Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next 3% Pick up the pace

Pick Up The Pace is one of Nike's message-led Alphafly 3 releases, with text detailing across a bright upper. It is a straightforwardly enjoyable shoe to lace up on a morning when you are racing. The print sits on the same thin, breathable knit construction used throughout the line, so none of the weight goes on decoration.

The mechanics are serious even if the graphic is not. ZoomX foam handles the impact of a long road race, Air Zoom pods under the forefoot add a lift at the end of the stride, and the carbon plate holds everything together. It suits runners who already have a target pace in mind and a race circled on the calendar.
