![]() All of these innovative attributes are wrapped up nicely in one of the lightest spike designs out there making the Dragonfly the best of the best. The rigid plate increases stability and provides energy-saving stiffness, and the rocker geometry of the spike allows for overall increased efficiency. With a midsole that is stacked with 25mm of Nike's incredibly innovative ZoomX foam, the Dragonfly has a SPECIAL underfoot feel that rebounds quickly during faster races and perfectly protects athletes when pacing for longer distances. While designed for longer distance track events, this amazing spike is still propulsive enough for the 800m and comfortable enough to wear for 5k-10k races. The Nike ZoomX Dragonfly has the range to do it all. Below is a look into the unique attributes of the super spikes that are available now. The curved rocker shape of each shoe also adds an efficiency benefit, but the overall thicker sole of incredibly innovative foam is the reason why the new spikes have become so popular and are seen on podiums around the world. ![]() Rather than acting like a spring, the plates function more like a rigid platform that reduces the amount of energy needed in each stride. These energy-saving advantages from the cushioning are then also enhanced by the addition of stiff plates in the midsole. Several companies have developed their own unique midsole compounds that are more resilient than the traditional foams. The benefit of having this extreme cushioning to weight ratio is that the higher amount of foam will help reduce, and slow, onset fatigue allowing runners to feel fresh for longer, and the lightweight build keeps the shoe fast and efficient. These new compounds in super spike midsoles are designed to offer amazing resilience, peppy responsiveness, and unrivaled protection, all while being as lightweight as possible. Super spikes are built with significantly more foam underfoot compared to the traditional spike design which only offers a minimal amount of cushioning. The secret behind these spikes is all in the midsole. ![]()
