Description
The Nike Zoom Fly 5 EK Eliud Kipchoge is inspired by the shoe this legendary runner was wearing in Rome in 2004 when he broke the 5K world record. The Eliud Kipchoge Nike Zoom Fly 5 EK features a lightweight, breathable upper composed of white mesh. A thick red stripe courses from the midsole to the eyestays on the side panel, and the tail of the black outlined Nike Swoosh crosses over it. An off-white Zoom X foam midsole offers bounce and energy return in its light, responsive cushioning system. A full-length articulated plate is inserted under foot to deliver a propulsion sensation that provides a smooth transition at different paces. And finally, black rubber pods at the forefoot and heel comprise the durable outsole. What we find most delightful about this elite running shoe are the personal Eliud Kipchoge touches. One medial midsole sports his motto "No human is limited," and the other features his signature. The Nike Zoom Fly 5 EK Eliud Kipchoge was released on August 31, 2023, for $160 retail.
