Eliud Kipchoge, renowned as the world’s leading marathon runner and a pivotal figure in Nike’s groundbreaking Breaking2 initiative, put the new shoe through its paces on a variety of surfaces, including asphalt and dirt roads in his home region of Eldoret, Kenya. In a collaborative effort with Nike, he meticulously assessed the shoe's design, focusing on enhancing its energy return while achieving the perfect balance between comfort and protection. Kipchoge discussed the running model in an official Nike news release, stating:

"This is the shoe runners should choose for their workouts all week long, instead of the ‘super shoes’ some are using for their long runs and fartleks... The redesigned Zoom Fly performs at a high level and is very responsive, with wonderful cushioning from impact and great movement from heel to forefoot."
