![]() ![]() ![]() There are plenty of quality racing options on the market and Nike makes another one that is very highly lauded. ![]() It is a slightly better version of the previous Streak. Generally speaking, when good running shoes are updated, one can only hope that the updates are minor and hit the problem areas of the previous model. The update to the new Streak 7 improves slightly on the upper, but in my opinion not enough to bring the Streak 7 as a must buy over the Flyknit version of this racer. The Zoom Streak 6 was a good lightweight road racing shoe with some issues in the upper of the shoe.īecause of the upper limitations with an incredible under foot feeling, the Flyknit Streak made a much more worthy purchase and feeling racing shoe. This can cause the shoe to come untied.Paired with the fact that the laces are a little long, double knotting becomes necessary with the Zoom Streak 7. One negative of the lacing system is that the laces are more susceptible to move if not fully tightened and over the course of a run they can loosen. The tongue is connected in the same way as the previous model, is short and does not move whilst running. The visual swoosh logo is oddly cut off, similar to how the Flyknit Zoom Fly appears. Otherwise the Streak 7 upper is made up of the same Flymesh, which isn’t incredibly durable, and lacing system. Once this is done there are no issues with the straps tangling during the run. I could immediately feel when it was twisted and was able to quickly fix the twisted strap however it is important when wearing the Streak 7, especially for a race, to give yourself a short warm up run to ensure the fit is right for your run. More than once my foot twisted a strap causing irritation in the midfoot. One caveat to the individual strap design comes from putting the Streak 7 on when untied and loosened up. These loops make up the lacing system for the upper of the Streak 7 and allows for a very tight locked down feeling which is easily adjusted to the runner’s foot. While the previous version of the Streak had a large piece of fabric with perforated holes for breathability the new mid foot wrap consists of straps that are each individually attached to loops. The big change here in the Streak 7 from the previous version is the mid foot wrap. ![]()
