Nike Alphafly 3 Running Shoe - Men's White/Black-Hyper Turq-Concord, 9.0

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""The Alphafly 3 feels like rocket fuel for my stride. The carbon plate and Air Zoom pods give me that snappy pop, while the ZoomX foam keeps me cushioned for the long miles. It’s surprisingly stable for such a fast shoe, and lighter than the last version—perfect for chasing PRs."" The Nike Alphafly 3 Running Shoe is engineered for breaking barriers and setting new records. Purpose-built for marathons, this shoe combines three cutting-edge technologies for a ride that feels both fast and efficient from start to finish. Dual forefoot Air Zoom units deliver explosive energy return, a full-length carbon fiber plate propels each stride, and a continuous ZoomX foam midsole cushions without compromise—keeping us fresh from mile one through the finish line. Compared to its predecessors, the Alphafly 3 shaves weight to become the lightest Alphafly ever, while widening the carbon plate for improved stability and connecting the ZoomX midsole for smoother transitions. An Atomknit upper enhances containment and breathability, ensuring a secure and airy fit on race day. With a propulsive ride, responsive cushioning, and a race-ready design fine-tuned for marathon performance, the Alphafly 3 is a speed-focused tool that empowers us to chase personal bests with confidence."
