"Men's Nike® Zoom Rival M 9: The Nike Zoom Rival M 9 is a track and field spike built for speed across a range of distances. Whether you're running the 800m or pushing through the 5K, these spikes give you a secure, responsive platform that keeps your foot locked in place while you focus on moving fast. The lightweight mesh upper breathes well during hard efforts, and the arch band works with the spike plate to keep your midfoot stable and engaged through every stride.What makes these spikes feel different is how they're constructed. The 3/4-length bootie design eliminates unnecessary layers, keeping the overall weight down to just 6.6 ounces so you're not carrying extra shoe. The spike plate extends under the arch, delivering midfoot responsiveness and support exactly where you need it during acceleration and push-off. Solid rubber through the heel features a horizontal traction pattern that grips the track and holds up through repeated use, while the zoned mesh overlay adds durability without sacrificing breathability.Why Our Fit Experts Love This Shoe""I grabbed these for a track workout and immediately felt how locked-in the midfoot feels.
