No, it's not a running shoe. Nike Air Zoom is a cushioning system designed for speed and agility. This technology uses pressurized air and tightly stretched fibers to help absorb impact. While there are Nike Air Zoom running shoes, the technology is also featured in a range of Nike footwear.

The outsole of the Zoom Fly is built for racing. The front half of the trainer is covered in rubber, and the heel has some rubber strategically placed. This outsole is relatively smooth. I enjoyed pairing the Zoom Fly with the Vaporfly 4% for my training.

Every pair of authentic Nike shoes comes with an SKU number that is identical to the SKU number on their box. If the numbers are missing or do not match, they are likely fakes. Check the tongue label. Often, fake Nike manufacturers put outdated sizing labels on the inside of the shoe.
