I really enjoyed the video! Thank you for sharing. As a former NCAA D1 Sprinter and Nike product tester, I have thoughts to share: 1. First and foremost, I think it's interesting that you have a rotation at all! In general, we'd get a new pair or two at the top of season, and that would be our sole pair for that season and it seemed like most other schools (save maybe UofOregon) were the same, though most of us would use the prior season's pair for longer workouts to save the new pair. 2. The Victory spike is very much tuned for the 800m and up, but if you like it on the 400, I think that's cool - just less aggressive than some other options. I haven't heard of anyone in college using it for that distance! I haven't even tried the new Victory with the Zoom Air bag, so for all I know it does fell aggressive now. I'm an old head. In my day, the Superfly was so much more stiff, and most of us preferred that for the 400 (even though it would rip your legs up! Long ice bath for sure after those days). 3. I'm 100% aligned with your old-self re: Adi spikes vs. Nike spikes. Adidas often lacks in materials and weight reduction compared with what The Swoosh can provide, though it's hard to argue with an athlete like Lyles (though I said the same thing about Bolt and Puma spikes...now those things were jank). I tested spikes on their way to Coleman because we had a similar foot, and though it took a while to get used to I still find the Maxfly offers something special. That being said, the airbag needs to have so much pressure to not sink into the ground and cost you energy return, and I don't feel like it lasts as long as it needs to. The adidas spikes, with a more simple, stiff design, certainly last longer. Nothing felt like the Viperfly, but obviously those were banned.
I love the sp2 and will definitely be going for the sp3 when it comes out June 1st. It is slightly heavier but the upper is SO MUCH BETTER. The sp2s upper is fragile as you showed, the new strung upper that’s also used on the prime x strung is so comfortable and molds to your foot, and is far more durable.
It would be seriously awesome if On Running makes a sprint spike, their cloudspike 10k is an insane shoe so they could definitely make something incredible for sprints
How does the sizing compare between the SP2s and then your Nike spikes? I never could get comfortable with the MaxFlys, so I still race in the Nike Ja Fly 4.
Do you think superfly elite 2s would work for 300 hurdles. Never had sprint spikes, ive worn spikes like the dragonflys and run decent times but thoses are coming apart and want spikes more fit to my events. 110h, 300/400h and 400.
I personally would say no, the superfly elite two are more of an aggressive sprint spike, I would say Maxflys or sp2, or even the new adidas finesse which are cheaper and good for turn running + energy return and cushion.
I feel like victories are way too soft for the 400mh for me. I only use them in practice and for 800m races. I race my 400m hurdles in maxflies and they feel amazing.

this video was goated, I ain't gon lie
Awesome vid, thanks for giving me the tiebreaker on what spikes to get :D
@@MerranRomp BAM‼️

Intresting I’ll definitely look into them more ‼️
Hello bro what is your feeling i want to buy sp2 or sp3 and i don't know which one is better im running 110m which one is better for you?
@@niezapo-qw6yj sp2 is slightly lighter but sp3 is more comfortable/durable. Everything else is exactly the same
@@noanimal thanks
Goated vid
Thank you for dropping this video! i can not find that many videos that talks about specific track spikes
Always‼️
I'm literally trying to decide wether to buy the sp2's or the maxfly's gotta see about that
@@tomas27fwell I’ve worn both. One is definitely much easier to get your hands on but one guaranteed last longer. Imma fan of the sp2 no question.
@@tomas27f The new maxfly technology is apparently insane but i have never worn any of these two shoes so i can not really say anything
Finna subscribe
My rotation: victory 2 for 800/1600 cloudspike citius for 3200m/5k cloudspike amplius for 10k
@@aSkibidRunner you like the cloud foam?
@@kidzoomprod2892 not the cloud tech it garbage but the racers have Helion which is Pebax (very similar to Zoomx and fuel cell)
It would be seriously awesome if On Running makes a sprint spike, their cloudspike 10k is an insane shoe so they could definitely make something incredible for sprints
That’s what I’m sayin I love there foam tech they have
On has a sprint spike coming out soon, it’s called the cloud spike sprint
@noanimal I had forgotten about that, and there will be new distance spikes too. They're gonna be awesome!

imma 10 in Nike and a 10 in adidas sand size pretty much.

what is toe drag tape? i've recently started toe dragging need something to stop the front deteriorating.
It's mainly just AT tape like the clothe tape. I would suggest getting a roll and replacing the tape as needed, and put a couple layers too.
Have you tried the new adidas finesse spikes? Or no
@@slipperys0ap817 no but I heard they are just cheap versions of sp2. Way less stiff more for curve running.
I feel like victories are way too soft for the 400mh for me. I only use them in practice and for 800m races. I race my 400m hurdles in maxflies and they feel amazing.
I run strictly on my toes, and I’m a light runner, there not to soft at all and feel like regular Maxflys for me.
What about the maxflys 2👀
ion man I’m debating on trying them. It’s a rly hard choice.
