The Nike Zoom D is a Nike entry-level distance track running spike. I have run multiple races in these and many workouts in these. The races were anywhere from 800m-3200m and workouts anywhere from 200m intervals to mile repeats.

I could say this spike is good for runners who have a decent amount to many experiences with spikes, but I wouldn't exactly call it entry-level.

In terms of looks, this spike has a very simplistic design with multiple colorways. I purchased the all white with the black logo colorway.

In terms of the midsole, there isn’t much to say because it’s a track spike and isn’t meant to have a lot to the midsole.

But with the midsole that there is, there isn’t anything too impressive but does the job well. It is a full-length Cushlon foam. The Cushlon provides more heel cushioning, and it is responsive.

The breathability of the Zoom D was fine as it should be for its purpose. The spike has an engineered mesh upper that holds the midfoot area secure while also being breathable. It did have a very basic engineered mesh upper and got the job done.

The flexibility of this spike was very good as it should be for a long distance spike. The spike plate is set strategically on the outsole so that it has prestige flexibility.

In terms of comfort, Zoom D had the right amount of comfort once it finally got broken in.

In terms of traction, this shoe had a pretty good grip on the track. The Pebax spike plate had a great grip even when the track was wet or flooded.

It also features a Sharkskin heel pad that goes from the midfoot to the heel area, which also adds more grip to the spike.

In conclusion, the Nike Zoom D track spikes are a good average and will definitely get the job done. The shoe does have a basic feel and basic look to it, but it provides good cushioning, flexibility, and breathability.
