Nike Maxfly 2

My son loves these shoes, but unfortunately, one of the air cushions on the bottom of the shoe burst during his second meet of the season. And now they are sold out everywhere in every color! Ugh. He's a highly ranked runner in his state and we have 16 more meets to go with defective shoes (or changing shoes). Definitely not happy. Giving them 2 stars because they were awesome while they lasted (every race was a PB), but the durability is lacking.

My son loves these track spikes! He said they’re comfortable and lightweight, perfect for sprinting. The fit was great and they look really nice too. Shipping was fast, which made the experience even better.

I know shoes do not do the work for you. They do not run hills. They do not run repeats. They do not wake up early, push through soreness, or stay after practice. My son did that part. But I will say this: when he put on those Nike Maxfly 2s, he felt different. More confident. More ready. He looked like he believed something big was possible before the race even started. This past weekend, in just his third year of high school, he ran a 48.11 in the 400 and broke a school record that had stood for 10 years. As a parent, this is pretty incredible. He earned that moment through hard work, but those spikes absolutely made him feel fast, confident, and ready to compete. As we close out this season and get ready for the next one, I am definitely open to any Nike product suggestions that could help him keep building on this momentum.
