For anyone that has bought these recently, can you tell me if the tongue is still padded? The original Streak XC did not have a padded tongue but for some reason when nike rebranded it as the Streak LT they added a ton of padding under the tongue. It makes my foot feel crowded.

Do these new versions still have the padded tongue?

It was pretty much my all time favorite shoe until nike botched it with that update.

man i wish i saw this post a few days ago, i spent some time w the shoe in a showroom overseas. anyways the major update i was excited about was the toebox: as you see its soft thin spongy wraparound fabric without that band of suedelike material (from the tongue / trim) that was held down w military grade nylon stitching--the underside of which ripped the skin off your toes if you were sockless which i always am...

it is now so close to being a simple, near perfect shoe...

I bought them this week, and I just ran a very good session of repeats on the road in the new streak LT2. the toe box is as mentioned. however, this makes the toe box feel much more wide, and less of a "track spike feel" from the previous streaks. there is no padding on the tongue (underneath).
