The Nike Dragonfly 2 Elite is a lightweight track racing spike designed for distance events from 1,500 to 10,000 metres. A full-length ZoomX foam midsole and curved carbon-fibre Flyplate provide a responsive feel intended for racing pace. The shoe has four permanent spikes for grip and a broader midfoot and forefoot than its predecessor to support stability on bends. Nike describes the engineered upper as breathable and adds reinforcement around the heel. Listed weight is approximately 130 grams in men's US size 8.5. This is a specialist track shoe, not an everyday road trainer, and its fixed spikes cannot be exchanged for different pin lengths. Before buying, check that the spike design complies with your venue's rules. Compare the unisex size conversion carefully and assess heel hold and forefoot space with the socks you will wear on race day. Nike lists a regular US price of US$200 before shipping and taxes, although individual colours and sizes may be discounted. Choose the model for track racing rather than general-purpose training.
