Running Shoes/Running Gear Shoes

I've was out of the running scene for many years and started getting in shape less than a year ago, i've only worn an old pair of running shoes that i got a couple years ago which are the nike quest 3's. I want to get to get some shoes for tempos and faster workouts but really dont want to spend $200 for super shoes. I used to wear nike streaksback in the day but cant seem to find those flats anymore. any suggestions for flats that are a bit cheaper? i like nike but im open to other options. Looking for something around $80-$100

Good luck with that. You're in for some sticker shock when you see what running shoes are selling for these days.

oh i'm well aware lol i just dont know what's good or what's bad. i've only ever trained in nike and super shoes weren't around when i was training seriously, they were just regular racing flats.

As the Saucony A9 is no longer being made and remaining inventory on it starts to wane, I went on the minimalist racing flat search. I do this every few years when they discontinue the brand/iteration I have been using. I wan...

I've done all my speedwork for the last couple years in the Pegasus 38 (mostly do trail stuff these days, so they've lasted.) Not a Nike guy but I've found them comfortable and fast. I bet with some looking you could find an older version for cheap, though a quick online search shows that even the current version isn't too bad.

Sorry, read your post too fast and didn't see you wanted flats. Feel free to ignore the above.

I have a Nike clearance store by my house so I go there. Train in peg turbos ($70-75) and workout in Tempo Next% ($95-100). Has worked well for me.

Nike outlets are packed full of Streakflys in that price range, if you have one nearby.
