It now has full-length ZoomX in its midsole, Nike’s top tier super foam. This year’s Zoom Fly 5 gets a big upgrade in the midsole foam department. The Zoom Fly 5 desperately needed a big update since the Zoom Fly 4 had the same sole as the Zoom Fly 3 from 3 years ago. It has a brand new outsole, midsole and upper which have transformed it into a completely different beast.
The Zoom Fly 5 shares very little in common with the Zoom Fly 4. Uptempo runs didn’t feel jarring and its bootie construction upper was perfect.
It made it really easy to tap into its speed. The Zoom Fly 4 worked so well for me because the midsole geometry and the firm React foam created a seamless ride. I’ve put so many miles onto it that I’ve worn right through the outsole rubber on the lateral heel. In the past 6 months, the Zoom Fly 4 has been my go-to speed trainer and the carbon plated trainer which I’ve used the most. The Zoom Fly is designed to be the training companion of the Vaporfly Next%: a more durable, cheaper version which can be used for training runs- a fast trainer which can also be used to race in. It was only 8 months ago that I reviewed the Zoom Fly 4 so Nike is early with the Zoom Fly 5 this year which is a nice surprise considering how many other running shoes have had their launches delayed.
