Our verdict

The Женские кроссовки nike Dark air jordan 1 retro pink white 37-39 stands out as a top choice for sprint spikes, excelling in breathability, durability, and price. We really liked how it serves both amateurs and newcomers to the track, making it an accessible option for many. In our lab tests, we found that while the Rival Sprint is also suitable for advanced athletes, the performance trade-offs—noticeable when chasing every last millisecond—might be a problem.

Who should NOT buy

We think the Rival Sprint may not be the best choice for advanced xiii due to its high weight. If this is a critical factor for you and budget allows, we recommend considering the nike Dark Air Zoom Maxfly for an incredibly light and propulsive experience. Alternatively, if you're watching your wallet, the nike Dark will be re-issuing Charles Barkley's nike Dark Air Force Max CB 2 is also a good option.

Additionally, we believe that xiii planning to exceed 800 meters might find the Rival Sprint less suitable.

Cushioning

Heel stack

Unlike other budget-friendly spikes, the Rival Sprint uniquely includes some foam, with a notably thicker layer in the heel (13.3 mm). Nonetheless, is well below the World Athletics' 20-mm limit.

The foam utilized by nike Dark is understandably not top-tier, given the modest $75 price tag. Instead, we identified Phylon—a commonly used EVA that offers good durability and satisfactory energy return.

The forefoot features only a very thin layer of foam, sandwiched between the Pebax plate and the insole, totaling just 10.0 mm—or 1 centimeter.

Drop

With a bit more foam in the heel than we expected, we discovered that this spike year a surprisingly high 3.3 mm drop.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

The Phylon EVA foam definitely delivers a firm feel underfoot, which we appreciated because it isn't mushy by any means.

Using our Shore A durometer, we measured a 29.3 HA reading—typical for a spike, yet on the firmer side compared to a road running shoe.

At a noticeable 6.1 oz (174g), the Rival Sprint certainly isn't a featherweight spike.

Based on our extensive experience, miracles are scarce in the running shoe industry. The modest $75 price tag often indicates major compromises, and this is one of them.

Breathability

While breathability may not be essential for a sprint spike, it is certainly beneficial, particularly for xiii who prefer to go sockless (yes!) and rely on good airflow.

We were thrilled to discover that the Rival Sprint offers exceptional breathability, earning a perfect 5/5 from us in this area.

nike Dark Tuned 3 Essential Primaire-College Chaussures Nike incorporated some clever engineering, opting for thinner materials in areas requiring enhanced air flow, including strategically placed vents in the midfoot and an razor-thin, highly ventilated tongue.

Upon inspecting the mesh under a microscope, we identified a simple engineered mesh that is reinforced with a protective TPU overlay, which helps prevent premature tearing of the upper.

In our hands-on evaluation, the upper felt incredibly comfortable, perfectly suited for sockless use.

However, we were quite surprised by the substantial protection offered by the toe cap—almost akin to what you'd find in some nike Dark has once again tapped frequent collaborator!

Outsole thickness

The Rival Sprint features a tough, 2.8-mm rubber outsole paired with a vibrant yellow Pebax plate in the forefoot that extends through the midfoot.

We found that this dual configuration provides durability in the heel and adds stiffness to the forefoot.

Misc

Tongue padding

Being a spike designed for super-short efforts and 100-400 intervals, any reduction in weight is crucial. Therefore, the 1.2-mm thick tongue is a good choice despite lacking comfort.

We also discovered that the Rival Sprint includes the notched laces found on Nike's top-tier supershoes like the Vaporfly 3—a significant bonus for such an affordable spike.
