Get your kicks: 2010 NIKE Air Zoom Stream XC 2
5.4 oz in size 9.0, a minimalistic mesh upper with few overlays and aggressive graphics. An Air Zoom unit in the heel adds protection. The outsole has a small waffle treatment that allows it to provide traction on a variety of surfaces. The Streak XC 2 is supposedly designed for California Cross Country which means a mixture of hard pack dirt, some grass and roads, but truth be told, you could run just about anything in this shoe and have success. This shoe can easily handle longer track races, 5k’s or 10k’s on the road, even half marathons and marathons for the real efficient types. The previous Nike Air Zoom Streak was one of the best selling racing shoes on the market providing a great racing shoe suitable for a wide range of events at an afforable price. The new Nike Air Zoom Streak XC 2 blows the previous version out of the water. Regardless of price, this is one of the best racing flats on the market and at $65.00 this shoe is an absolute steal. Nike set the bar very high on this shoe and at this price, there is little that can match it.
