The UltraFly trail is certainly one of the fastest on the market but it's limited use, focus, and high price tag will make it a hard sell for most runners.
Super trail racing shoes aren't an entirely new thing as Saucony, The North Face, and Hoka have had models out for some time but the company known for its super racers has been has been no where to be found until now. The Nike UltraFly trail is the company's first entry in to the Ultramarathon trail super shoe category. It features a full Zoom X midsole but unlike its road racers is wrapped in a tight outer fabric that helps to stabilize and protect it. A full Carbon fiber FlyPlate sits inside for propulsion and protection. Perhaps the most welcomed change is the addition of a Vibram MegaGrip outsole that aims to provide consistent dependable traction. This is a huge step forward for Nike as they for years have refused to use anything but their in-house rubber which anyone who has ever owned a Nike trail runner can likely attest to pretty much sucking in the outsole department. The biggest question is how will all of this translate onto the trails? Let's dive in and find out.
