Saw them, not too many reviews online. $50 cheaper than the Dragonfly, but looks to be in the same vein of higher cushion yet lightweight spikes. Has anyone used them and if so would they be suitable for racing, or only training?

I’ve used them for track 3k and 5k, XC 8k, as well as a few track workouts. They work great for me and the cushion is noticeably better than the pair of Victory 3 I have. I hardly notice the spike plate but the grip is good. While I haven’t tried the dragonfly, I feel like these accomplish a similar goal of making your legs much less beat up after a hard effort race. This also means they’re great for training and won’t destroy your calves.
I like them. So far I've used them for some track interval workouts and a 2km TT. They move fast enough (~45s 300s) and have enough cushion (Streak LT midsole) that I prefer working out in them compared to the Dragonfly and Victory. Great price point for a training splat.
No I haven't but I might get them in the quest for my perfect shoe. I used to love nike, I feel they're made them more narrow and shiity over the years.
I've been curious about them. Running Warehouse lists them in the road racing shoes, suggests they might be a replacement for the LTs. Are these shoes that could/should be worn training on the roads (sans spikes, of course)? Ever since Nike stopped with the LTs and the Streaks, I've been looking for a replacement.
I don't know if the spike flat is supposed to be a replacement for the Streak LT, but there is absolutely no way you can use them outside of the track (or XC I guess). They have a matumbo plate which obviously won't work on the road. On the other hand, I've had my pair for over a year and it's nice having them for training. As mentioned by another poster, they're great for getting moving with fewer side effects than you get from conventional spikes. You can easily rip sub 27 200s if you so wish. Highly recommend them.
