Freshman high school, run 800/1600/3200.
Last year as 8th grader I ran 2:17/5:07/11:08 in flats and am a lot bigger/stronger/better shape this year.
My dad ok'd $125 to buy new spikes. So do I get the Zoom Victory 3 or the Matumbo? And, where does the Mamba3 fit it?
Thanks
1. Get the Mambas in black.
2. Then have T-shirt made that says I am the Black Mamba.
3. Win
Go with the Victories my man. I have both the new matumbo and victory. I only use the matumbo for 10K and long track intervals because it has a lot of cushion for the long events. The victories are amazing for 800-5K.
I also work at a Fleet Feet. Trust me dude. Victories won't let you down. Good luck with your season!

Just curious, what is purpose of the Mamba since description seems to be the same for it as for Vic3?
I've never worn the Matumbos, but I recently wore the victory 3s for a 3k and they were great. They'll also serve you well for shorter distances which the Matumbos might not. As for mambas, they're mainly a steeplchase spike and I've heard mixed reviews, so I'd go with vics
The spikes don't come out of the Matumbo's so if you need 1/8th spikes indoors your screwed. Whatever shoe fits best wear it...
