Nike Streakfly 2

Aggressive short-distance racing shoe with a direct and nimble ride

Buy now for $180
The Nike Streakfly 2 has the geometry of a track spike but is built for the roads. Its near-negative drop silhouette practically demands a strong forefoot strike—AKA running painfully fast. The Streakfly 2 is the kind of shoe you carry to the park or double back home for—only laced up for your toughest miles. It rides like a lower-stacked ASICS Metaspeed Sky Paris, pairing a beautiful implementation of ZoomX foam with improved outsole rubber and a more aggressive plate. Here at Supwell, we believe the Nike Streakfly 2 is, without a doubt, the premier 800-meter to 5K racing shoe on the market. It’s a featherweight Cinderella slipper for hobby joggers looking to push past their limits.
