I picked up the Kipchoge colorway yesterday. I'm about to take on a maiden voyage! If this is truly just the start, as my pair says down the side, Nike is back!
@eddbud I just finished my first run. This shoe is awesome. Crazy versatile. Soft at slow paces and responsive when you pick it up. I hope Nike doesn't mess this up as they are back on track.
You bring up a great point about some shoe manufacturers trying something and then they seem to forget it and move on to something else. Sometimes those things they discarded were really good. One that makes me scratch my head is the angled laces which became popular for a while. Still see them from time to time, and from several manufacturers. But if it is a good idea, and effective, why not use it more often? I mean it does make some sense, as feet aren't straight, so why should the lacing system be straight? Just one example. Keep up the good work sir, and happy, healthy running to you!
Picked up the shoe yesterday and did a 10 mile PB, so definitely share your thoughts on it! Training for half marathon and feels a good long distance trainer with some tempo, enjoyed the review!
I have got enough shoes, i am not going to buy more shoes for some time.... However, I see Edd Bud is reviewing a shoe, i click!!👍 Feels good when Nike gets a positive review these days... it has fallen behind recently and that is sad because afterall Nike is the King of the jungle!!
Finally! I absolutely loved the Flyknit version and bought several pairs of them after trying (and selling) the disappointing v3. Have been eagerly waiting for each release to return to that winning formula and by the sounds of it, Nike have finally done it! I'll be adding them to my Christmas list for sure
I glad Nike has finally made a good trainer. Their race shoes are my go to but their trainers are usually meh. I will have to try this shoe. Great review!!
Glad Nike is coming back to their roots. I hope they don’t get arrogant and go back again to Zoom fly5 era (quality and price) P.S. Thank you for the video. I don’t write reply often, but always enjoy watching your review :)
I still have the original Zoom Fly SE Kipchoges. Any return to the original light and nimble design would be a huge plus. The 6 look bulky little bulky but that the times we live in.
Edd, please do a comparison with the Mach X2. These are the two daily trainers I'm most interested in at the moment, but the yet to be released colourways are what I'm after, so I'm holding off buying either until after Christmas.
I'm excited/concerned. It sounds like the the best Zoomfly since the Zoomfly Flyknit. However, the upper sounds warm and similar to the Zoomfly 3. I hated that shoe in warm conditions.
Have them in my basket, also in the raffle for the sl2 evo adidas thingy. 😬 I just don’t know! 😂1st world problems have and like the peg plus is it much better than that you think?
Umm having thought the Zoom Fly 3 and 5 were excellent as heavy bricks, held back on these but does sound promising. Can’t help thinking though just digging out one of my older Vaporflys fills the job nicely for a fast session shoe but if it is now more of a choice up against the Endorphin Speed which I tend to use more as a lightweight daily trainer than a Speed shoe per se then again could be worth considering. Presume going to come in some brighter colours. Black is good but nice to see what else there might be.
How much natural flex is there to the Flyplate they installed on the ZF V6? I'm kinda intrigued by this shoe....it's no Tempo Next%, but maybe an acceptable combo with the SB V2 to handle what the Tempo Next% currently does for me. But in order for me to consider this shoe, it can't have that harsh rigid plate that I reserve for race day ONLY!
@@EDDBUD Thanks, maybe I will roll the dice on a pair if they have a significant Black Friday discount. So if the plate is too harsh, I won't be upset that I have to limit it's use case. Was definitely hoping for a more Nylon plate flex, less traditional CF rigidity.
@@EDDBUD Yeah, but like I haven't tried it so my words mean nothing, but those shoes have either 100% peba and 80-90% peba midsoles respectively so I would assume that they would feel more lively.
But different in use. The outsole is superb. Bit more of a standard trainer feel than the Superblast. If you like plates and want a good durable model is right up there. Also available too which the sb2 isn’t
Same old ish - the competition isn’t playing anymore… far too many options only reason why the elite of the elite wear em because they on Nike bankroll - Nike cut LeBron one billion dollar check for those ugly boots FFS - point is other companies just can compete and get poster boys and girls to onboard other than Adidas perhaps. Anyhow, I thinks deep down the people know those elite Kenyan brothers secretly got dem asics on standby 😂 All gone to the dogs with Nike and that zoom x pricing - way better options for all levels and weights out there IMHO Love
