When the Adidas Takumi Sen 8 and the Nike Streakfly were announced, most people – including myself – were convinced that we would have an epic 5/10k racing shoe battle. The reality is a little bit different.
Both shoes are really lightweight (181g for the Streakfly, 207g for the Takumi Sen 8 – that is in my size US11). And both share similar stack heights and drop (32/26 for the Streakfly, 33/27 for the Takumi). But their foams and rides are very different. And it’s hard to argue that they’re both 5/10k racing shoes.
