The Nike Zoom Fly Flyknit is the younger brother of the famed Vaporfly 4% that Eliud Kipchoge and 2 other of the best distance runners wore at Nike’s Breaking 2 Marathon challenge.

It looks the same, has the same carbon fiber plate, and it performs extremely well.

In terms of looks, it’s simple, nice, and looks fast. It also has little designs on the laces, and the fly knit weave looks nice.

The midsole of this shoe uses Nikes React foam. The foam is very responsive and very durable.

Unlike the Zoom X or the Cushlon foam, this foam takes a lot more miles and is much more durable, so that’s the one thing I think this shoe has over the other VaporFlys or older Zoom Fly shoes.

The midsole is very cushioned and very responsive, and although there is no midfoot outsole, I don’t think I’ll see much wear and tear for a couple of hundred miles due to how the Epic React surprisingly held up after 400 miles.

Another big feature of it is the use of a carbon fiber plate. That is used to act as a spring essentially and helps the foot spring off a little bit more on the toe-off.

The ride of this shoe is very different from every other shoe I’ve run in. That is because of the carbon fiber plate.

Without the carbon fiber plate, I believe the shoe would feel like the Epic React Flyknit 2 because that’s exactly what it is, just with a plate. But the plate adds a completely different feel.

On foot walking and at slow paces, it’s stiff and unstable, but at faster paces it’s perfect and definitely makes the stride so much more efficient.

In terms of breathability, this shoe is very breathable. There's the Flyknit upper, which is basically a weave with holes and is as breathable as it looks. It’s very well-engineered and very breathable as well as light.

The responsiveness of this shoe is the top tier. It has everything needed to be responsive, a carbon fiber plate, which, as I said, is basically a spring. It also has the React cushioning, which is naturally responsive as well.

Overall, the Nike Zoom Fly Flyknit provided good cushioning for longer runs, the responsiveness for tempo and was fast enough for speed intervals. I think this would do good for any fast run, no matter the distance.
