The Nike Zoom Streak 6 has been around forever and represents the best and cheapest racing flat in Nike's line. It is a very light racer, with a fairly wide toe box, excellent responsiveness, and plenty of room in the toebox for toe-splay types like me.

A full-length Zoom Air unit provides soft cushioning and energy return.

The Nike Zoom Streak 6 running shoe is built around the foot's natural shape and is designed to support a runner's natural motion.

Thanks to the shoe wizards at Nike, light running shoes don’t have to leave you scrambling for traction or sloshing your way toward Copley Square when the weather doesn’t cooperate.

The Nike LunarEpic Flyknit Shield is made with a lighter, more breathable Nike Flyknit upper that adapts to the changing conditions. The shoe's mid-height collar offers a locked-down, dynamic fit for both men and women, emphasizing natural movement.
