Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next 3% W Eliud Kipchoge

The women's cut of the Kipchoge Alphafly 3 keeps the same colour story on a last shaped for a narrower heel and a lower instep. That matters more than it sounds on a super shoe, because a heel that slips wastes the energy the plate is there to give back. The fit is snug, lightly padded and deliberately minimal.

Think of it as a race-day shoe and little else. The ZoomX midsole and Air Zoom pods sit around a carbon plate that prefers a rhythm you can hold, so it suits a marathon build where you already know your target pace. Log the long easy runs elsewhere and bring this out for the goal race and the sessions before it.
