These are the best flats I've ever owned and I have yet to find a suitable replacement. I've tried the newer models and they just don't have the same feel to them. Is there anywhere I still might be able to find some?
Also welcome in this thread are suggestions for similar flats.
What size?
Size 10. Pretty common size so that probably makes things more difficult.
the newer models are the closest things in terms of feel
if you just like a lightweight shoe the asics piranha and mizuno universe are something to consider - though neither of those are anywhere near as good off road and they have more room in the toebox
my favorite shoes to train in are the brooks t series and the streak xc (newer ones), so maybe the brooks t7 will work for you
If you still have your old ones, look inside for the tag. It contains the product code and the color code. The product code is a 6 digit number followed by the 3 digit color code. Bring up Google and type in NIKE and the codes and see what pops up. It should list any stores that advertise on the internet.
Example would be for the new model 446353-084
I solely trained in the original streaks for about one year, running up to 90 miles per week When they discontinued them I was forced to find a new training shoe. I tried several shoes and found that the next best shoe for me is the Mizuno Ronin. I made a transition to the Ronin without injury, training up to 105 miles per week for the past year. I recommend that you try them on if you are not able to find the original streaks.

Just for grins and giggles I did this and clicked on the first offering. I was surprised the company had a background pics of Kara and Rupp. The photos had been altered as the bibs indicated Daegu but the logo across the top was the store acronym. Fishy, fishy...photoshop...who gets paid for that?
The original streak xc is the greatest flat ever made, hands down.
I have several pair brand new in their boxes, but they are size 9-1/2; red and white with the black swoosh, and the black and white with the gold swoosh.
Do you want to sell them? (The 9.5s)
Just checked....I have three pair of the red and whites (new).....zip me an e-mail.
Look on ebay. Sometimes they come up. Picked up a pair 2 weeks ago size 10 for 30 bucks.
