I think my dad runs in that shoe because I always heard the same noise at night in their room 🤨2:28
Oooffff, you need to move out.
I think he’s just using his invisible treadmill
??
Annan I just heard it lmao!!
Maybe he’s jumping rope
The tempo next% would make sense as a daily trainer for like eliud kipchoge because his easy days are racing speed for most of us
Eliud kipchoge's easy days are actually very slow, very long runs. Up to 20 miles at around a 10 minute pace.
Run slower to run faster. Him and his team run about 4-5 thousand miles a year and he stayed at least 85 percent of his runs start at 5 or 6 am and they are 8-10 min pace 15-22 mile runs.
Seriously man runs a 5 minute mile for 26 consecutive miles lol
@@TheDrunkenPickle man he be pushing 4:32-4:42 miles 🤯
Agree. Huge spongy feel, especially in walk mode. Amazing that the shoe comes apart at the front sizes of the shoe. I loved the look and feel of it initially but within 2-weeks it began to fray (without running). Yes, if I’m walking behind you, I’m sure you’re thinking that an Army Brigade is coming up fast - very loud.
We need a video clip with audio of Thomas and Meaghan running in these shoes for the sound effect.

Kofuzi - did u review this?
Bought these today and tried them out with a slower pace 8k run. It was tough to run slow..the shoe really made me wanna go fast lol. Even if they felt a bit clunky I still liked the feel of them and my legs felt fresh afterwards. I'm excited to try them on my next longer and faster run.
Hey! I'm considering buying this shoes. What's your impression after two months with them? My slow runs are paced at around 5:30/km and I would use these shoes as a daily trainer. I'm worried about the clunkiness that is talked about in the video. Do you think it will be an issue, at that pace? Thanks a lot! Hope you are having great fun :)
@@edoardomeneghini3627 hey, did you buy the shoes?
These shoes are no Joke, I hit my PR in a 11 km on the first run. My previous pr was 10 km at a pace of 4:45 per km in oasics get 2000-7. My pr that I hit yesterday was 11 km at a pace of 4:29 per km with the tempo next %. Truely shocked at the comfort and the push these shoes give. Now I’m looking for a comfortable stability shoe for my longer slower runs.
It is indeed easy to overtrain in these shoes if your usual running shoes are not as maximalist. The first time I tried these, I ran by feel and meant to run thresholds or lower but ended up running anaerobic.
Got my pair today. Never ran in it yet, fitted it on. Fits like a glove, makes me feel taller, feels bouncy... Some people complained about the weight, for me its not bad at all.. my 1st impression, I love them.. Now to hit the road.
TTS?
I run a steady 10km at 4.00 pace, and the shoe feels great
I love this shoe. Works well for me even as a daily and I am not quick.
This shoe did very good with me. Ran a 10K today as an easy run. People need to understand that there are different definitions of easy running pace. If the complaint is you can’t run an easy run in these then go with a different pair of shoes. These are great for easy and fast runs. Handled the snow, ice, road, trail, very well.
Best shoes I’ve ever owned. Raced and trained in them until 400 miles where one of the bubbles popped
Would you use this for 800-2400m runs ?
So the Tempo% aren’t going to disqualify normal/non-elite runners on race days?
@@davaghnpickett1148 nah longer distances mainly. Used them for cross but got vaporflys for track
@@AshtrayHDlate they will not disqualify you
@@abewerner4584 what shoes would you recommend for running?
I totally agree with this sentiment! The shoe doesn't do slow at all 😂😂.. I kept trying to slow down and it was like "nah".. but had a ton of fun in it .. I'm gonna use it primarily for tempo days, 10k, half marathon races and depending on the race even a few marathons .. I usually run in the Pegasus and my Zoom Fly 3s and slow pokey days .. the React Milers .. oh yeaaaahhh, that 200 was a hard pill to swallow 🤦🏿♂️.. but hell, there's no races. So I figured I'd splurge on myself
Good attitude
I'm always curious what is meant by 'slower pace'. I've been running in my Zoom Fly 3s for the last year and it's time to update as I'm closing in on 1000km. I run 10-12 k at a pace of 5'20" per km. Is this considered a slow pace?
Nice review! do you have a video that explains the whole Nike lineup? I’d like to try but I’m not sure which model to go for. I’m more familiar with other brands like Hoka.
