I jumped in a meet last Saturday, and they felt pretty good, but I NH'd, so I didn't get that many jumps in them. I hardly ever get to practice anymore, but I am going to take them to Europe and play around with them a little more.

I would recommend them for anyone who needs more support in a spike, or who has to long/triple jump in addition to vaulting. I long jumped in my PV Lites and they are super dirty now.

At Nike Indoor they said January 1st!

And they won't be called PV Lites. They were calling them PV Durable, but I don't know if that will be the actual name.

ahh ok, thanks becca, haha i think the name pv durable would only be to make everyone say ok they are more durable than the first, but they shouldn't name them that. haha pv lites 2 would be fine with me. durable sounds funny.

I have ahd two pairs of the lites. The spike plate never cracked on mine, BUT all three of my team mate's did. The nike swooshs came un-embroidered within the first weeks of having them.... Then the velcro strip (not the flap) ripped off the shoe.

The new ones look hot... All in all i think nike stuff isn't made all that well, but i do enjoy their products.
