Unisex The Wire 2
Liberate your potential with this ultralight, supremely efficient spike, designed to improve personal bests from the mile up to 10,000 meters. Weighing in at a svelte 3.6 ounces, this speedster’s upper has been completely rebuilt with a reinforced mesh and internal suede saddle that holds the foot on the platform with minimal materials. Even the overlays are screen printed on to add a pop of color without excess weight and fewer seams. Spike place flex grooves bring efficiency to the propulsion phase with ample toe flexibility.
Available in men's sizes only. For women we suggest ordering 1.5 sizes smaller than what you usually wear.

Thanks Brooks for developing a durable light weight spike that destroys the Nike Zoom Victory or the Matumbo. I am a loyal Brooks consumer because of the obvious consistent quality of shoes designed by runners for runners. In the past I was forced to use all Brooks for training and then a lighter option from Nike for racing. Patience definitely prevailed because the Wire 2 is in a class clearly by itself! No more Nike for this elite runner.

Great spike. Used it a couple of times during my xc season. It got used in a couple of track workouts 1 5k race, 5k time trial on the WA state course, and a few track time trials. I wouldn't suggest this spike for cross country, mostly because xc has cement pretty frequently. The 2 xc courses I ran in them had less than 5 meters of cement, But that type of course can be few and far between, also not a lot of support so muddy courses might end badly. But on good firm grass I forget im wearing shoes, they are so light. The durability was a bit of an issue for me, a tear is starting to open up where the upper meets the sole. Though I dont know how the durability is normaly because I got these from my coach, who keeps a large box of tracks spikes, mostly old heavy dull spikes but there were 2 pairs of these that our assistant coach got from a friend. But anyways I got them in july 6 months before they came out so they were a prototype which are only ever size 9 and Im a 10 so i stretched them by putting ziplock bags of water in them and putting them in the freezer. So the durability was probably compromised. But anyways I would recomend these to anyone looking to PR in the 400-10,000 (400 and 800 would be ok for me a lot of people probably would disagree but I like a light, flexible spike instead of sprint spikes)
