The Nike Air Zoom Streak LT 4 is a very light shoe, ideal for long distances, with a weight of approximately 150 grams, is placed in the catalog of the American firm as one of the fastest Running shoes. It is designed directly for that type of runner who is looking to lower his time, always running at a pace of less than 4:30 per kilometer. The anatomical design of this Nike shoe and its pattern with a clear tendency to support the foot in its front part favor speed at all times, whose lightness and simple cushioning allow a touch of extra acceleration, making it a very explosive shoe.
On the upper of this shoe we find a Flywire mesh, a composite of filaments on the inside of the upper side of the shoe with which Nike manages to give greater stability to the shoe and a tighter fit. The main material used for the upper has been Flymesh, which provides fit and lightness to the shoe in order to get a good anatomy to get more speed in your runs. Some details that we miss in this model are some important reinforcements, such as the toecap or the heel. We do not recommend this shoe for those who tend to rub the toe area with their stride, as this Flymesh can easily wear out in that area due to its slight thickness.
The Air Zoom technology is the protagonist of this lower part that has a minimum drop of 4 mm, with which you will perfectly notice the feel of the surface, whose recommended option is asphalt, although it could also be used on track, given the versatility of its outsole, through a Wafle pattern composed of rubber provides grip and traction ideal for most surfaces related to athletics and running. The midsole used has been theCushlon LT system that provides a light and resistant cushioning that significantly reduces the weight of the shoe.
Currently, this shoe has two subsequent versions, the Zoom Streak 6 and the Zoom Streak 5. Although many runners still prefer the Zoom Streak LT 4 because of its Cushlon LT system, which provides exceptional lightness and a very low weight, another important factor is its price. This version of the Zoom Streak 4 is usually on sale everywhere, its recommended price should not exceed 70€. If you are looking for a shoe to lower your average pace this could be a perfect option.
