shoes should have. Although it is said that the zoom X material is used, it is not clear in terms of foot feeling, but the carbon plate is not so strong, but it is suitable for mass runners.

Many people have this pair of zoomfly5 generation positioning is very vague, is a pair of elite runners do not like the carbon plate running shoes, through my long-term experience, it is positioned in long-distance cruising running shoes, and at the same time for runners are not very demanding, if it is long-distance jogging training or stable pace training, this pair of shoes can still be worth choosing.
