Our opinion on the Nike Zoom Mamba 6:
The Nike Zoom Mamba 6 is now a product overshadowed by its bigger brother, the ZoomX Dragonfly, but it is more affordable. Its slightly thinner sole gives you more connection with the trail. Its 5 cleats are fully sufficient for middle-distance events. It's a good compromise between 'old-style' and ‘next-generation' cleats.
