I've run lots in the vaporfly 3 but never in the streakfly.
How does the cushion and grip compare?
Racing road 5k and 10k.
Why not just use the v2, v3 is weird when pushing off as you go fast, the rocker feels ridiculous, it start rolling as soon as you hit the ground and bounce you upwards.
Streakfly is cheaper but worse, but if it’s a road tempo with tight turns I’d pick it
Seconding this and the post below saying they're more of a trainer. I got my Streakflys thinking they would be a good tempo and track shoe that might even be able to swap out with my Vaporfly 2s for some races. It hasn't really been any of those things for me. I wore the streakflys for one race soon after buying them and my legs felt so much more beat up than in Vapors. I find the Streakflys ok for easy runs and strides, also used them for hill sessions which they feel good for but I have found them to really lack the snap of Vaporflys or even a traditional low profile flat. I swapped them out for Adidas adizero adios and those have just been a lot better for me in terms of strides and hills.

I've been seeing these a lot on my Instagram and I actually saw a guy at a local road race with a pair. I'm very interested but lately Nike has not been delivering for me. I had the same feeling for the original Streakfly and for the Peg Turbo Next Nature but both have been duds. I found a use for the Streakflys at least but even trying them on at discount outlets I could tell they weren't for me.
