![]() ![]() When I finally received the shoes, the midsole felt really squishy and soft to the touch. I hoped that it would have similar levels of bounce and energy rerun to the Vaporfly Next% 2. The super-thick midsole made it look like it was going to be much softer and more cushioned. When I first saw images of the Zoom Fly 5, I was relieved to see that it looked so different from the Zoom Fly 4. Its price also stays $160 which is great news considering nearly every other running shoe has gone up by $10 this year. The Zoom Fly 5 weighs 9.5 oz (270 g) for a men’s standard size which is a tad lighter than the Zoom Fly 4 which came in at 9.6 oz (272 g). Don’t get too excited though because it’s only a ZoomX core but it’s still a big upgrade on Nike’s middle-tier foam, React which was in the Zoom Fly 3 and 4. It now has full-length ZoomX in its midsole, Nike’s top tier super foam. This year’s Zoom Fly 5 gets a big upgrade in the midsole foam department. The Zoom Fly 5 desperately needed a big update since the Zoom Fly 4 had the same sole as the Zoom Fly 3 from 3 years ago. It has a brand new outsole, midsole and upper which have transformed it into a completely different beast. The Zoom Fly 5 shares very little in common with the Zoom Fly 4. Uptempo runs didn’t feel jarring and its bootie construction upper was perfect. It made it really easy to tap into its speed. The Zoom Fly 4 worked so well for me because the midsole geometry and the firm React foam created a seamless ride. I’ve put so many miles onto it that I’ve worn right through the outsole rubber on the lateral heel. ![]() In the past 6 months, the Zoom Fly 4 has been my go-to speed trainer and the carbon plated trainer which I’ve used the most. The Zoom Fly is designed to be the training companion of the Vaporfly Next%: a more durable, cheaper version which can be used for training runs- a fast trainer which can also be used to race in. Jump has a late 2021 scheduled release date.It was only 8 months ago that I reviewed the Zoom Fly 4 so Nike is early with the Zoom Fly 5 this year which is a nice surprise considering how many other running shoes have had their launches delayed. Run will release in summer 2021 and the Air Zoom G.T. The curved Zoom Strobel geometry, something also seen in Nike’s tennis-specific line, was designed to cater to a low-to-the ground sensation while providing a responsive feeling. The React foam drop-in stacked on the Zoom Strobel improves comfort and a sculptured carrier improves the banking ability of the wearer. Cut, the first of the batch to release, beginning in China on April 1, comes lightweight, the brand says, with a mesh upper that includes zonal reinforcement. ![]() The Jump design stacks Zoom Air with a full-length Zoom Air Strobel, a Pebax jump frame and a woven upper. The Run version add a full-length Nike React sockliner, double-stacked Zoom Air in the forefoot and a full-length Nike React midsole. Cut curves the Zoom Air Strobel to keep players low to the ground for a responsive feel. NikeĮach of the three new shoes features support for every movement that a basketball player encounters, but by creating a versatile system designers could concentrate on the three specific areas and tune the engineering of the shoe to fit. ![]() A breakdown of the underfoot construction for the new Nike Basketball NXT Greater Than series. ![]()
