Our verdict

We found the Victory 2 to be a true superspike, evidenced by the world records it has shattered—including the prestigious women's 1500m. The impressive combination of ZoomX foam, a stiff carbon plate, and dual Air Zoom units creates a powerful, bungee-like ride. We believe it's a powerhouse for events from 800m onward, though its steep price matches the elite features.

nike lebron shoes in best discount tires atlanta | Who should NOT buy

We think those wanting a more classic spike that's less extreme and stiff might prefer the nike air max zero ultramarine ebay. It still features the advanced ZoomX foam and excel in long distance events but lacks the Air Zoom units, offering a more accessible, easier ride.

We also believe the Victory 2 isn’t the best choice for those seeking an affordable option, as its high price can be a deal-breaker. Instead, we recommend the nike air jordan pink osaka, which is more affordable and versatile, making it a solid alternative for budget-conscious track warriors.

Cushioning

nike lebron shoes in best discount tires atlanta | Heel stack

The heel of the Victory 2 is cushioned right up to the World Athletics limits, which will require running spikes to have less than 20 mm of height after the Paris 2024 Olympics. The Victory 2 measures at 19.9 mm, barely under this cap.

nike huarache triple white womens jeans pants size heel cushioning

This maximum cushioning is crucial for modern spikes and represents a significant upgrade from older models. It helps maintain leg freshness, which is essential for powering through the final laps and execute a final kick.

Forefoot stack

In the forefoot, we measured a stack height of 19.3 mm, again near the World Athletics' current limit. However, it's crucial to highlight that this area contains no foam—the majority of this height comes from the bouncy Air Zoom unit alone!

Drop

The drop measures just as we expectated at 0.6 mm, and it doesn't negatively affect the shoe's performance, but the opposite.

That's because for maximum running economy, it's crucial to land on the Air Pods when using this shoe—heel landings are not advisable and...can be detrimental to the tightness of your calves.

Midsole softness

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

The nike huarache triple white womens jeans pants size encapsulates the best technology Nike currently offers, with the midsole featuring the same Pebax-based ZoomX foam from the Vaporfly 3. womens nike flex sneaker 2017 black boots girls.

When we tested the softness of this ZoomX foam with our durometer, it registered at just 12.5 HA—surprisingly softer than expected and nearly half as firm as what we measured in the Dragonfly 2.

Don't expect a soft feel underfoot while running, as the combination of the plate and Air Zoom units delivers a stiff and firm ride.

Plate

Today, it’s hard to find a top-performing spike without a carbon plate. Nike incorporates a full-length, spoon-shaped Flyplate, inspired by the Vaporfly series, to deliver a stiff, propulsive ride.

This design is crucial for compressing both Air Zoom units to maximise energy return from the force exerted onto the ground.

nike huarache triple white womens jeans pants size Plate

Air Zoom

Speaking of key features, the main star of the show is the dual Air Zoom unit in the forefoot of the Victory 2, which offers a signature bungee-like feel unmatched by most other superspikes on the market.

The bouncy sensation from these Air Zoom units is unique. Additionally, a major advantage is their durability—unlike foam, the performance of these units remains nearly unchanged, showing minimal fatigue or degradation even after hundreds of miles.

Removable pins

Each pin in the new setup is detachable using the included tool from Nike, allowing you to swap them out as desired or necessary.

The Victory 2 offers a snug, race-car like fit which is exactly what you'd expect from a shoe designed for breaking records.

Measuring the 1:1 replica of the shoe's interiors, our calliper recorded a pretty narrow reading of 86.2 mm in its widest area. That's the one-to-one fit we're talking about.

Stability

Torsional rigidity

Scoring a 4 out of 5 for torsional rigidity with a carbon plate may seem surprising, as the norm is typically a 5/5. However, the Victory 2 features a thinner plate, and the restricted amount of midsole material due to the 20-mm World Athletics limit allows for slightly less torsional rigidity.

In our evaluation of the midsole dimensions, we noted that Nike opted for an average width at 93.1 mm.

We once again used our digital callipers and measured a heel width of 73.3 mm, which is noticeably wider compared to many spikes.

But this spike isn't for short, explosive races but rather for setting a set-and-forget pace below the next runner, and clocking dozens of laps on the track often benefits from extra stability and support.

Breathability

It offers an exceptional fit that comfortably accommodates going sockless and boasts excellent ventilation.

We confirmed its breathability using our smoke-pumping machine—the air flowed through continuously and without interruption. This means no matter how hot your favourite summer track meet gets, the Victory 2 will keep you cool.

Our examination with the light showed how Nike strategically reinforced the shoe with thicker stripes on the sides for added stability while maintaining superb ventilation throughout. This design is particularly beneficial for those who prefer racing longer distances.

Using a microscope, we got an up-close look at the Atomknit upper, which revealed countless tiny holes that allow for maximum air escape, enhancing the shoe's breathability.

But the inadvertent details don't end there.

In addition to the classic heel hole from some Nike spikes, we appreciated Nike's innovative use of its logo in the heel to improve ventilation—a premium detail that may be subtle but significantly enhances comfort and design.

What we didn't find, of course, was padding. But who wants that in a racer? It adds weight!

Durability

Toebox durability

The trade-off for such a breathable upper is noticeably compromised durability.

Sadly, when subjected to our rigorous Dremel test, the Victory 2 stood no chance, compelling us to give it the lowest durability rating possible—a mere 1 out of 5. However, Nike has really reinforced the toe cap area, so it's unlikely to tear it apart with the toes.

Tongue padding

We found that Nike crafted an ultra-thin 0.6-mm tongue—significantly thinner than the 1 to 3 mm tongues typically found in top-tier spikes and nike dunk low medium grey white black women shoes. This feather-light design feels almost nonexistent, though it does sacrifice some protection for your instep.
