New Nike ZoomX 5k/10k Flat Potential Replacement for the Streak Series?

Bump

I'd love to try these and think they are coming soon, but nike just released new colorways of the streak and streak lt, so they can't be coming out that soon.

Can't wait. I love the peg turbo 2s but they could be a bit stiffer. I have no problem logging 2:3x 800s in the turbos but would love something with more rigidity.

I'm told the Pegasus is going in the direction of the Zoom Elite, and if you look at some early shots of the new Pegasus you can see that it no longer really looks to be for daily training.

It seems as if the Nike lineup is going to look something like this:

Vomero -- high cushion long distance daily trainer

Something else -- standard daily trainer

Pegasus -- lightweight trainer

Vaporfly -- marathon racer

Something else -- Streak 7 or replacement

Something else -- Streak LT or replacement

And of course the Peg Turbo.

I’ve joined the leave Nike train and replaced them in line up.

Nike Streak Lt to Saucony Type A

Nike Pegasus to Mizuno Waveknit

where would you slot or categorize the Zoom Fly?

Saw these prototypes at the Pearl Street Mile last month in Boulder. Runner wearing them didn't seem like a sponsored athlete so I guess Nike is having wear testers for them. Has anyone tried them yet? Looks similar to the ZoomX spikes being used at the World Championships ahead of the Olympics. Nike seems to have gotten rid of the Streak 7 and Streak LT4 on their website. Seems like these might be the replacement full ZoomX foam but much less than the Next% with an upper similar to the prototype spikes. Probably less than 6 oz in weight. Looks incredible!

There is a lot of potential to this shoe at 5/10k. Fairly low stack height?

Also, how does a 4:52 guy get his hands on these?

He’s in a generic Adidas singlet and shorts with maybe some club affiliation. Not part of the Bowerman outreach group, for example, where one might expect that Nike could have sub-elite wear testers...

Nike has a website you can go to where anyone can apply to be a wear tester. It's just a matter of being the right shoe size, height, weight, etc. So, if this is a wear test sample, it seems pretty typical. Not sponsored or affiliated with Nike per say, just gets a free pair of shoes to wear for a bit, then sends them back.

Ah, good to know.

(To be clear I’m not knocking the guy, I was simply baffled because the only people I knew who were prototype testers were college elite. I thought maybe he knew someone/had connects.)

I did not like the fact that the new Nike is not the most convenient for people with a flat foot. I'm interested in what they were inspired by this https://perfectshoesforyou.com/best-work-and-hiking-boots-for-flat-feet/? I clearly see the general trends from these boots. I wonder how the public reacts to this?
