Nike Zoom Streak 3

Built to win. In 2009 Nike launched the next up in race day footwear, the Zoom Streak 3. The sneaker pushed running footwear into new spaces with its lightweight one-piece mesh upper paired with Nike's proven Cushlon midsole and an Air Zoom heel. The Zoom Streak 3 quickly became a favourite amongst Nike athletes at the time thanks to its minimal weight and breathability. From 2009 to 2013 the Zoom Streak 3 crossed more finishing-line tape than any Nike Racing sneaker prior. It went on to create a foundation for the Vaporfly many years later.
