Features
Race toward your fastest times with the Nike Alphafly 3.
Fine-tuned for race day speed, this shoe brings together dual Air Zoom units, a full-length carbon fiber Flyplate and ultralight ZoomX foam to help you push beyond what you thought possible from mile one to 26.2. As the lightest Alphafly ever made, every detail has been refined to give you a propulsive, stable ride when your biggest goals are on the line.
Details:
- Upper: The improved multidirectional containment and breathability keep your feet secure and comfortable throughout your race. The integrated knit tongue with lofted padding alleviates lace pressure, while notched laces offer a secure but soft lockdown that stays comfortable over the long haul.
- Midsole: Ultralight ZoomX foam is fully connected to the outsole for smoother transitions and optimized responsiveness from start to finish. Two Air Zoom units in the forefoot store and return energy with every step, keeping your legs fresher deeper into the race when it matters most.
- Outsole: The slightly wider carbon fiber Flyplate delivers a propulsive, stable feel with each step and turn, giving you confidence to push the pace around corners and through the final miles.
