I just discovered these spikes on Eastbay. Pretty badass imo.
Which colorway do you guys like best?

Spike structure looks good. Colors are gay.
I agree with the above poster..most of the colors are pretty gay...i'd consider the yellow ones maybe..
Too effing expensive for xc shoes.
The Challenge Reds and the two Grey options are pretty nice in my opinion. I'm a fan of Nike spikes.
I actually am getting these for my birthday. I went with the orange ones.
does anybody know when these are supposed to be officially released?
Got these shoes today. The orange ones on Eastbay do not have a blue midsole as shown in the picture. In reality they are white. The other colors could be like this too.
I really like them. I had been using the Kennedy XC for 6+ years, but they now have multiple holes in the upper and I don't know if they would last another season.
any update on these? Have people raced in them? Are the soles durable enough for a course with some small stones?
The soles are rubber, of course they are. Same as any other XC spike.
Great racing shoes. Like a durable matumbo with 6 spikes. I recommend them for most XC conditions.
really seems to me that they should be named the matumbo xc. i guess they probably went with victory because it's better marketing.
I've raced once with them so far on a grass course and felt great in them. I ran fast and really felt good down the stretch. I ran without socks and got some bad blisters/cuts on my achilles and on my foot by my big toe. If you get them I would just suggest doing a mile or so in them before racing in them to toughen the skin up.
i tried my first couple races in them with no socks, and the suede strip over the toes kept rubbing the skin of my second toe raw, so i had to start wearing a really thin pair of socks with them. that's the only problem i had with them. other than than that they're pretty much perfect

Same exact problem except that it cut into my foot and I finished with some bloody spikes. But other than that they are really nice
