RUNNING SHOES
For great athletic feats, you first need great athletic feet
Nike ZoomX Streakfly
£135 / nike.com
Peer down at the feet of the athletes leading the pack of pretty much any race, and you’ll probably spy a sea of highly stacked shoes with that big swoosh. Nike dominates the PB scene thanks to its groundbreaking Alphafly and Vaporfly race shoes – and while the new Streakfly might not be built for breaking marathon records, it may well grab you a rapidfire 5K or 10K one instead.
Unlike the Alpha and the Vapor, there’s no carbon plate in sight here. Instead, Nike uses a full length of its ZoomX foam that’s stacked lower than its long-distance shoes, to still deliver plenty of snappiness in the ride and offer protection as you hit that race pace.
