Curious if anyone's run in both and can offer a comparison. Both have some sort of plate in the midsole to help with responsiveness.
I have the Streak 6 and like it and have raced 5ks up to half marathons in them with no complaints.

Very little in common. Zoom Streak 6 is a traditional, rather firm, marathon racer. Zoom Fly has an almost "Hoka-esque" cushioning, but the plate makes it possible to run fast, unlike most Hokas.
I've raced in both but the Fly is a little heavier than my liking for a racing shoe. It has a good feel but at 8.5 ounces I'd rather keep it as a lightweight trainer for tempos, fartleks, etc.. But once the Vapor Fly comes out that's gonna be my racing shoe of choice for every distance on the roads 5k and up.
OP again here. I like the responsiveness/firmness of the Streak 6 and have run 1:18 half marathons in them.
Any reason to believe the Zoom Fly or the 4% shoes would be any faster?

Yes, the VF are faster. See the feet of all of Nike's elite marathoners. Have any who finished on the podium at any major marathon since March 2016 worn the Streak?
