Nike Zoom Victory's?

Question

Hey I'm a freshman gonna be a sophmore and run the 100-400. Might run the 800 next year.

100-11.8

400-53.7

Saw the victory's. So freakin sweet. Do you think these will be good for a 400 runner or should i stick to a stiffer spike like my powercat/ja's. And are they coming out in october or july because i've heard both. Thanks.

Answer 1

the most important thing in a running shoe is fit.  If it doesn't fit right, no matter how cool it looks, it's useless.

Answer 2

No, they are meant for the 1500m - 5000m. It is not worth hurting yourself to run in a cool pair of spikes. However, Nike has developed a sprint spike using the same technology as the Victory called the Aerofly. I heard Asafa Powell is wearing these for Beijing. Try looking into those.

Answer 3

They are coming out to the public in October but they will definitely not be good for the 400m.  The creators of this shoe have said that the nike victory will be the replacement shoe of the nike miler so ultimately 800m-5000m
