The Alphafly 3 is a purpose-built marathon racer that leverages ZoomX foam, twin Air Zoom pods and a full-length carbon plate to deliver a bouncy, propulsive ride aimed at PR attempts over long road distances. It runs snug in the toe box, so a half-size up is worth considering for race-day comfort over 26.2.
Bouncy yet supportive high-stack ZoomX ride with strong energy return and responsiveness; a squeak when walking is noted and the plate can trap debris on rougher surfaces.
Runs small and snug, especially in the toe box; Nike and reviewers recommend ordering a half size up.
Runners chasing fast half-marathon and marathon times on the road who want maximum cushioning and carbon-plate propulsion.
You want an everyday trainer, a firm low-stack feel, or a wide, roomy toe box.