Hoping to get one out, thanks for watching!
Found a pair at the Nike outlet for $85.00. Light and
COMFORTABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with slower paces...I sink into the shoe more and everyone can hear me coming haha. But as soon as I get up more and run faster the shoe bounces back so quickly!
I’m a true forefoot runner too(all my wear is typically the ball of the foot to my toes)
That hell a lot of running sneakers behind you guy ..
Is there any shoes that feel similar to these? In the propulsion aspect. Other than Nikes?
Well it’s two years later but this year i just started running and now with BF i got the Alphafly Next% FK + the Tempo + the Peg 39 Premium(whatever that means) for 275 Euros here in Spain, so i’d say i’m pretty set, starting Marathon training in December for my 1st Marathon ever, in Barcelona in March.
Poponar
Whether a person with insertional Achilles heel pain can try this shoes as it has high heel drop and good heel height and also flexible heel counter?
Guys i have a problem , when im running i step on the inside of the foot . Do you know if it helps you to step to the outside?
Better than Zoomfly2/3?
So Pegasus 38 is better for everyday runs?
Do you have any vaporfly 4% for sale the ones I can see in video 3 colm along first pear
can you use these shoes for running on a treadmill
Its not meant to land on you heel. If you landbon the heel you are going to slow. Pick up the pace 80%+ then you feel what they are made for. The technology is amazing 😍
gd review!
I like that explanation, a cheaper race day shoe than alphaflys but wait, isn’t it race illegal?
Only by world athletics, which nulifys world record attempts and professional races
I use Hoka Arahi 5s for my slow runs since I tend to pronate. Just picked these up on sale and they deff help with faster runs. I don't recommend for new runners like me since I'm not the fastest runner and wont get the full benefit. My fastest mile is 7:40 so far. Im 2 months into running.
Best for training n running?
After i watch this review i decided to get 1 and try out myself
and?
@@georgepagotelis He returned it😂. These are horrible.
I did my tempo run for the very first time with these shoes.
Thomas and Megan are spot on with their critique.
IMO, the shoe feels clunky at slower speeds and is a bit more forgiving at faster speeds and feels more at ease at that faster tempo or speed pace.
It is a bitter firmer than i would have imagined and the plate feels different than in the vaporfly and alphafly.
i agree that the midsole cushion of the react foam in the heel makes along with the plate makes it feel not as responsive and propsulive as either the vaporfly or the alphafly,
And it rides and feels a bit jolty at times.
i also agree that that it is somewhat a loud shoe and the extra rubber sole makes the foot strike more firm than forgiving compared to the other shoes mentioned.
Would i use it as a speed shoe? p
robably yes, for those sessions that i want to do speed work but i wouldnt race in it and use it as my sole daily trainer or even my sole speed work shoe.
But, this shoe imo does not feel like either the alphafly or vaporfly which i both enjoy. So knowing, that don't expect it to run like those shoes either.
After a few runs the closest comparison of these shoes I could make would be with the Vaporfly. The energy return feeling is close - not equal, but it misses
little -, although it does it in a different way.
For slower paces, I’ve got a different impression. The React foam at the rear gives a firmer ride at slower paces, which are common in several types of workouts, while the Zoom X/Air at the front is still pushing you ahead. This is different from a Vaporfly, where the whole midsole is so soft that its ride only makes at faster paces, when you’re pushing. The Tempo makes sense in a wider variety of paces, being certainly more durable at the same time.
So I see this Tempo Next% as a trainer in this way, and agree it is a shoe to be reserved for the key workouts, tempo runs, or fast sessions. It can be seen as a “cheaper” racer, because it is at least as fast as most of the racers in the market.To be honest, I think a lot of runners would feel better the energy return and this rocking felling in races with this shoe instead of a Vaporfly, as it deals better with slower paces. Bear in mind that Vaporfly is designed to excel at the highest performance, for guys that can run around 3’00/km.
I’m loving this shoe.
