Nike 💯✅️
Comment your favourite spike and what video you want to see next!
I have only tried Nike,should I explore?
Dragonfly
LeTtTtTtTtSsSsSsSsSsSsSs GoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo!!! I personally love the Brooks wire 8, they are in my opinion, a much lighter dragonfly, and I love it. The only downside is the non-removable spikes, but besides this they are great! The new Saucony spikes look very interesting, as they seem to be the lightest spikes on the market right now, but I'm not sure if I would shell out the $150 USD for em just yet.
What about dragonfly Xc edition
Do you think the cloudspike is better than the dragonfly for the steeple? My main concern is the upper, looks a bit thicker
How about air zoom victorys
Hi there. I have just come across your channel and just subscribed. My son and me, but mostly him , is really into running. He is 12 and his pe/games teacher thinks he has potential and has suggested long distance cross country and steeplechase. What shoes would you recommend and can you wear shoes for both events. And does them getting wet ruin them?
The on cloudspike's ousole it's not made with carbon but with glass fiber and nylon. This mustn't change any opinion, but it must be said👍
Have you tried the dragonfly xc?
LETS GO ALFIES BACK
Maxfly for 800m are best because of their aggressiveness . Would like to see you review saucony endorphin cheetah.
It’s good that I’m a slow runner without sponsor and i can choose any shoes lol
Just a heads up. The On cloud spike has a nylon/fibre glass plate rather than a carbon plate mentioned in the video
u made up my mind! Thank you!!!
I get a bit of heel slip in the LDx so I’d have to take off points for that. Otherwise the big carbon plate feels great. The MDx fits great and is still my favorite spike, albeit just up to the mile due to its aggressiveness
Have you tried the Saucony Terminal VT? Seems somewhat similar specs to Dragonfly from what I’ve seen, plus quite cost effective. Could be a good spike. Also the new Hoka Cielo LD2
I did see that the On spike (either one) is available to buy now in all sizes and seemingly at a somewhat "better" price point than their carbon racer offering. When you talk of which ones are "better", "faster" is this just based on feel or have you got some quantitive stats from races or sessions to back up your rankings as it were?
New Balance MD-X would also be a great option for an aggressive 800/1500m spike
what haircut do u have?
What’s dragonflies best distance? And cloud-spikes best? If you wanna alternate them for multiple events
As said on Instagram I broke 3 pairs of Dragonfly's in the span of 4 weeks, all the same problem where the plate tore/bent so I'm never getting those again. Switched to the Adizero Ambition (the avanti tyo isn't snappy so you have to work quite hard, Nike Victory is too instable when fatigued) and as a forefootstriker they work really well for me.
The on spike doesnt have a carbon plate!! Please inform you better.
I’m digging the ASICS Metaspeed LD. Really keen on the new balance spikes though 👀
Have you tried or heard anything about the puma distance nitro elite spike or the longer distance one?
Do the On spikes fit true to size? @Trackstaa
Bro you look like your testosterone levels have dropped
How much faster in a 10k would I be with the on spike than the dragonfly if you had to guess
What are your thoughts on wayde van niekerk wearing the avantis for the 400 at the diamond league?
Which should i buy for 1500m-3000m
