Wore these for a long run and 400m repeat workout this week and they're amazing. Nike hit it out of the park with this one and I rate it better than a lot of other super trainers.
One of class leading shoes from Nike, their midrange has been one of the worst compared to other brands in recent years, only the race shoes were top tier. Abit of a return to form for the zoom fly too, only the 1st and flyknit version were nice, then it got heavier and slower until the 6
What sets this podcast apart and in some ways makes it much better than the others is that you get scientific analysis along with some subjective and non subjective conclusions. The description of it being a hybrid of the Vapor Fly and The Invincible is spot on. I love the Vapor Fly and hated the super clunky Invincible. I’ve had 2 four mile runs with tired legs and was amazed at the responsive bounce from these shoes. I can’t wait to run with them on fresh legs on a 7-10 mile run to really see what they can do. That being said these are a some of most amazing shoes I’ve ever run in as an initial impression.
Went for my first run in the Zoom Fly 6 this morning. My usual Mon - Fri 12km, and my perceived effort for the paces I was running was pretty surprising! 12.25km @ 3:52min/km average and felt very smooth. My favourite super trainer of all time has been the Saucony Endorphin Speed, but based on initial impressions, the Zoom Fly 6 might take that crown. It feels like a more modern, elevated super trainer as opposed to the Endorphin Speed which is a very traditional feeling versatile running shoe that also happens to fall under the super trainer category. Would rate the ZF6 very highly - excited to test them on easy runs and long runs!
I love mine, it's like a taller, softer, more comfortable Puma Deviate Nitro 2s which I absolutely love, will definitely cop up a pair or 2 once they release other darker colors other than the current black.
My initial thoughts was this was completely VF trainer focused...after seeing the cutout profile, distribution of ZoomX and plate configuration...I'm starting to think this might work well for someone who is an AF user. But like you, concerns on long term durability. I still have over 1,000km worth of Tempo Next% to go through, so I can wait to see how the ZF V6 ages....or hope and pray that the Tempo Next% V2 does indeed come to life!
I’m a Tempo Next% die hard too, with three pairs left to go through. I have already bought the Fly 6 and can say it is a very different shoe, but it is by far the best Nike to come out since they discontinued the Tempo. I really like it and have now done more runs in the Fly 6 since getting them than I have the Tempo.
@@akernaghan That seems to be the consensus people are coming to on the ZF V6. They seem to be having problems keeping them in stock, which is usually a good thing for Nike.
You're the only reviewer who explicitly mentioned the difference in feel when standing / walking vs running. Someone else felt surprised once he started running, but didn't highlight the difference. That said, you implied you would discuss the difference more in the Runability segment, but didn't really 😊. I assume you're referring to how much firmer they feel while running? To me, they felt soft like the 1080 while standing, but about as firm as the Superblast 2 (but bouncier) while running. It was pretty jarring to me, like they're completely different shoes. Does that align with your experience?
Great review, thank you. I just bought a pair yesterday and took it for a tempo run today. They really felt great, but as soon I stopped running I felt some discomfort in my knees, don’t understand why.
@@FootDoctorZach the fly 6 is the only Nike running shoe to give me forefoot pain, and I exclusively run in Nike shoes. Can you please speculate why that might be?
Love the look of these and the concept of a daily trainer and race ready shoe. BUT as a forefoot stricker I get a lot of friction on one foot causing blisters. Will probably fit them with some blister bands on the insole. Also on that same foot I get a ball like feel pressing on my forefoot in these. Its only occurring on one foot, and I’m sure its due to form, but I don’t experience that with any other shoe I have
Deciding between the zoom fly 6 and Pegasus plus as a all around shoe for running, gym, and playing pickle ball on court. Which one do you think would be the better option for all around performance ?
Are these good for race days? I’m conflicted if whether I should choose these or go for the Vaporfly 3. But I’m hesitant towards the Vaporfly since they are less durable compared to the Zoom fly 6

@@rasyidizulkifli2285Agree. Nike finally has a winner with the Zoomfly 6.

These are the most Informative and thorough shoe reviews out there. Thank you for cutting apart and making these reviews.

Honestly my favorite shoe at the moment.. I like em so much i have 2 pairs.. all my other shoes collecting dust right now 😅
Yeah I personally loved em
Nice review, made me buy some Zoom Fly 6 for myself. Got mine for a great deal at $110. Also it was the EK version, what a steal!
Where did you get yours?
@ Nike store
That jacket is 🔥
We got my son the jordan heir for his high school season this year, can you do a video breaking the the shoe please... Happy holidays
Next week
Thank you sir, I'm subscribing to you right now...
On your slides, color black anytime soon?
Man, Zach just coming through with another review of a Nike shoe I want to try. Legend!
Gonna get these for 1st marathon race

Yeah basically just unstable when walking then a completely different experience running
I've used the alphafly for walking, the soft heel made it feel like it had negative drop with the toes pointing up. - 100/10 would not recommend lol
Thanks for all you do, you're the greatest at what you do.
I appreciate you

Foam may be too soft for you

This matches my experience with the shoe exactly.

Will probably fit them with some blister bands on the insole. Also on that same foot I get a ball like feel pressing on my forefoot in these.

Great review! Thanks for great content! 🙏
Hope it helped 👍
@ It did! Thanks! 🙏
Sir Zach can u redo the Puma All Pro Nitro, this time use colorways with translucent outsole?
Li. Ning liren 5 review pls bro
agreed I neeeed to see the liren line on this channel
Me toi@@modeloprince
Nice Review 👌
Without orthotics, for a 6'2", 90kg avg build guy, flat feet, tend to over-pronate while running, wider feet, do you recommend this ?
Got these for a half and full marathon I have coming up
Let me know how they hold up
Do you run in the shoes u test?
Im thinking not
thanks for your sharing , video great for me
That’s a great jacket where to cop?
I have my first half marathon on February, do you recommend this one or the Hoka Cielo X1? I have the cielo and already purchased the zoom fly 6
How is zoomfly 6 for 5km in 25 minutes
I’ve been getting really bad shin splints in this shoe…😞
Deciding between the zoom fly 6 and Pegasus plus as a all around shoe for running, gym, and playing pickle ball on court. Which one do you think would be the better option for all around performance ?
The Zoom Fly 6 isn't good for lifting or pickle ball, too unstable
Are these good for race days? I’m conflicted if whether I should choose these or go for the Vaporfly 3. But I’m hesitant towards the Vaporfly since they are less durable compared to the Zoom fly 6
Go for VF3 for race day.
How durable would you think this shoe is going to be for a heavier runner like me (i'm in the far end of heavy).
Good question regarding the SR-O2 specifically - the tread, uppers, shank and ZoomX will be fine but that foam is the question mark
Are they good for day to day work like a barista job
No
best budget basketball shoe rn?
Ur crazy as hell to cut the shoe open and im here saving for months to buy it 💀😂
Not the ASU flag... 😢
Why do you need carbon fiber in a recovery slide that makes no sense at all
Can men wear the women version of this shoes?
Sure why not
If you’ve got long toenails - cut them!
