I know they have been off the market for a while, but up until now I have always been able to get them off eBay in my size. Desperately need something similar as these are the only shoes I've tried that don't really bother my joints for daily training. Has anyone been able to find a suitable replacement in this carbon-plated, maximalist shoe era we find ourselves in?
Wasn't there another thread with this topic and a few more posts?
I'm in the same boat - I have like a year, if that, of streak lt 4s left (they wear out fast) and one pair of streak lt 1's (they will prob fall apart in a month when I start using them because they are so old even though unworn).
The mizuno wave cruise is like 18/14 stack/drop. Similar weight to streak lt.
Mizuno duel sonic 3 is 21/17 and 6.7 oz I think. It fits much looser than the streak lt though. You have to buy from japanese sellers on ebay.
Saucony sinister is 25/20 and has weird lacing, but they work ok for me. At least if I don't run in them every day. I hear they are discontinued, but a few retailers still have some sizes if you go through a few pages of search results.
Descente made some shoes with around 20 mm stack height.
Fila KR6 might work. You can buy them from a Brazillian seller in any size but US10.5 (my size of course).
Some people wear xc flats (spikeless xc racers) - but those are too minimal for me.
None of these are great solutions or long term solutions - though if duel sonic 3 works for you, that shoe is at least still being made.
Its super frustrating that no shoe is filling this gap in the western market, but there seem to be very few who are in the gap.
Maybe someone can chime in with more ideas? Any prototypes in the pipeline with a low stack and a tight fit?
I just got 2 more pairs off ebay! Some people list them under women's sizes because they don't know what they have. Thats another 3-4 months (or 2 if I'm running a lot and don't want to wear them until the upper blows out and the sole is bald lol) of training in streak lts.
I don't know what I will do when I'm out of streak lts. I've thought about switching to cycling or something. I keep hoping that the era of maximalism in running shoes will end but that doesn't seem to be in sight.
ps: op check poshmark too
mercari and depop are worth checking every few weeks too
Bruh, I've never ran in the model you asked about but I've been using the Nike Zoom Fly 5 for a every day trainer the last couple years and they make a old man feel young. Just picked up a brand new pair on eBay for $100.00.

Not helpful. Zoom fly 5 is a very different shoe. I'm glad they work for you, but I think they'd be about the last pair I'd try.
