 Here we go video number two publishing today on the channel the running shoes are sitting in this box and Basically like listen. I don't necessarily need this shoe, right? Like I've got a lot of running shoes But I'm reading your comments and a lot of you are interested in me reviewing the shoe for you Especially as the road racing season kicks up here pretty soon at least in the northern hemisphere And so this shoe I think is gonna have a lot of versatility for it All right, so you'll be able to use it for different purposes And so yeah YouTube comments Instagram comments Strava, so I finally decided all right I'm gonna buy it and guess what runners roost today I probably called 20 different running shoe stores trying to find this shoe like not only did like nobody even had it in Their store in any size is crazy. It's a little crazy I didn't and I didn't want to order it online. I wanted to go to a running shoe store and try it out on my own two feet So thank you runners roost for not only carrying this shoe, but for having my size It was incredible and my favorite color. It's amazing. It's a mirror. It's a minor miracle frankly All right enough talking shall we pull it out and yes if you want to make a guess guess right now before I pull It out hit pause guess below What is the shoe and do do do a do a guess and then a colon and then what shoe you think it is all right? Here you go. You got 10 seconds. Here you go eight seven six five four three two Baby what Nike is it here we go? Oh, baby the Nike zoom fly Line it that's right. Okay, and I realize I'm a little late to the game this shoe was released in September 2018 Basically, and I should mention right off the bat. It does have a carbon fiber plate through the midsole so it's got a lot of people's attention moving forward for the racing season coming up and It's a little more affordable that you a lot more affordable than the Nike vapor fly 4% flying it so if you don't want to drop 250 bucks on the Nike vapor fly 4% flying it or now the ASICs Meta ride which I will not purchase I refuse to purchase the ASICs Meta ride But basically if you don't want to drop $250 this guy is coming in at a hundred and sixty dollars right now Which I realize is a lot of money like that's a lot of money for a running shoe a hundred and sixty dollars But you might be able to kill two birds with one stone with this shoe meaning I Think and I've heard this from other runners as well. This shoe will be good for training and For racing how many times do you have to buy like you're getting ready for a big peak race? And you buy a new pair of trainers and you have to go out and you know Maybe buy a new pair of racing flats or like a shoe. That's a little lighter or a little more responsive. I Think this shoe is made for training for tempo runs lactate threshold runs Just like that good like six to ten mile tempo run and I think I will use this shoe for potentially 10k and especially half marathon races. Yes and marathons I think you could race in this shoe for a marathon absolutely There's probably maybe a few lighter options out there and we'll put this on the scale in a minute to get you We'll wait but isn't that exciting definitely a shoe that which I realize again a hundred and sixty dollars But if you only have to buy one shoe for an entire Training block or at least like the second half of a training block But obviously the big question will become the durability of this react foam The Nike react cushioning is what is through this midsole? It's a 33 millimeter stack height in the heel 23 millimeter stack height in the forefoot so a 10 millimeter drop so Nike is really like they are all in on this 10 millimeter drop business and So far I don't really have complaints about that. I know some folks don't like such a high drop In fact, I think the sweet spot is right around six. I really like the six I'm not afraid of the ten But I don't know I based on all the shoes that I've worn six seems to be the sweet spot for my Gate and my my foot strike and moving on it's that flying it upper. It's got these like zones of yarn that are sewed in a particular way to give you a little more a little more structure to the flying it because that has been a Concern with a lot of people they feel like their foot in is especially in the 4% is gonna slide right off the midsole when they're turning Corners especially in a road race, you know, if you're going at pretty high speeds So we will see I'll let you know how the upper is kind of locking my foot down Onto that midsole and again the midsole has the carbon fiber plate through the midsole So, you know, you got the 4% flying it you got the hoka carbon rocket for another Carbon fiber plate option. Well, you also have the Nike zoom fly flying it and let's let's put it on the scale Let's see how much this guy weighs. It's definitely feeling pretty good feeling pretty guy. Let's go All right, seven and a half ounces 213 grams for my size so that probably goes up a little bit So it's probably like 7.8 ounces for bigger shoe sizes So not too shabby. That's actually Pretty much on par with the hoka carbon rocket I think it's a smidge lighter just a smidge lighter than the hoka carbon rocket And I will be doing comparisons between the zoom fly and some other shoes that I own Definitely the carbon rocket most likely the 4% Probably the odd e0 audios 4 from adidas Just to put it through the paces and see like how does it stack up against some other Racers out there and again, I think 10k half marathon is the sweet spot especially that half marathon is what I'm feeling and And the marathon to a certain extent and zoom is the key word for this video zoom down in the comments Thanks for hitting it up and that question of the day who now since this shoe has been out for so long I bet there's quite a few of you out there who have at least tried this shoe on in a store What did you think or if you own the shoe? What do you think that is the question of the day? What do you think of the zoom fly flying it and if you have raced in the zoom fly flying it? Let us know the distance and how it how it treated you in a race That's gonna be like I'm really interested to see how this shoe can be versatile in 2019 for training and for racing perhaps we will figure that out for you Here on the YouTube. I think that is it. I'm just gonna admire it for a minute here Yeah, just that Nike react cushioning The full-length carbon fiber plate that flying it upper. Oh, yes smells like a new shoe All that beautiful colorway that green and again a shout out to runners roost for taking care of me Having my size and there you have it. That's right. I'm listening to you. Thank you for the idea and the encouragement You know, yeah, I'll just put it out there if you want to encourage me to look into some other shoes as well Don't hesitate to let me know down in the comments I will do my best to accommodate and make sure we stay under budget as well, right? You got to do that, too. So I'm excited though for this guy, especially once the snow melts outside So see beauty work hard and love each other. Oh, man. Gosh Get me going YouTube. You get me going. I just got to go I want to go run like right now, but it's like 9 30 p.m. So I better just zoom her down. See you tomorrow