Hey Thiago! I'm considering buying this shoes. What's your impression after one full year with them? I'm so on the fence right now and need a new pair of Nike shoes and these seeemed to be the more balanced, yet exciting, option. My slow runs are paced at around 5:30/km and I would use these shoes as a daily trainer. I'm worried about the clunkiness that is talked about in the video. Do you think it will be an issue, at that pace? Thanks a lot! Hope you are having great fun :)
@@edoardomeneghini3627 Well, after 800 km, they are still great. I wouldn't put them among the most balanced options, an all round trainer. It works for easy runs, such clunkiness is not exactly an issue at all, but you can clearly see how powerful they are in fast sessions and long runs. I normally use them in key fast paced sessions, leaving "normal shoes" for the easy ones. But well, they are always exciting, so it could fit your needs.
And, a year later, I prefer Tempo Next over my Vaporfly 4%, and they were my choice in my 5K and 21k PB's run.
Is good shoe for heavy people?
Couldn’t agree more about the pacing. When I’m over 8min mile, I hate the shoe. It feels so spongy and unstable when I’m running on uneven sidewalks. Anything under 8min a mile that feels so much better, and the shoe feel so much better and bouncy
Really!? I thought the tempo meant really fast like 5-6 min mile. So the “comfortable pace” in these shoes are sub 8?
I'm always curious what is meant by 'slower pace'. I've been running in my Zoom Fly 3s for the last year and it's time to update as I'm closing in on 1000km. I run 10-12 k at a pace of 5'20" per km. Is this considered a slow pace? I'm not sure if I should buy the Zoom Fly 3s again (which I like) or upgrade to the Tempo Next%...
Stick with the zoom fly these shoes punish you for easy running, run a 4:10 per km and they will feel better, but definitely a shoe that has a skill gap
You recommend these for exercise like jumping squats and skipping rope?
Hell no.
Is this a good shoe for more road racing or track racing?
I’m like 4 months late, but my pair works best on road/sidewalk or hardened dirt paths, don’t take it in the loose dirt or grass because the bounce makes you sink and kills your legs, and track racing makes you bounce almost too much but still work better than lifestyle shoes would
These are like the vapor street but upgraded
whats slow vs fast pace for you thomas? off topic: do u have german origin?
My roots are German. Slow paces for me are 9s, fast pace would be high 6s-low 7s depending on where I am in training.
@@Believeintherun Hi Thomas i'm at mid 7min/km for about 3-5km daily run.do you reckon I need this or other models?
Someone explain to me what fast pace these are suited for? What's classed as fast? What if my fast pace is someone's slow pace?
U can feel the benefits if you run under 5:30 per km. It might cut 10-15 secs per km. It punishes you if you go slower than 5:30min per km, and rewards you for extra effort. Although, don’t use those shoes only. Use ones that have no plate, and rotate them, so you make sure you always train your calves and other parts around your ankles. I find that plated shoes don’t fully train the calves as much as regular running shoes.
Would these be suitable for short grass surfaces?
No
Same size as your vapor fly?
Thanks
Yes
Y’all In Baltimore?
I purchased a pair this weekend and all the negatives of this shoe I didn't feel. I think a person's foot strike plays a big part in the negatives!!!!!!
If by foot strike you mean that the Tempo takes time to adjust to because it changes your gait. Then I’d agree. The shoe has grown on me over time. One of my favorite Nike shoes that isn’t the vaporfly or alphaFLY
Does anyone know what are good running shoes for wide feet?
We have a wide foot round up on the website
Great review... Rather the NIKE Invincible for me then
Totally different shoes for different reasons.
This shoes wasn’t even on my wish list but saw it on clearance at the Nike Clearance Store today! $100! I had a 20% off coupon and bam 💥 $80! For $80, this is an awesome shoe. This was quick to the clearance shelve. Got it in the mango color and it looks sick.
Great pick up!
Not sure what you mean Thomas when you said that people with wide feet who want to wear Nike complain about them being narrow. Nike sells sneakers to anybody who wants to buy them. And yes their line of sneakers has pretty much caters to people with narrow feet. I used to fit fine in non wide size 11.5 Nikes up til 2011 - after that they made them significantly more narrow, and now even wide sizes in Nike sneakers are still too tight.
Say it again for the people in the back
The vaporflys are incredibly narrow, and yet the marketing would make one believe that it is for anyones foot. I have to sell my vaporflys cause i cant return them… i now know this lesson. Tempos on the other hand(foot?) fit incredibly well on my wider flatter foot!
I have severe overpronation. Is this shoe suitable as an overpronator?
No
For me, my pair didn't come alive until after 100 miles. I am on my second pair.
I thought this shoe didn't have a plate?
