Our experts have reviewed the Nike Air Zoom Alphafly 3 and describe it as "being the reigning king or queen of distance performance shoes. Other brands are closing the gap, but runners are discovering the versatility of this tried and proven performance shoe. The extra bulk of the Alphafly 3 creates more stability with wider contact with the ground, especially the heel, compared to lots of plated race shoes such as the Vaporfly. This stability creates a sense of security, comfort and reduces knee, shin and ankle pains with many runners. Athletes are using this more and more for shorter running, not just the half and full marathon. The cushioning and stability feels great, while still being light weight and fast. This shoe is perfect for race day and shaving seconds or minutes off to achieve your goal time."
Fine-tuned for marathon speed, the Alphafly 3 helps push you beyond what you thought possible. Three innovative technologies power your run: a double dose of Air Zoom units helps launch you into your next step; a full-length carbon-fibre plate helps propel you forwards with ease; and a heel-to-toe ZoomX foam midsole helps keep you fresh from start to 26.2.
