It's not like an Altra shoe, where the designers have obviously seen a human foot for themselves, and taken the bold step of designing a shoe appropriately. One intriguing change with the latest iteration of the Streak is that it's shaped a little more like a human foot. The forefoot has slightly raised lugs in the Nike waffle pattern. The outsole covers all the contact patches and provides good grip. It's far from being stiff, and there is a certain degree of springiness at toe off, so some may prefer this new incarnation. The latest version of the Streak is not quite as flexible as its predecessor. There is no noticeable "arch support" that can weaken your arch or cause plantar fascia issues. The 4mm drop is a tad higher than I'd like, but isn't an issue. This combination is makes a well cushioned shoe, with quick bounce back. The Zoom Streak has a small Zoom Air unit in the heel, along with a single foam density over the full shoe.

The updated shape is a little better, and the upper might be fractionally more comfortable, but the two generations are far more alike than they are different.

The third generation is similar to its predecessor, the Nike Zoom Streak LT 2, with virtually the same weight and cushioning was before. The Streak is a relatively cheap shoe, with a recommended price of only $80. I've used the Streak as an everyday trainer for hundreds of miles without ever considering the need for more. The Streak is billed as a 'racing flat', but I consider it an optimal shoe, providing everything most runners need without the weight penalty of the futile over engineering that traditional running shoes suffer from. The Nike Zoom Streak LT 3 is a great shoe, providing good cushioning at a low weight.
