The Maxfly 2 is a premium, event-specific sprint spike aimed at short-distance track athletes chasing energy return through the curves and straights. The Air Zoom unit and carbon Flyplate deliver aggressive propulsion, and Nike claims improved season-long durability over the original. It is not a distance or training shoe—purely a competition tool for sprinters and hurdlers.
Ultra-aggressive, firm sprint ride with responsive Air Zoom cushioning and a propulsive carbon Flyplate that keeps the foot planted through curves.
Runs small; Nike and reviewers recommend ordering a half size up, and the lockdown fit can feel tight for wider feet.
Sprinters and hurdlers racing 100m to 400m who want a responsive, propulsive carbon-plated spike.
You have wide feet and won't size up, or you need anything beyond short sprint racing.
