Hi All - I got a pair of the Nike Zoom Fly Sub 2 shoes. I got the Nike Lab Version in white (found here) which look pretty cool and I wanted to see how they felt vs other shoes. I currently run in Hoka Clayton, Saucony Kinvara, and have run in Newton Fate in the past (among other brands). I always want to try Nike, but they are usually too narrow.
FYI if you are thinking of Zoomfly, I would go a 1/2 bigger and they are still relatively narrow. The sole is quite different than other runners, but I would say it's like Nike put a Hoka Clayton + Newton together. The "propulsion" in the forward feels more pronounced than a Hoka Rollbar and not as direct as a Newton forefoot. Pretty stiff shoe and I think it would be pretty fast up to half marathon. For "fast" runners, I'm sure a marathon could work. I'm not sure I would run in them for long runs, but maybe try some faster sessions. It also doesn't feel like a 9mm drop and I usually only wear 4mm drop.
Would love to hear if others are running in these shoes, they look great for sure.
