Top 10 Nike Uptempo Shoes in White for 2025: Style Meets Comfort

--- First, let me introduce myself. I'm 178 cm tall, weigh 63 kg, and have been training for two and a half years. I'm a national second-class athlete in both the 200m and 400m events, with personal bests of 22.7 (electric timing) in the 200m and 51.07 (electric timing) in the 400m. Now, let's talk about the feel of the shoe. For many people, the first impression of the Maxfly is impressive. The visible Zoom Air cushioning, with just a carbon plate in between, gives you a sensation of being right on top of the cushioning. The responsiveness is excellent, and during mid-race sprints, you can clearly feel the bounce from the Zoom Air under your feet. The heel foam is neither too soft nor too hard, providing a balance that doesn't drain your energy while enhancing the overall comfort during landings. Next, let's address the colorway issue. The black Maxfly has been criticized for having insufficient air pressure, resulting in a less impressive feel. This adjustment by Nike is to extend the lifespan of the Max in this colorway, with the air cushioning shifted backward. Lastly, regarding the target audience, at 178 cm and 138 lbs (slightly lean), I personally don't find this shoe very comfortable. Compared to the Dachan II, I feel that the Dachan II offers me better stability, although it doesn't have the same explosive rebound as the Maxfly. --- lg...More

To be honest, the Maxfly isn't as hard to handle as some people online claim. I run the 100m in 12.03 seconds, and I bought it when I was running around 12.73. I only wear it for intense training sessions and races. Personally, I find the air cushion and carbon plate in this shoe to be really powerful, definitely a performance booster. However, the downsides are that it doesn't last very long and the breathability is just average. The pbex plate underneath is prone to bending, and the carbon plate doesn't last long either, so it can break easily. When I bought this shoe, I was drawn to Nike's performance features. In practice, it's quite good—it provides good propulsion and rebound. Since I'm a power-type runner, the air cushion feels very responsive. I'm also quite satisfied with the design of this shoe. The white parts of the upper can be customized with your favorite colors. The flywire design on the surface makes it easy to clean. The black baseplate is also wider, which is very friendly for curve runners. It's also best to size down by half a size when buying, otherwise, it might slip off your heel. Regarding the air cushion being slightly shifted backward, I don't think it's a big deal. In fact, it makes the landing feedback feel more solid and powerful. Overall, if you have the budget, it's definitely worth getting. But it's best to have decent ankle strength; otherwise, the air cushion might not fully activate, and the feedback won't be as good. Also, thanks to the Maxfly for helping improve my performance. That's all.lg...More
