#ForShoeGeeksOnly: Learning About the NIKE Dragonfly Elite

FOR SHOE GEEKS ONLY

Episode clip: Learning about the NIKE Dragonfly Elite

In the Fall of 2025, RunBlogRun interviewed NIKE PLMs Patrick Richie (Track & Field) and Natalie Kile (Track & Field and Road Racing) on the specialty track & field and cross country racing shoes in the line. The interview took about 90 minutes. We covered the 2026 track & field line, the updates for Spring 2026 and the cross country shoe offering.

We are now taking the shoes, one by one, and providing clips for our readers to focus on some of the fine NIKE specialty products.

We hope that you like them!
