The air bubble popped from 1 season of use. Also I may be pounding too hard on takeoff but my heel has been getting destroyed from long jumping in these, a small amount of heel padding would definitely help.

These shoes feel really bouncy, comfortable, and most importantly fast. However, for me personally they felt a little bit on the snugger side of spikes and a quite heavy on my feet.

Shipped fast and feels great. Best LJ spike on the market at the moment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Nike Air shoes are pretty comfortable. I have very wide feet and they fit very snug. However, I was able to adjust the laces and the velcro to be as wide as possible and somewhat comfortable. Size 10 did fit me just right length wise. I do wear size 9 but I like to go up a size when it comes to sporting shoes. I do like the design and love the bright colors the most. The only thing I would change is the width. If they were a bit wider they would definitely be more comfortable but I think after a few wears I can get them there. I would definitely recommend them! They're a great pair of shoes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike Air Zoom LJ Elites are a 100% head turner. If you do track and field, do yourself a favor and add these to your cart immediately. They outperform all the other pairs I have ever used for track and field competitions. I would say these run true to size and feel extremely breathable while being well structured which is very important to me when I am running. I like how you can really feel the stiff rigid sole, which helps you push off the start line but they are so feather-lite that it feels like you don't have anything on while running. I am truly obsessed with the color scheme that these shoes come in. It feels nice knowing you standout in a sea of other track shoes. I know that color schemes don't affect performance, but when you feel like a million bucks , it definitely makes you run and get off the starting line like a champion. The color scheme and design just makes you feel happy and the bright pops of color just give you a boost of energy. They make me happy every time I look down at my feet as I am getting ready to get on the starting blocks. Pros: - Extremely breathable mesh - Structured rigid soul with amazing traction that give you immediate responsiveness - The color scheme. Definitely makes you stand out from the rest of the people in the crowd. They are so unique and make you happy just looking at them, - The traction is definitely on point without adding too much bulk. - The hardware on the sole is designed so that you have quick and easy ability to swap out your spikes. - Love the tool key provided for switching your spikes. Cons: -None

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got these for my husband and he was a huge fan of all the specs on these shoes. The quality of the shoe felt solid and seemed like it would weather a lot of wear. Bonus points for including the carry bag! One of the best parts of the shoe is the cross strap as it really holds your foot in place and the laces down as you're running. Speaking of laces... They are a unique design that may help keep them from loosening, but we found that they sort of catch on the Velcro landing pad and pull easily - but that's mostly cosmetic. Unfortunately the fit wasn't a match for him.... He's a size 13, and runs into this issue with a lot of shoes. These fit fine in length but the toe box is too narrow and constricts movement. If the shoe was offered in a wide, it would definitely have gained a star from me!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are awesome! Bright colored and very comfortable. These shoes are very narrow and supportive. Fit nicely around your foot- similar to a glove. Velcro strap is also supportive and helpful to keep laces down while running. These also come with a fun bag for storage.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got these shoes for my husband but they fit super tight. They were nicely constructed and we liked the colors, but the fit was much tighter than his usual size. The removable cleats were easy to install, but they were super sharp so use with caution. They seem durable and sleek, but as they are too tight we can’t speak to how well they hold up to various workouts. Size up and these may be great shoes for you!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ran track and field in HS, these are top technology - very comfortable and are very nice to look at. The durability is great, they come with a carrying pouch, and they feel great on the track. I haven’t worn them long enough to see if they cause any harm using them for a long period of time but they do not feel as if I will hurt in the long run.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike Air Zoom Long Jump Elite spikes are a great option for jumpers. They are light weight, durable, and run true to size. They are a little snug around the sides. I feel like they will be perfect fit once they’re broken in.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After taking these to the track for the first time, I got several compliments simply on the style and look. The design is fire! The shoe itself is super comfortable. I really like when the velcro strap is included in jumping spikes. It allows you to tighten more broadly on your foot vs just the laces can make it too tight in just one spot. Also, the velcro helped stabilize the foot in place - no sliding! Shoes felt very breathable but I've only tried them in the winter so far - looking forward to using them in summer track! Overall mix of comfort, stability and bounciness made for a very good experience. Will certainly continue to use these.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are great! They are comfortable and great to run in. They are great quality. I definitely recommend them. The colors are also very stylish and the design is awesome. I wouldn’t change anything about the shoes!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really impressed with the quality, build and comfort of this shoe. I got them in my normal size and my feet felt very comfortable with no break time needed. The X-cross diagonal strap system is amazing and it gives my feet the extra lockdown for a more secured fit when maneuvering. Additionally, the padding in between the spikes and the forefoot gives the shoe a nice springlike sensation (it also just looks really cool too) so you can really kick into gear and channel all of that momentum as you run towards the pit. The shoes are top quality and they deliver in terms of performance, style and comfort. I had no issues whatsoever and I will be looking forward to using them for the foreseeable future!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered this shoe right at the end of the track season. I had recently lost a beloved pair so I did not know how I was going to feel wearing this spike and it was amazing. It is very comfortable, especially in the plant for long jump. It has a good snug fit which I like a whole lot. The durability is also good. So far there are no wear marks or signs on this shoe. It is also one of the best looking shoes on the market, a true eye catcher. Totally worth buying.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes exceeded my expectations pretty much across the board. I was concerned that the limited niche that these shoes fit would mean that there could be some corners cut in quality or event-specific design. I was wrong - the shoes are very well built and are actually incredibly comfortable, even when considering the stiff sole. The materials were all top notch. The placement of the spikes and general design of the shoe do make it feel like they're at least supporting or even improving your performance. They fit true-to-size on me (average foot width, size 10.5). I love the velcro strap that wraps across the top of this shoe. It really locks your foot into the shoe - I never felt like my foot was slipping around in the shoe, which is really important when you're looking to optimize performance. They throw in a pretty nice little bag to keep the shoes in which will be appreciate by anyone that has ever had to put filthy shoes into a track bag! My only minor gripe is that the tool that you use to screw on the spikes isn't magnetized (or if it is, it isn't strong enough). Two sides of the spike are flattened so that the tool can get a hold of it, but I had a few instances where the spike fell out if I didn't line it up right. I think they'd be pretty easy to lose in grass considering how small they are, so adding that little feature to the tool would have been nice. Overall, you can't go wrong with these shoes!
