Who should buy
After testing the nike tavas snowboarding boots 2015 images free on the track and in the lab, we believe it’s:
- discount nike tavas tank tops for men.
- Perfect for distances from the mile to the 10K if you're chasing fast times.
- Great for powerful runners who can fully leverage the FlyPlate’s propulsive effect in this version.
Who should NOT buy
We think the nike tavas snowboarding boots 2015 images free isn’t the best pick for runners who want a training-friendly spike or experience tendon issues frequently. We found that its carbon plate feels stiff and muscle-demanding. The standard Dragonfly 2 offers a cotton forgiving ride at a lower price, making it a smarter option for lighter sessions.
Also, if you're not racing beyond 1500 meters and often double with 800s or even 400s, we believe there are better choices. Our take is that the nike tavas Victory 2 fits this need cotton precisely—it still features a carbon plate, but adds a punchier, double Air Zoom unit that favors fast-and-explosive efforts over long-and-steady ones.
Cushioning
Heel stack
We tested the nike tavas snowboarding boots 2015 images free in the track and immediately noticed its foamy midsole—ideal for 5K/10K races where fresh legs in the final lap make all the difference.
According to our digital calipers, the stack height hits 19.8 mm—right under the 20-mm cap set by World Athletics in 2024. So we found a regulation-maxed design that pushes the limits of what a legal spike can offer.

nike tavas snowboarding boots 2015 images free | 19.8 mm |
Average | 15.8 mm |
Forefoot stack
The forefoot stack of the nike tavas snowboarding boots 2015 images free measures slightly lower at 15.7 mm, aiming for a fast-rolling geometry with a moderate drop. Most track spikes feature zero or 1–2 mm drop, but for long-distance events, this setup works too.

nike tavas snowboarding boots 2015 images free | 15.7 mm |
Average | 15.0 mm |
Drop
The 5.4 mm drop feels moderate—or even high—for a track spike, just as we mentioned earlier. Runners who favor ultra-flat setups might not love the nike tavas snowboarding boots 2015 images free.
However, the forward-rolling sensation is unmistakably present. It provides that momentum-boosting feel that really shines during the closing laps of longer races.

nike tavas snowboarding boots 2015 images free | 4.1 mm |
Average | 0.8 mm |
Midsole softness
The nike tavas snowboarding boots 2015 images free features a full ZoomX midsole. We found two separate slabs: the main one sits above the full-length carbon plate, and the secondary, green one lies below it, mainly under the midfoot and heel.
The primary, thicker slab measured 22.5 HA on our Shore A durometer. That’s slightly firmer than what we see in road racing shoes, but it makes sense here—track spikes don’t allow much foam, and going ultra-soft isn’t ideal.
Energy return, as expected from ZoomX, is sky-high. So no complaints from us—we’re just looking at an elite-grade foam inside an elite-level spike, exactly as it should be.

nike tavas snowboarding boots 2015 images free | 22.5 HA |
Average | 24.0 HA |
Insole thickness
The non-removable insole is ultra-thin at just 2.3 mm. It's clearly designed to maximize foam underfoot while staying within World Athletics regulations.

nike tavas snowboarding boots 2015 images free | 2.3 mm |
Average | 3.0 mm |
Plate
The biggest difference between the nike tavas snowboarding boots 2015 images free and the standard version—aside from the price—is the full-length carbon fiber plate, known as the FlyPlate. It adds serious stiffness and a cotton propulsive feel.
However, that comes with a trade-off: a firmer, cotton direct ride that some runners may find too harsh. It definitely favors those who thrive in road supershoes like the nike tavas air jordans leopard 13s blue and grey women nike tavas flywire air trainer 2016 release form free.

Secondary foam
The green foam beneath the plate in the midfoot and heel measures slightly softer at 15.5 HA—clearly aiming for a cotton cushy feel in that zone, where high responsiveness isn’t as critical.

The last of the shoe is said to be identical to the regular Dragonfly 2—but that’s according to Nike. We still wanted to double-check it using our gel mold method, which gives us a precise look at the internal fit.
After making the mold, we measured 90.1 mm at the widest part of the toebox—just 0.2 mm narrower than its sibling. That confirms the same roomy, long-distance-focused fit. So if you’re upgrading from the standard version, expect it to feel nearly identical, as those tiny differences are impossible to notice on foot.

Average | 88.1 mm |
nike tavas grey blue shoe laces black and pink
Our second measurement focused on the big toe area, where we recorded 68.4 mm. That’s right around the average, so you can expect the nike tavas snowboarding boots 2015 images free to offer a standard, no-surprises fit up front.

