Nike Alphafly 3 Road Racing Shoes

Running 26.2 miles is a lot different than tackling your local charity 5K. To accommodate the needs of marathon runners, Nike created the Alphafly line, now in its third generation. It employs two types of Zoom cushioning — a high-stack ZoomX foam midsole that encourages a smooth transition and Air Zoom units in the forefoot for an energy return boost. A wide, full-length carbon fiber Flyplate improves forward propulsion, and the breathable Atomknit 3.0 upper is paired with a lacing system designed with racer input to enhance comfort.
