Nike's pinnacle racer continues to set the marathon scene alight. The most technologically advanced runner from the Swoosh, the Alphafly 3 is build to go faster than ever before.

Where the Alphafly 2 sported extreme cut-outs, the latest version closes the gaps to secure a wider carbon plate inside the fully connected ZoomX foam midsole. Even with the increased carbon under-foot the Alphafly 3 is able to be lighter than the previous version—clocking in at a mere 174g in the men's version.

This comes in-part thanks to the revised AtomKnit uppers and more refined Air Zoom forefoot units, along with the ever-tweaked contoured ZoomX cushioning under-foot. If history has shown us anything, new AlphaFly is likely to power athletes to ever-greater heights in the pursuit of absolute speed.
