Designed for elite long-distance track athletes, the Nike ZoomX Dragonfly 2 offers unparalleled stability, propulsive feel, and energy return, engineered to give you a competitive edge on the start line. While highly specialized for track and competition, these spikes integrate cutting-edge technology to optimize performance over long distances.
Enhanced Stability Design: Features a wider flat area to the base and an elevated big-toe-side platform, ensuring greater stability during straightaways and bends on the track.
Lighter, More Responsive Carbon Flyplate: A newly designed carbon fiber plate is lighter and more responsive than its predecessor, providing improved durability and a powerful, propulsive feel with each stride.
Full-Length ZoomX Foam: Utilizes Nike's lightest and most resilient foam throughout the midsole, delivering exceptional energy return and a springy sensation for sustained performance.
Engineered Mesh Upper: The upper is constructed from engineered mesh, offering enhanced breathability and comfort. Its conforming fit provides a "disappearing sensation," crucial for long distances.
Optimized Traction Pattern: Equipped with a four-spike traction pattern, designed for superior grip and performance on track surfaces.
"Blueprint Pack" Inspiration: Part of the "Blueprint pack," its design draws inspiration from Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman's pursuit of performance and weight saving, reflected in subtle design elements.
Curved Plate Design: The plate's curved geometry contributes to a naturally propulsive feel, aiding in forward momentum.

The Nike ZoomX Dragonfly 2 track spikes are engineered for peak performance in long-distance track events, from 1500m up to 10,000m. The combination of full-length ZoomX foam and the responsive carbon flyplate delivers a springy, propulsive ride that minimizes energy loss, allowing athletes to maintain pace and kick effectively in the final stages of a race.
Long-Distance Racing: Experience sustained comfort and propulsion, crucial for maintaining speed and efficiency over extended distances.
Track Workouts: Ideal for speed work, interval training, and tempo runs on the track, helping you adapt to race-day conditions.
Enhanced Stability: The wider base and elevated toe platform are particularly beneficial for navigating turns with confidence and stability, preventing wasted energy.
Breathability: The engineered mesh upper keeps your feet cool and comfortable, even during intense efforts and in warmer conditions.
These spikes are not intended for everyday training on hard surfaces or non-track environments, as this can degrade the specialized outsole and spike plate. Their design is singularly focused on maximizing speed and efficiency on the oval.
Spike Insertion: Ensure the included spikes are securely screwed into the spike receptacles using the provided spike wrench. Do not overtighten, but confirm they are snug.
Lacing: Lace the spikes firmly but not overly tight. A secure fit is crucial for stability and preventing slippage without causing discomfort.
Track Surfaces: These spikes are designed for use on synthetic track surfaces (e.g., Mondo, tartan). Using them on asphalt, concrete, or gravel will damage the spike plate and reduce their effectiveness.
Spike Length: Always confirm the permissible spike length for your specific track facility. Most tracks require 7mm or 9mm spikes.
Cleaning: After use, gently brush off any dirt or debris from the upper and sole. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Drying: Allow the spikes to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store your spikes in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag to protect them. Keep them out of direct sunlight.
Spike Maintenance: Periodically check the spikes for wear. Replace worn or blunt spikes to maintain optimal traction and protect the spike plate. Ensure all spikes are present and tightly secured before each use.
