Thanks Mr. Briggs for reviewing these, couldn’t find a decent full review on RU-vid. a couple questions: should I do all my jumps in training in these, as well as my sprinting training for jumping? Or should I use regular sprint spikes for sprint training. Because I’m wondering if I need to get used to sprinting in them by using them in sprints
Thanks for the video 🙂 this Nike for a Mizuno lover it's nice alternative.We need more long jump vids, trainings, tips etc etc ✌️💪 Back in my teen days I used to rock spikes out of track.. heads were spinning 🤪 Keep up the good work.. These kids is everything 💪
As a collegiate Jumper who’s had experience with both the new long jump and sprints shoes, I will have to say this is a track meet shoe. I do not recommend training in these shoes because they lose some of their performance-enhancing aspects through wear and tear. I use older version shoes when training because they help with ankle stiffness and reaction. I use newer version for meet prep and the meet itself.
Personally I did not like these shoes when I used them for pole vault, I liked my Nike pv elites better but that makes sense because they aren’t meant for pole vault. They do however feel more bouncy and you do feel faster in them. I was using the Nike long jump elite proto, same shoe as in the video. I did like them for long jump though,
Do you review products mainly for young and senior athletes? If you’re to review for Vets & Master Athletes (over 35’s) - would your review pointers be different in any form?
Are they true to size? Colors look different in store but assume it’s the same shoe. Currently using the pair you compared them to and love them. Will buy these as well.
How would they be for the triple jump? I do both long and triple + a bunch of speed work in practice, so do you think these would be better or the triple jump elites? The air zoom unit is super appealing, but idk how well they'll hold up in the triple jump.
Excellent review. What is the difference between wearing Nike Air Zoom elite vs Adidas JUMPSTAR? 2 questions for you on this if you don’t mind. - the heel cup area of the shoe. Is it soft or has it got a stiff material? And does the shoe when tightened - does it cling into the ankle too tightly? - with my intermittent achilles issues. Is the sole area padded enough for the ankle, achilles & the heel area? Thanks
@@keinanbriggs This was the 2nd part of the previous question Keinan. - with my intermittent & continuous inflammation of the achilles and the surrounding tendons. Is the sole area padded enough for protection of the ankle, achilles & the heel area?
Hey just got these off the clearance sale from nike and they have that glove fit like every spike but these seem a bit narrow. I have like 3/4 an inch of extra space would this be fine? It's too late for a size exchange as it's sold out in all these sizes but just would like to know? And would it be safe to jump in 1/8 spikes?
So for a decathlete, a triple jump shoe for LJ and PV would be best? And a high jump shoe for HJ and JT? Which HJ shoe would be best to use for both HJ and JT?
Great question: this generation of shoes, long jump are great PV shoes. I’m still leaning towards having separate shoes for HJ and JT but if you are limited, Nike elite HJ would be a good shoe.
Not enough support and the sole of the shoe isn't flat enough. By the sole not being one piece is creates a break in the transition from heel to forefoot
