Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next 3% FP Blueprint W

The Blueprint treatment strips the Alphafly 3 back to a technical drawing: a pale base, sketch-like linework and exposed detail across the upper. This is the women's version, cut on a narrower last with a closer heel. It is one of the more interesting Fast Pack finishes Nike has put on the model, and it holds up well in person.

Function is unaffected by the graphics. ZoomX foam, forefoot Air Zoom pods and a full-length carbon plate make this a marathon racer, and a fairly single-minded one. It works best for women building towards a specific road race, with easy mileage handled by a cushioned trainer instead, so the foam is fresh when the race arrives.

Good to know

• True to size. The fit is close at the arch, which is intentional on a plated racer.
• Brand new, shipped in its original box.
