Do we think there may be decent Back Friday deals this year? Someone mentioned to me elsewhere that Nike had decent deals on the 4% last year, didn't they?

I'm afraid that my Nike stockpile is running dry and I'm about to destroy my last pair of ZF Flyknit and my crimson 4%s.

That means I'm down to my last pair of 4% and next% (flyknit specials), each with about 60 miles on them, both that I want to hold on to for racing when it returns.

I do like the feel of these speedy shoes for sessions though so I'm about to splurge. I might have tried some Endorphin Pros but they are expensive / unavailable so I was considering one of:

- nike Zoom Fly 3 (£100 with nike discount)
- nike Tempo next % (£120 with nike discount)
- Hoka Rocket X (£120)

I wear Hoka for my long runs so I'm pretty used to them so perhaps leaning there for a change.

Any thoughts anyone? Am I making a mistake? Why can't they just make the 4% flyknit again :-(

I thought the Rocket X was £140? I got a pair last week and I'm really enjoying them for my faster long runs. The Tempo Next% is a good session shoe (Endorphin pros are much better if you can get a hold of a pair).

I thought the Nike discount didn't work on the Tempo Next% ? I tried yesterday.

All of the Next% shoes are excluded from the promo on my app (member25) 🤔

WW - can’t help with your dilemma but agree, bring back the 4% fly knit (with a more durable sole).

Not tried it, but the other plated shoe that is a reasonable price is adidas adizero pro (not to be confused with the similarly named and lot more expensive adizero adios pro).

Macca- I was just able to buy a pair of Tempo Next% with the code, its colour specific. The code doesn't work on the Mango coloured ones but worked on the white ones.