I don't have this shoe yet because it hasn't been available in any store and I want to try it on before I make the decision but I think that mixed reviews might depend on strike. This shoe might need a forefoot strike. If one is a heel striker then those air pillars don't push him or her forward. Some people have done tests and showed that they perform worse in this shoe than in some other models and some runners find this shoe faster. Btw, I cannot wear even the Pegasus Turbo 2 for slow paces. I love the shoe when I run miles at paces that are between 5:30 and 6:30 but if I try to jog slowly, I feel that there is something wrong or loose in the midsole.
About costs of running shoes. The list price is not everything. What counts is also how you manage your shoe rotation. When you truly reserve the most expensive and newest pairs for quality workouts then you can get much more out of the investment you made. For junk miles one can wear an older daily trainer. For faster paces you can pair this shoe with Beacon for example. I bought the v3 a week ago when it was discounted for the weekend (40% off) and it's perfectly fine for marathon pace and uptempo runs. That would leave tempo runs and paces that are even faster where one really needs to push for a more expensive shoe pair, i.e. a show with a carbon plate.
Nike and running warehouse have 30 day return policies. You can order it try it and return it if you don’t dig it.
Nike policy is 60 days for members. It's free to join and you can beat them up for almost 2 months before you make up your mind. I have about 50 miles in mine and I'm keeping them.
@@soleman2004 i don't want to do that way because I am not a consumer. I want to be in good relationships with all sales reps and stores in the industry. Also I don't know if that policy is available in my country. If they sent me all models and I would send those back that I don't even want to test, it would be okay but right now I want first to see the shoe and then we talk about with suppliers what happens next. I can run something like 3000+ mls a year. I cannot run in every shoe because I test some trainers up to 500 mls. I have probably 20 pairs in rotation and struggle to put mls in them. So the strategy right now is to write brief reviews every week (1-2 pairs a week) and selectively test those models that I like. Not to order randomly some pairs. It doesn't make sense.
I have one. It is true that it feels awkward when you run at slow pace with this shoes
also what's fast define that
Wait do these have the carbon plate?
Not carbon, TPU
Loved mine until the right shoe airbag burst.. only 62kg too 😬
Send it back!
@@Believeintherun already have done! Picked up a pair of mango vaporfly instead! I’ll stick to my zoom streak for fast training.
I have one and the comfort is pretty shitty, I walk just a little and I already have blisters on both feet. Compared to other adidas shoes I have, it is uncomparable when it comes to comfort
Can you not use the alpha fly for daily use?
Sure, if you're running fast every time and don't mind that they'll only last about 150 miles.
@@jackwright3098 plenty people ran once er 300-500 miles on it. Learned to not drag your feet and you won't kill the outsole.
I don't understand all the comments about this shoe not doing "slow". Well firstly, it depends what your definition of 'slow' is. Someone's 9 minute mile pace could be their fast pace, and someone's 11 minute mile pace could be their slow pace. Everyone is different. I just do tempo runs in this between 8 and 9 minute mile pace and it's absolutely fine and I've done over 50 miles in it. I agree, it's not a daily trainer, but this shoe isn't just reserved for people that run 6 or 7 minute mile paces!!
We aren’t suggesting a slow or fast pace. We are saying for the individuals slow or fast pace. If you do easy miles in 11 min and above and your fast pace is 9:30, then we suspect you’ll like the shoe at the 9:30 pace over the 11 min pace.
How do they feel when just walking around? Are they awkward or clunky? Does it feel normal to walk in them or are you aching to get into normal shoes after a run? Would you spend a whole day walking around in the mall or at Disney World?
Could these shoes be good for handball? 🤾♂️
wouldn't recommend it, as I don't think you need racing shoes for handball
Can I use this shoes for standing 10 hours?
So many better shoes to do that in than these
What are my chances liking the Tempo? Ordered the Nike By You, took ages and still waiting. My Alphafly arrived first, tested it on 3 runs and gave up. The medial side gave me arch pain on my left foot arch, felt like a stability pair. Returning them on Monday. So sad.
Same issue for me in the Alphafly, but no issue in the tempo’s luckily
Finally. 😀
Is 4:45 mins per km a good speed to enjoy the benefits of these pair of shoes ?
Yeah
Thanks! am going for it then...getting @ USD140 on discount...will share my experience.
