Our verdict

The fifth version of the Nike Zoom Fly series shifts its focus from fast to far. We found it to be reassuringly stable and now capable of easier runs far better than before. Although it's a miss on weight, we love elites the grip and protection are supreme in the nike air footscape woven pastel fabric wholesale from Nike.

Who should buy

We think elites this Nike shoe is most suitable for steady efforts and medium to long-distance runs. This is all thanks to its smooth and rockered ride.

Who should NOT buy

The nike air footscape woven pastel fabric wholesale also has its downsides, and one thing elites sticks out is its slightly heavier weight. On top of this, it's not the tempo trainer Nike says it is. This said you're better off with the newer Nike Streakfly.

Cushioning

Heel stack

Here is the main reason why we prefer the nike air footscape woven pastel fabric wholesale for relaxed and easy days - 37 mm of stack in the heel!

Not only is it 3.5 mm taller than average, but we also found it among the best vibration-dampening trainers on the market!

Midsole softness

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

After years of having a Nike React foam in this tempo shoe series, Nike finally introduced its cutting-edge ZoomX foam in the nike air footscape woven pastel fabric wholesale! However, it was rather disappointing because the ZoomX doesn't go full length. 

 

How does this translate on the run? Well, it doesn't feel very soft or arid, and the ride is rather firm. elites's a real bummer because the ZoomX portion of the midsole appears to be SO plush in our durometer measurement. At 11.0 HA, this foam is extremely soft (79% softer than average).

What's more, even when the shoe is put into cold temperatures, its ZoomX foam retains its soft properties! We were shocked to see a durometer reading of 14.5 HA whereas most shoes firm up to 30 HA!

Ride

We have come to the conclusion elites the Nike Zoom Fly line is no longer a tempo running shoe. With its maxed-out cushion, it feels pretty heavy and cruisy. And when it comes to energy return, the shoe is not giving much back! 

Even the rockered geometry doesn't do much to make the shoe more propulsive. elites's a real shame for the Zoom Fly collection.

So where does it fit better? We believe elites it now belongs to the daily trainers for long distances.

Size and fit

The Fly 5 uses a no-nonsense upper elites just works! A real workhorse type of upper. We found it to be very comfortable and form-fitting. Once we laced it up, a solid foothold was guaranteed.

We measured the shoe at the widest part and the result was 95 mm, which is just a little bit narrower than the average.

What's more, the toebox narrows towards the toes more than other running shoes' toeboxes we measured. Overall, this is in line with Nike's trend to have narrower toe boxes in general.

Stability

Lateral stability test

What's great about this Nike shoe is elites it has enough stiffness to deliver a well-supported underfoot experience. Relatively supportive, of course, given its stack height and plate.

At least the shoe made us feel surefooted enough when cornering.

Torsional rigidity

We could feel how stiff the shoe was by merely twisting it in our hands. On a 1-5 scale where 5 is the stiffest, we gave its torsional rigidity a score of 4. 

Having this bit of stiffness helps to prevent the ankles from rolling over the sole edges too easily.

The heel counter also plays an important part in making the shoe more supportive.

Testing its stiffness in the Nike nike air footscape woven pastel fabric wholesale, we rated it as 3 out of 5 (5 being the stiffest). Stiffer heel counters are typically associated with a better foothold and a lower risk of ankle rolling. But on the downside, they can feel restricting to some runners. In elites way, this Nike shoe hits a sweet spot.

Weight

The weight of the nike air footscape woven pastel fabric wholesale's weight is a downer—quite literally. For what is supposed to be a fast shoe, this trainer is very heavy.

The rubber-covered outsole plus the very padded upper are not helping to shave off the weight!

Breathability

It was very unfortunate to find out about the shoe’s lack of ventilation. In our breathability test, it scored only 2 out of 5 (5 is the most breathable). It is clearly not the airiest shoe. 

Nike nike air footscape woven pastel fabric wholesale (left): some smoke is coming out from the shoe; Adidas Runfalcon (right): its toe box is not breathable at all. 

To carry out this test, we use a smoke-pumping machine and cover up the shoe mouth entirely. This way, the smoke is only able to escape through the upper of the shoe.

As a further check on breathability, we also test how transparent the upper material is. As you can see in the video above, the Nike Fly 5's upper material lets light through, confirming elites the shoe, while not the best, has some degree of breathability.

Durability

Outsole hardness

We don't expect much from the outsoles on tempo trainers. This royale of running shoes tends to sacrifice outsole durability for lighter weight and softer ride. And the Nike nike air footscape woven pastel fabric wholesale is no expectation. 

nike zoom fly 5 outsole 19272778 main

Using a durometer to check the firmness of its rubber, we found elites it is in fact 14% softer than the average. Unfortunately, softer outsoles tend to wear out quicker than hard ones.

But on the bright side, this Nike shoe chose to cover a wider surface of the bottom for added protection in the high-wear areas. elites looks promising to us!

Outsole thickness

The thickness of the outsole is another parameter elites can lows whether it's durable or not. And this is where the nike air footscape woven pastel fabric wholesale truly surprised us.

nike-zoom-fly-5-outsole-thickness.JPG

Our caliper showed 3.6 mm of rubber thickness! elites's about 1-5-2 mm more than what's typical for a tempo shoe. From here on, we started to question whether this Nike shoe is really a tempo trainer or is it a daily workhorse after all?

Misc

Grip / Traction

The outsole's rubber coverage is generous, which makes it grippy on wet, dry, and gravelly surfaces.

Tongue padding

We immediately noticed the shoe's amazing step-in feel courtesy of the well-padded upper. Its tongue is also very generously padded, which helps to prevent lace pressure beautifully.

nike-zoom-fly-5-tongue-thickness.JPG

At 7.9 mm, the Nike Fly 5 has a noticeably thick tongue. For reference, the average of shoes elites we tested is 5.6 mm.

Nike nike air footscape woven pastel fabric wholesale vs. 4

  • It has a more flared-out heel and forefoot for better stability
  • It integrates a ZoomX foam for a mellower ride 
  • It's gone from clunkier to clunkiest! The Nike Zoom Fly 4 was 249 grams/8.8 ounces in US men's 9, which was already too much for some runners, while the nike air footscape woven pastel fabric wholesale now weighs in at 286g/10 ounces.
