Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone had any decent conditioned Nike Zoom Ventulus spikes? I am a very big fan of the spikes and would love to get my hands one a pair.
Thank you,

What size? What version (orginal, plus, 2)? Colorway?

Good shoe, not amazing.
I would want anything size 11-12.5. Hmm, in terms of colorway I would prefer that Cheetah Print version.
They were a great spike at the time, but the current nike spikes are better. Like Jasaris there is more nostalgia-hype than warranted probably.
The old vents have a single flat, relatively hard plate and are a bit heavier than current nike spikes. Very straightforward, flat sole, nothing fancy. The matumbo plate (which is also the same on the vent 2) is softer for most of it, but has the hard horseshoe and heel which is really all you need. The matumbo is a bit lighter than the vent 2 due to the upper (though a lot less comfortable) and both are a fair amount lighter than the OG Vents.
Sorry I know that's not what you asked, I don't know where to get the spikes.
I have a couple pairs of the Matumbos and do like them, but I do want to experience the Ventulus deals. They are apparently five times more comfortable than Matumbos-from what I hear.

I have the Ventulus + in size 12, brand new in box. If you are interested, send me an email and I can send you pictures.
Good choice. My dad had a pair when we were about the same shoe size. I enjoyed them, and still think that colorway is nice. Never tried the vent plus, but spike plate is the same.
What's the difference versus the plus and Originals?
I believe the vent plus has the Lanang upper, which is a mesh (like for steeplechase so the water drains right out).
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?

How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?

Red Bull (who sponsors Mondo) calls Mondo the pole vaulting Usain Bolt. Is that a fair comparison?
