Expert Review Sources

  • RunRepeat : 90.6 / 100 — « The Nike Dragonfly 2 Elite is a faster and lighter version of the regular model. It feels quicker, more responsive, and is perfect for breaking personal bests in long-distance track events. However, this speed comes with some downsides. The retail price is higher than the standard version, the ride might feel too stiff for some runners, and since the pins can’t be replaced, we think that durability is a real concern. But if you want a long-distance spike with a stack of medals, this is the one. »
  • RoadTrailRun : 88.8 / 100 — « Across our track & cross-country testing on track, the Nike Dragonfly 2 Elite handles pace changes effortlessly thanks to a locked-in midfoot wrap and 129 g build. Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for track & cross-country training. »
  • RunMag : 88.8 / 100 — « In Nike's track & cross-country lineup, the Dragonfly 2 Elite delivers a smooth, dependable ride powered by its Nike proprietary foam midsole. Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for track & cross-country training. »
