The price of this spike is great at $110. In terms of looks, it has a simplistic design yet still looks fast and sleek. The only problem I worry about with the upper is the tongue has thinner sections that seem to be able to tear easily.Ī slight downside is that the spike upper is not the most breathable but is not overly warm either. I found the upper to be very comfortable and to fit just right while providing good overall lockdown. One detail I enjoyed is that the spike has a more reinforced toe which provides extra durability for block starts. It features an ultrathin design with a lightweight spike plate so you can fly past the competition. This spike utilizes a Flyweave upper that provides good durability and a lightweight fit. The Nike Zoom 400 is designed for sprinting events. This spike utilizes 7 removable stainless-steel pins to grip the track and ensure no slipping. It was designed to be stiff enough to provide the right amount of power and forward propulsion for the 400m, which means it's not as stiff as say a 100m-200m spike, such as the Nike Ja Fly 3 or the Nike Superfly Elite 2, but still provides enough power and aggressiveness to be able to sprint the shorter distances.īeing that the spike plate is a little more forgiving, it worked amazing for the 800m race, providing great power throughout the race, especially the last 300m when you’re starting your kick.

The Nike Zoom Freak 4 Unbelievable is set to drop later this year via and at select retailers. ( clarification: stiffness of the plate is based on the size of the holes in the spike pattern the larger the holes the more the flexibility). Zoom is featured and seen in the forefoot with a detached outsole in Barely Volt and ice blue finishes off the sneaker. The plate of this spike is a full-length Pebax Spike Plate that utilizes a honeycomb pattern.

Zoom 400 is snappy and a little forgiving I found it to be comfortable just up to 800m distances while not feeling too soft, just absorbing more of an impact in the 400-800m distances but still keeping a low to the ground profile. The midsole of this spike consists of a thin layer of a phylon foam slab. We check over 450 stores daily and we last saw this product for 66 at Eastbay. For 400m to 800m (nothing more than 800m), these spikes were just cushioned enough to still be comfortable for a longer sprint, as well as being snappy enough to go fast, but not too stiff to hurt the feet.For under 400m I had found it to be snappy and provide good amounts of power to go your fastest for 100-200m, while still being comfortable.I really enjoyed the way this spike felt for what I’ve used it for.

2 x 50m, 3 x 100m, 2 x 200m hard sprint effort.

You want a dedicated <400m shoe, in this case, look at the Zoom Superfly Elite 2 or Rival S 9.

You prefer distances longer than 800m ( Nike Spike Flat is worth checking out then), or.

If you’re a sprinter who wants a fast spike with some extra cushion or a sprinter who runs the longer-based events such as the 400-800m, then these spikes will be the ones for you.
