My 11yo son is a good long, triple and high jumper...he was using Hypersprints for 100, 200, 800, LJ, HJ, etc but was having problems with his Biceps femoris tendon from hyperextending his knee during big LJ performances. These nike shoes are just the thing....not as flexible and fast as the hypersprints but not as stiff as some other LJ shoes...and no more tendon problems. He is still gettng used to the shoes and is not jumping as far as he was in the hypersprints but that will come.
Pros: lightweight, durable, comfortable
Cons: runs small

It's a nice shoe, but it is WAY TOO NARROW. I ordered an full size larger than my normal size and I couldn't get my foot into it. I have a normal width foot, so if yo want to use this LJ spike you better have an A or B width foot.
Pros: lightweight
Cons: runs narrow

I love this product because it has lasted for five months of wear and tear and has stood up to hard abuse during training. Awesome shoe! Would recommend it to all long/triple jumpers!

Nice looking shoes, gave me many compliments.
Ordered .5 size bigger, I use size 10 Nike Free 3.0 v4, ordered size 10 Nike ZLJ. Should've ordered 9.5. Because of this the side of the lateral toes is narrow.
It's a really good shoe for LJ, I increased my distance and my form. However, it's not so good for sprinting.
The order arrived after 29 days (international order)
Cons: uncomfortable

I purchased this awhile ago and I used it recently at a track event. These things helped me big time but i had to break them in because they were too narrow.
Pros: lightweight, durable, jump far, increase speed
Cons: uncomfortable, too narrow

I ordered this shoe right before my first track meet of the season. I had been practicing with a different shoe that my school provided so I did not know how I was going to feel wearing this spike and to my surprise it was amazing. This shoe, unlike my other pair, has the 3/4 length plate which was a very different feeling but a good kind of different. Ever since then I have become a "fanboy" of this shoe, I absolutely love it! It is very comfortable, especially in the plant for long jump. I use it for triple jump as well. In that sense it is not the best but it performs very well, maintaining its comfort throughout all three stages. It has a snug fit which I like a whole lot. The durability is also good. So far there are absolutely 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. The one thing to be careful with this shoe is that the laces may get caught in the zipper if you are not careful in unzipping the shoe. It has happened to me twice.
Pros: lightweight, durable, comfortable
Cons: laces may get caught in zipper

These spikes made my son feel like he was walking on a cloud; and, he said that he felt like he was going to jump out of the long jump pit! I loved the fit of the spikes on his foot. They fit like a glove! They are superb!

These shoes are sexy and when you look good, you feel good. I get all kinds of compliments on them all the time. I'm currently in the process of breaking them in but I see myself jumping as far as ever in them soon enough! Good fit.
