I've been doing most of my training in the Nike xc streak 3 and am wanting to buy another pair but cannot find a pair anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find a pair, I can only find them in small sizes, and I need a 10.5.

If you can't find any old XC 3's, the Nike Zoom Streak LT is virtually identical to the Streak XC 3, just with a new name and a different colored upper.

I assume they decided that calling it the XC was misleading for a shoe that's just as much a road flat.
I have a pair of XC 2s in 10.5 that I only wore for two workouts. Obviously not the same thing, but if you're interested, I could certainly part with them for very cheap. Too narrow for me.
Thank you very much, I will look into those
they should have named it the streak r or something. the lt is really mroe of a racing flat than a light trainer and the xc really only works for xc if its on pretty flat dry grass or trails

The XC 2s are better in my opinion.
They are EXACTLY the same shoe save for a few vey minor differences.
1) The xc 2 has a better tongue. It is paper thin and light (as it should be in a racing flat). The geniuses at nike decided to fix something that wasn't broken with the xc 3 and added a ton of padding to the tongue.
2) the swoosh was knit onto the shoe with the xc 2. On the xc 3 they decided to do a cheap screen printing job.
3) the XC 2 had kickass colors. It came in neon green or orange. The xc 3 and LT have stupid color designs.

I don't agree with #1. The xc 2's super thin tongue caused the tops of my feet to hurt. I don't like the ton of padding on the tongue now, but its an improvement. But its like they went from a house cat to a tiger in terms of the tongue, when people need a lion.

Funny, the padded tongue on the XC 3 and LT cause the tops of my feet to hurt. the XC 2's tongue was perfect.
Does anyone know where I can find a pair of the streak 2's?

See my post above. If you're interested, I'll give you an email address.
Cut the tongue with a razor, remove the padding. fixed.
Hey suburbanxcore, are those still up for sale? Also, what color are they? Thanks!
