Nike LeBron 17 Low Toon Squad | Nike Tech Fleece woven trackies in midnight navy logo
The Air Zoom Victory is Nike's elite, innovative middle distance track spike, relying heavily on the technologies of Nike’s marathon racer, the Alphafly Next%. It was engineered with distances of 800m - 5000m in mind. Overall, I found the spike to do well for racing, but it was a much different feeling than I have ever had for a track spike.
It was a very unique ride and gave a springy feeling that allows you to run your fastest for middle-distance races. The only real downside was that the underfoot feeling could take time to get used to as well as it is costly at $180. That being said I say you try it and if you love it, then it's worth it!

Do not buy this shoe if you're looking for a spike that is:
- meant for short sprinting events (60m-400m), try the Nike Maxfly or nike sb shane shoe solection lawsuit instead
- Nike Dunk Low "Solstice" Nike Dragonfly

The fit of this spike is true to size in terms of width but does run on the longer side. Overall, it was a comfortable sock-like fit, with no issues.
A lockdown you’ll surely love
I have never encountered any heel slipping. My midfoot was as secure as it can be!
The notched laces do not become undone. At 1600m race pace (4:25/ mile) the lockdown was still very secure.
Unique and springy ride in the Air Zoom Victory
Now, the ride of this spike was where this spike is either loved or hated. It has a cushioned heel but once you get to the forefoot it has a very distinct and unique feel. The forefoot has a springy, bubbly feeling that happens in two phases that you can distinctly feel underfoot.
The first is a compression phase, which is due to the Air Zoom Unit compressing, which then leads to the second phase of spring off from the carbon-fiber plate (Nike’s “Flyplate”). It is truly a weird feeling that takes time to get used to, and it is sort of a feeling of you either like it or don’t.
I would say one downside to this configuration is that there is some instability on the curves that will take some time to get used to. However, I personally liked it, especially for 800m-1600m races as I enjoyed the unique compression and springy feeling.

The Zoom Victory really shines in the mid-distance races, more specifically 800-3k distances. Some runners also use it for longer distances such as 5k or even 10k (10k is very rare), but I would definitely prefer the Nike Dragonfly’s or Adidas Avanti if I would be racing those distances.
The Air Zoom Victory is a good blend of aggressiveness and cushioning though I would lean more on the aggressive side, especially in the forefoot area. Overall, the spike performed best in those middle-distance races.
Featherlight weight (one of the lightest on the market)
The Nike Tech Fleece woven trackies in midnight navy is pretty featherlight at 4.6oz/130g, which is on the lighter end of track spikes in the market (spike shoes weigh 6.2oz/175g on average). That is highly due to the extremely lightweight upper and very lightweight ZoomX foam.
Highly engineered spike plate for better traction
This spike's plate is Nike’s ShockWave Generated Outsole Plate which is made for smooth transitions as well as extra traction. It also utilizes 6 spike pins in the forefoot to ensure optimal traction during your race. On the perimeter of the heel, there is sharkskin, which helps with traction as well as durability in the heel.

In terms of an adaptation period, there are two main points I could bring up that people would need to adapt to:
- Nike All Day Filles Chaussure
- women nike air zoom spiridon cg 2 sneakers sku78189333 authentic
Unrivaled breathability
The breathability of this spike is superior to every other track spike on the market and utilizes the most breathable upper I've ever had in a shoe. That is thanks to the Atomknit upper, which is a stretched and steamed fabric.

The price of this spike is $180 which, depending on your personal preferences, could be the deciding factor of whether you buy this shoe or not. For comparison, most DeMar DeRozan Nike Kobe AD have an average price of $100.
Personally, I really liked the spike and would pay $180 for it but as of now, I think the better option would be the Nike Dragonfly. It is much more versatile in terms of distances that can be covered and it’s at a $30 cheaper price point of $150, as well as $180 is not cheap at all.
Now, if you happen to have $180 you're stitch dying to spend then sure, buy the spikes and enjoy them!
