what is(are) the best Nike Racing Flat?
Triax TC 2, alas they don't make them anymore
It would be easy to turn this into a nostalgia thread but lets try to stick to shoes you can still buy.
Well, it would depend on the distance, I guess. But, if I had to pick one, it would be the Air Streak Vapor IV. I've seen it used from the 5th Avenue Mile up to the marathon. A very light, comfortable shoe. But in my experience, they run about .5 size longer than other Nike racers, so order them small if you can't try them on.
I have a new pair of TC's in a 10.5 and a worn only once size 10 original TC. I take them out and look at them sometimes when I think about making a comeback.

Spiridon Gold
Sock Racer
Air Sock
Mariah!
They really do NOT make them like that anymore
Terra TC , Eagle, Air Edge, American Eagle, Duellist, Air Mariaaaah
Does anyone know where to get the Spectrum Plus's w/ the flames?
i know many don't like them, but i love the mayflys, they are perfect for a 5k or 10k, no cushioning, no support, just plain speed. the streak XCs and the katanas are nice shoes, but my vote goes to the mayflys
NIKE BOSTON BUT THEY HAVEN'T MADE THAT ONE IN DECADES....HELP ME, SEND ME AN OLD PAIR!!!
Nike Streak Vengence......they are brights yellow and light as crap! I got them in 1998
Mayfly is definitely a kicker - three pairs and now they're defunct. All the bad press about Nike, but I keep coming back to their flats. They just fit me well. I just discovered the also defunct Vapor IV. Hopefully they'll keep the Streak XC in the line-up and hopefully they'll come up w/ something to challenge Adidas' upcoming 4 oz flat.
American Eagle. White base, blue heel and toe area, red swoosh. I believe Salazar wore the model for his 2:08:13 NY.
Wasnt it the Adidas Boston?
The Kantana without question. These things are the bomb I tell ya. Best racing shoe I've ever had on my foot.
Ekiden (*sniff*)
Agreed. I have the kantana racer. Sweet racing flat. It's like 5 oz or something.
The Elite Classic .... absolutely the best racing shoe I ever wore ... bring it back please, I swear I'll break 20:00 for 5k!
Nike Eagles!
Elite Classic: My first real flat. I remember, when I first put it on in the shop, I thought that it felt too good - like a sock. So flexible. Perfect forefoot. What was it, like $35? The duellist ranks up there, too.