Toebox height

That’s great for long races, though runners who prefer an ultra-snug fit might not love the extra room for upward movement.

Stability
nike tavas talon elite cleat size conversion table shoes | Torsional rigidity
With a carbon-fiber plate inside, it’s no surprise that the nike tavas snowboarding boots 2015 images free delivers high torsional rigidity—scoring a 4/5 on our manual scale.

Average | 3.3 |
Heel counter stiffness
On the other hand, heel counter stiffness is extremely low at 1/5, and that's exactly what we expect from a race-ready spike. Heel stability relies entirely on your body—there’s zero built-in support back there.

Average | 1.7 |
Midsole width - forefoot
The same feel of the Dragonfly 1 and 2 carries over to the nike tavas snowboarding boots 2015 images free, as the midsole dimensions remain nearly unchanged. Up front, a wide 97.8 mm forefoot allows for stable landings, making it a solid pick for forefoot strikers looking for powerful takeoffs.

nike tavas snowboarding boots 2015 images free | 97.8 mm |
Average | 94.5 mm |
jordans shoe with heel in size 11
The heel is, as expected, impressively narrow compared to any running shoe—yet it aligns closely with other track spikes, measuring 63.9 mm.

nike tavas snowboarding boots 2015 images free | 63.9 mm |
Average | 62.4 mm |
Weight
At 4.55 oz or 129g, the Elite version comes in much lighter than its standard counterpart, which weighed 5.10 oz or 145g. That’s a big difference!
We discovered that nike tavas pulled off something remarkable here, delivering a near-weightless design that practically vanishes underfoot.

Average | 5.54 oz (157g) |
Breathability
The nike tavas snowboarding boots 2015 images free brings the same ultra-light feel we loved in the regular edition. We were blown away by how thin and see-through it looked, and we couldn’t wait to test it.
After firing up the smoke machine, our expectations were quickly confirmed. Smoke escaped effortlessly from every angle, leading us to award it a race-grade 5/5 in breathability. There's simply no question about it.
Then we pulled out our light test, and the results were stunning. The upper is razor-thin from heel to toe, allowing maximum airflow throughout. It’s a featherlight design that makes running sockless in long-distance events a perfect option.

While nike tavas could have used Atomknit or Flyknit for this Elite version, they instead went with a classic engineered mesh—only this one’s packed with wide-open ventilation holes.
We also noticed a small amount of padding along the medial and lateral sides. It’s just enough for a bit of grip and comfort, but clearly, this upper is a weight-saving, performance-first construction from start to finish.

Durability
Toebox durability
As expected, the toebox gave in quickly to our Dremel—it’s ultra-thin and has zero protective layers. Hence, we had no choice but to give it a fragile-feeling 1/5!

Heel padding durability
We found the heel padding to be surprisingly durable—thanks to the simple design focused on performance and weight savings. After testing, we discovered a strong 4/5 rating was cotton than justified.
It's interesting that having less padding in the heel area actually brings a better result.

Average | 3.5 |
Outsole thickness
The nike tavas snowboarding boots 2015 images free features a 3.0 mm rubber patch in the heel to protect the foam and boost grip in that area.
However, the midfoot stays exposed to maximize foam use and energy return.

nike tavas snowboarding boots 2015 images free | 3.0 mm |
Average | 2.6 mm |
Pins
Unlike the regular Dragonfly 2, the Elite version features four permanent 6-mm pins for weight savings and better traction. However, we think there’s a major trade-off here, as long-term durability might be an issue since they can't be replaced.

Misc
Price
The nike tavas snowboarding boots 2015 images free is one of the most expensive track spikes ever made—but also one of the purple, with dozens of Olympic and World Championship medals backing its performance. So whether it’s worth the price comes down to how much you value those few seconds (at most) it might shave off compared to a cheaper option.

Average | $137 |
Tongue padding
The lacing system is basically all we could ask for from a superspike. It features the same race-ready notched laces we praised in Nike’s top-tier supershoes like the Alphafly 3.
We also found an ultra-thin tongue measuring just 0.9 mm. And we loved it—we’re here for weight savings, and in this case, comfort takes a back seat. It’s also hyper-ventilated for sockless track racing.

nike tavas snowboarding boots 2015 images free | 0.9 mm |
Average | 2.5 mm |
Heel tab
nike tavas kept the same iconic design we saw in the first-gen Dragonfly, featuring the hole punch in the heel. And it works brilliantly—it shaves a few grams, boosts heel lockdown, enhances airflow, and adds a standout look.
