Nike Alphafly 3 Premium International Running

Borrowing its graphics from Nike's International Running archive, this premium Alphafly 3 mixes retro typography with a thoroughly modern racing platform. The upper is the same light engineered weave used across the line, and the midsole keeps the full ZoomX volume, the twin forefoot Air Zoom pods and the carbon plate that holds the whole shape together.

It is a shoe for the days you have circled on the calendar. The ride is springy rather than plush, and it rewards runners who can hold a steady effort for the length of a half or a full marathon. Many owners rotate it with a daily trainer and keep these for race weeks and sharpening work.
