Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next 3% W Fuchsia Glow

Fuchsia Glow is a deep pink that holds its intensity in flat light, which is more than can be said for most bright race shoes. This is the women's Alphafly 3, built on a narrower last with a closer heel fit. The upper is thin enough that you can see the structure underneath it, and light enough to forget about.

It is a marathon shoe and behaves like one. The tall ZoomX platform softens the repetition of a long road race, and the carbon plate with forefoot air units keeps the stride turning over when form starts to go. Below tempo pace the shoe feels like a good deal more than you need, so keep it for the fast days.