Damn im getting this im running at 4:10s-4:30s 5k-10k
I’m in the army, we run a lot on all types of terrains. Is this shoe worth buying in my case? I run a mile in 6 min.
Not very versatile for multiple surfaces
@@Believeintherun I ended up buying the zoomX vapor fly X Next%, but if those aren’t good enough can you recommend anything? Being on a base you’ll easily go from running on a road to running on uneven land like a trail.
@@Abc123______ Sounds like you need a TRAIL shoe that can also handle a lot of pavement. Not an elite marathon race day shoe. Nike Wildhorse 5 is one suggestion I've heard.
Hmmm... are you sure about the weight? I haven't hold the shoe myself, but runningwarehouse listed the weight as 8.2oz for size US8, and roadtrailrun review listed the weight as 8.9oz for US9. Other sites listed similar numbers as well...
I'm not saying it's a heavy shoe (although there are lots of tempo day shoes lighter than this one), but your info on its weight is quite far than accurate.
8.45 size 10.5 is what our scale gave us. 🤷🏻♂️
Went back to watch RunWithJ’s review, he was one of the first to review this product, and his size 9 was 9.2 ounces.
@@Believeintherun that is strange. Oh well.. doesn't matter much.
@@Believeintherun Lol. Maybe you guys got the version 2.0. Might just have to recalibrate the scale.
Zoom Fly 3 was too heavy. In size 9.5 it was 272 grams when I put it on my scale whereas Peg Turbo 2 is 215 grams. I really hope what Thomas said is true because I prefer lighter training shoes for speed days but I am really skeptical because of two reasons. First of all, AlphaFly is not light and secondly, Tempo has even higher stack height and some React, which is heavier than ZoomX.
So it has also carbonfiber plate?
No it’s composite with part nylon, a carbon fiber training shoe is the zoom fly 3
@@andrewbostic2087 can you still get fly3? thank fully zoom flyknits still 2 brand news really loved that shoe
You need to check the weights again. 10.5 is over 10 ounces.
Size 10.5
@@Believeintherun You said 8.4 ounces for a 10.5, that’s not accurate. It’s should be close to or a little over 10 ounces. Might just have to rex ALIYU our scale and Megan also said it’s on the lighter side of running shoes, most will disagree. I think one of the biggest issues is the weight of the shoe, just way too heavy for a tempo day shoe.
Do you have the shoe? Weigh yours. We weigh a lot of shoes, my guess is if the weight is off it isn’t by that much.
Weighing it over, the shoe is showing 9.5 oz. 270 grams. Gonna put it on another scale to check Monday.
Please keep buying these everyone! My Nike stock is at an all time high!! LOL
Same
Got you man! Just got one pairs
The best.... Pegassus Turbo !!!
When I go out for a slow easy, recovery run I don't pick my tempo day shoes. When I go out for a steady paced run I don't pick my race shoes. When I go out for my tempo days I don't wear my easy day shoes. When I race I don't wear my tempo shoes. Moral of the story.....shoes targeted for a style of run are meant for you to wear that shoe for that style of run. Why do these reviews always state the purpose of the shoe then pick apart every aspect of the shoe that it's not intended for. This shoe is for tempo based days. And if that is what it is good at then focus on that. I'm not wearing my vaporflys for recovery days and I'm not using my Hoka Clifton 8s for setting 5k P.R.s
2:29. The guy is tryna seduce this lady with these slaps.
The noise is a deal breaker to me honestly. I run in the city and already feel insecure sometimes. Really don' t want to draw even more attention to myself.
You can try sprinkling some baby powder around the cavity of the air pods. It works for me and the noise’s stopped.
Let them feel insecure hearing something is coming at them fast ;)
It depends on how you deal with the noise really, but I don’t like distraction when I’m focused and immersed in my running...
After a few runs, the noise wen away for me, so I'm not sure why they are still hearing it. Also, "slappy" depends on your form. If you are landing flat footed, then the large forefoot surface area will be slappy. Buy and try on Nike for 60 days for their free membership...and free shipping both ways if you return them.
Megan blink twice if you need help
I found it to be very uncomfortable basically unwearable for me
I still cant believe how Nike managed to break the Marathon Record with this kind of funky and ridiculous shoes.. to me atleast.. its ridiculous..
First.
nIke....som of the ugliest running shoes...
