The Nike Alphafly 3 Road Running Shoes are designed around marathon pacing, combining two propulsive Air Zoom units with a carbon fiber Flyplate that stores and returns energy with each step. Paired with a ZoomX foam midsole, the shoe delivers a fresh, responsive ride from the first mile to the finish line.

Nike SB Zoom Nyjah 4
Sending it while chasing perfection has long defined Nyjah Huston's approach to skateboarding. The Nike Zoom Nyjah 4 builds on that mindset, reengineering the silhouette while maintaining the flexibility, grip, and responsiveness required for everything from halfpipes to rail grinds. A synthetic mesh upper with strategic perforations replaces the original Nyjah's construction, paired with a classic tongue for lightweight breathability. Reinforced with HART (High Abrasion Rubber Tech) outsoles, cushioned by an Air Zoom midsole, and stabilized with an integrated TPU heel, the Nyjah 4 refines the line's core design language while maximizing performance, durability, and control across any terrain.
