Yes, those are spikes in my hokaoneone flats! Combine that with a carbon fiber plate and a little bit of cushion and these hybrids are the PERFECT workout shoe. Probably one of my favorites in the inventory and they guided me to a great session today of 4 x 600 + 3 x 300. Got my rhythm back! Gearing up for the sirwaltermiler next weekend in Raleigh, North Carolina! #HOKAONEONE #NJNYTC #miler2015 #sirwaltermiler #tracknation #flotrack
