I have the New Balance FuelCell MD-X for the 1600m.
Is there any point in getting nike dragonfly? I would if it’s that much better than New balance.

You have the best shoe.
I didn't like the MD-X for the 1500 or the 1600. It was a great 800m spike, though.
So if you're a 1600/3200, get the Dragonfly. But if you're a 800/1600 guy who's better at the 800, stick with the MD-X.
dragonfly is built more like a road shoe. much of the allowed 25mm stack height is allocated to the rear to create traditional heel to toe drop. you can sit back and cruise by using the heel to transition
MD-X is more like a traditional spike whereby you need to actively engage the plate since the foam stack is focused mostly just behind the apex of the rocker.
air zoom victory is even more aggressive with the distally located air pod acting like a very late (90% of the shoe length) point loading rocker. power type runners will benefit most from these and they are quite polarizing especially amongst middle distance runners
so the dragonflies are worth a try only if you feel the MD-X is too aggressive and you prefer the feeling of running in road shoes like the vaporfly
From what I've heard the MD-X is on par.
Thanks for valuable insight everyone
I’m traditionally 400m from my prime days. Now I’m just doing the 1600m in my post prime adult days.
I actually thought MDX was not aggressive enough which is why I tried the brooks elmn8 but that was TOO aggressive.
So it looks like mdx is where I should be based on everyone’s comments. I’m still figuring out my personal preference for the 1600m but in general I feel I’m more of a 800m style runner (I guess bc of my background).
hey any update on your search and use?
Bump
how about against the On cloudspike 10000m?
Which would be preferable over the 1500m distance?
