Nike Maxfly 2

Great, runs small for wide feet

My favorite spike so far out of the three models I've experienced. The fit is good, but not good for wide footed people. It is highly responsive and sends a lot of energy return, you will feel like you're flying. If you're new to sprinting, definitely go with rivals or a stiff plate spike before going with these. I also recommend using maxflys for high intensity workouts, blocks and saving them for race days.

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.
