Okay so Nike tends to put out Victory track spikes every Olympic year. Well we're coming up on one. I know I've seen pictures of Rupp wearing spikes that are not for sale yet (Most likely Victory 3's). So any guesses on when they'll hit the market? Mid-Late December?
Jan of 2017. Sorry to burst your bubble. New zoom d comes out in a couple months in Jan of 2016, however.
Source?
I spoke with a Nike salesman last year who said that both the victories and matumbos would have a new version released before the 2016 olympics
Unfortunately, the rep was misinformed. The new iterations of the Vic and matumbo will be released after Rio. As planned currently, Jan 2017. You won't be disappointed, trust me. They're worth the wait.
Certainly not a nike insider but can confirm that for now the next thing Nike are releasing are Victorys and Matumbos in a new colorway (white/black/blue) and a new distance spike labeled the "zoom d", which looks like its marketed as an all-round distance spike.
Curious thing about the zoom d is that is priced ca. 40$ more expensive than the rival d last time i checked, so perhaps it will also be of similiar quality to matumbos and vics.
Have ordered a pair, will see how things turn out.
Where have you ordered the new Zoom D? I can't find it anywhere.

A nike rep seems like a reliable source. A friend of mine knows one and said January 2016. What makes you so sure 2017?
Oh, 25 years with the company, I suppose. I would venture to guess that the rep was likely thinking of the Zoom D. Release dates with spikes are fairly typical. It could always change, I guess (that's not completely unheard of for releases of new shoes); but as of now, that's just the way it is. As stated, you'll really enjoy the new shoes that Cook, et al have worked so hard to produce these coming 14 months: Zoom D (previously mentioned), seamless technology for well advanced uppers, 3D printing technology for plates, and new versions of both the Victory and Matumbo.
