THE RUNDOWN

The Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% 3 is an elite carbon-plated racing shoe built for maximum speed and efficiency, combining ZoomX foam, Air Zoom units, and a full-length Flyplate for race-day propulsion.


What's new?

Designed as the lightest version yet, with a connected ZoomX foam midsole for smoother transitions, a wider carbon-fiber Flyplate for improved stability, and a new Atomknit 3.0 upper for better breathability for containment.

WHAT MAKES THE ALPHAFLY 3 SO FAST?

Its combination of ZoomX foam, dual Air Zoom units, and a full-length carbon Flyplate creates exceptional energy return and propulsion.

HOW DOES THE ALPHAFLY 3 COMPARE TO THE NIKE VAPORFLY?

The Alphafly offers more cushioning and a more aggressive propulsive feel, while the Vaporfly is lighter and slightly more versatile for shorter race distances.

IS THE ALPHAFLY NEXT% 3 GOOD FOR TRAINING?

It can be used for key speed sessions, but it’s primarily built for racing and peak-effort workouts rather than everyday mileage.
