The shoe's conception stems from celebrating Kipchoge's groundbreaking performance at the 2003 IAAF World Championships in Paris, where he secured his first world gold medal in the 5000m. The design pays homage to the spikes Kipchoge wore during that historic race, embedding the legacy of a champion.
Engineered for peak performance, the Zoom Fly 5 'Eliud Kipchoge' serves multiple purposes, from road racing to daily training.

The inclusion of recycled ZoomX foam underscores its commitment to both performance and sustainability.
The Zoom Fly 5 'Eliud Kipchoge' is inextricably linked to the legacy of Eliud Kipchoge, a figure who transcends the sport.
