Has anyone tried the Nike air Streak XC. They are extremely light and cheap too. They look like a great 5k road racing flat. What does everyone think of this shoe?

I've tried them, and I love them! It's the best flat (IMHO) that Nike has produced in a long time. Very light, flexible, good feel of the road. Not stiff at all. I've worn them for track workouts, tempo runs, races, and even ten mile training runs. Eastbay has them in stock for now.
Got a pair recently. I'm pretty happy with them. Unlike a lot of shoes, they really do appear to be about as light as the label says (the pair weighs about the same as one of my Mizuno wave riders). They are very minimal, I wouldn't use them for anything over 10k. They run small compared to my asics flats. I have a tiger paw in a 10, and the streak XC in a 10.5. The streak XC is smaller. And yes, the low cost is a plus. In the past, I had success with the underhyped, low cost Asics Tiger Paw, which didn't have many fancy doodads, but was a nice shoe. I have a similarly good feeling about the streak XC.
My only complaint is, why oh why do they put "XC" into the name of what is clearly a road flat ? Nikes marketting is incredibly goofy.
