Description
The Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next% 3 is tuned to the speed of a marathon.
It’s built for competition and long-distance road racing, so you can push your limits—and then go beyond them.
If you want a race-day shoe that feels fast, responsive, and efficient over 42.2 km, Alphafly 3 is made for that mission.
Three Technologies Power Every Step
First, two Air Zoom units in the forefoot help you take the next step with extra pop.
They store and release energy, so you feel more power when you push off.
Next, a full-length carbon fiber plate gives you forward drive.
Because the plate supports smooth rolling transitions, it helps you move efficiently and stay confident through turns.
Finally, ZoomX foam from heel to toe keeps the ride cushioned and fresh, mile after mile.
As a result, you get a lightweight, energetic feel that stays comfortable from the start line to the finish.
What’s New on Alphafly 3
Nike updates the details while keeping the familiar design language.
The Alphafly 3 is described as the lightest Alphafly ever, and it also uses a slightly wider carbon fiber plate for added stability.
In addition, a fully bonded ZoomX foam midsole aims to deliver smoother, softer transitions.
The upper switches to a new Atomknit construction, which improves multi-directional cushioning and breathability.
Textured laces provide a reliable grip, while an integrated knitted tab with soft padding reduces lace pressure for better comfort.
Built for Race Day (and PR Attempts)
So if you’re targeting a marathon, half marathon, or fast long run, Alphafly 3 gives you energy return, forward drive, and cushioned efficiency in one package.
