Just to throw another shoe into the mix, I have bought a pair of Vapor Street Flyknit and done a range of runs (everything except racing) and would be keen to have another pair for training

I picked up a pair of ZF3 cheap too, yet to try but I have mashed up two pairs of ZF2 now and while I like the feel of them they don’t last long enough for me, I wear the soles through to the carbon plate way too fast

I didn't think the vapor street were running shoes. they are supposed to be "street"shoes hence the name

That's what I thought, then I stumbled on some in a Nike shop and decided to give them a spin.

Nike site describes them as a "lifestyle shoe" - if I like how a shoe feels and I can run in them then I will. For the amount of cushioning they have, plus a very decent tread which suits my running style, it seems daft to just be walking about in them. They are definitely light enough for training in.

An interesting piece about the morality of wearing Nike: fastrunning.com

However an interesting take-home near the end: "Right now if you’re not wearing these shoes and you’re not sponsored by someone else, then you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage."

Lol

I'm happy with the 4% and given the things I accept in the rest of my life I have no issues by Nike
