Mid-Distance Spikes
Mid-distance spikes feature half-to-three-quarter-length plates with more cushioning than sprint spikes, designed for sustained speed over 800m to 1500m. The super spike revolution has hit this category hardest, with PEBA foams and carbon plates delivering measurable speed improvements. The Nike Victory won multiple Olympic golds at Paris 2024.
