Nike Rival Fly 4 Review

Nike’s Entry-Level Race Shoes

Welcome to my review of the Nike Rival Fly 4. Firstly, I would like to say I bought these shoes with my own money, so there’s no outside influence keeping me from giving you an impartial review.

Price: $100.00 / ¥11,000
Weight: 258 g/9.1 oz (Men’s US 10)
Heel Height: 30 mm
Forefoot Height: 22 mm

The Purpose

This shoe is a perfect fit (no pun intended) for my location in Tokyo, Japan. It’s inspired by Japanese ekiden relay racing and runners. It’s a no-frills race shoe.

The Price

At $100.00, I’d call these Nike’s entry-level race shoes. They would be suitable for teens running cross-country or parents on a lower budget who need to buy running shoes for their kids’ sports.
