Redesigned to bring racetrack speed to the road, the Nike Streakfly 2 Glam in Dk Obsidian/Black/Electric Green/Purple Dynasty/Pink Blast/Action Grape borrows shaping from the wildly successful Dragonfly spike for epic low distance speed.
From the road mile up to a 10k, or track athletes during interval or tempo training sessions, the Nike Streakfly 2 Glam is designed to be the fastest possible way to run short distances on the road.Updated to include the carbon fibre Flyplate from the Vaporfly, you get an improved pop of energy, in a tried and trusted shape, perfect for high speeds without being too draining on longer workouts.The rest of your midsole is made from the highest level of ZoomX foam, for super-lightweight cushioning and improved energy return.Almost impossibly lightweight, the sock -like upper provides high end comfort without sacrificing weight or breathability.The incredible weight savings continue on the outsole too, with a blown rubber outsole covering only the forefoot/midfoot for maximum weight loss while also featuring holes in the pattern to continue the trend while maintaining traction.
Carbon Plate
They create the firmer feel that fast racers are looking for and help to guide the foot through your stride, providing a touch of extra support. They can also help create a rocker feel, with the stiffness allowing the shoe to pivot – as the toe goes down, the heel must come up, easing you into your next stride.
Although stiff, they do flex, providing an energised pop of forward momentum as the plate fights to retain its shape.
Each brand, and almost every shoe, uses a plate differently. Different shapes, thicknesses, and designs are used to prioritise a different aspect of performance. Some aim exclusively to guide the stride, while others focus solely on propulsion.

Nike
Blue Ribbon Sports, as they were originally known, began as an importer, offering Onitsuka Tiger running shoes to American athletes in the 1960s. In 1972, they created the first Nike-branded shoe, and the rest, as they say, is history.
As seen on the feet of sports stars and enthusiastic amateurs alike, today Nike continue their mission to “bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world”. And remember: if you have a body, you’re an athlete.
While their spikes have won countless medals, they’re best known for their record-breaking speed range, including the pioneering Alphafly and the legendary Pegasus.
