Marathon Speed for All Runners


All of the best marathon racing shoes have a unique feature that sets them apart from the rest, but none of them embodies uniqueness and innovation quite like the Nike Alphafly 3.

For the first time in the Alphafly series, the midsole now features a continuous bottom layer of ZoomX cushioning that promotes smoother transitions and increased propulsion. Sitting on that bottom layer of foam are the quintenssential staples of the Alphafly, two Air Zoom Units that deliver an explosive toe-off and launch you into your next step. A high stack of ZoomX cushioning makes up the top layer of foam and embedded between the layers of ZoomX is a full-length carbon fiber Flyplate that has been widened to increase stability as well as deliver a more propulsive sensation underfoot. Additionally, the Alphafly 3 has a widened base, which makes it more accommodating for the non-elites who still want to experience the top end speed this shoe brings to the table

The Nike Alphafly 3 continues the legacy established by its predecessors as being a pinnacle marathon racing shoe that is bound to etch its name in the story of your best race.
