Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next% 3 Sail Crimson Tint

Engineered for elite performance, the Air Zoom Alphafly Next% 3 is purpose-built for competitive marathon racing and long-distance events. The design prioritizes maximizing speed and efficiency, providing unparalleled energy return and responsiveness. Its construction, from the Atomknit upper to the strategically placed rubber outsole, supports both the runner's speed and endurance. The shoe's focus remains on helping athletes achieve peak performance during races.

The impact of the Alphafly series is undeniable, most notably demonstrated by Kelvin Kiptum's record-breaking performance in Chicago on October 8, 2023, where he shattered the marathon world record. Sifan Hassan, also in Chicago, achieved the second-fastest women's marathon time ever. The series' influence extends to Eliud Kipchoge, whose sub-2-hour marathon attempt in Vienna, Austria, in October 2019, showcased the shoe's groundbreaking potential. The Alphafly 3's influence is cemented as a 'super shoe' and has revolutionized marathon running.

The upper, meticulously crafted from Atomknit 3.0, ensures a lightweight, breathable, and secure fit, offering multi-directional containment. The shoe incorporates a full-length carbon fiber Flyplate, widened for enhanced stability, and is cushioned by a full-length ZoomX foam midsole, paired with dual forefoot Air Zoom units. The outsole features a Fast Shot design for optimal traction and durability, ensuring peak performance on race day.
