Nike Alphafly 3 Road Racing Shoes

Nike's premium race-day platform for half marathons and marathons.

When you're chasing a half-marathon or marathon goal, the Nike Alphafly 3 brings together three of Nike's highest-performance running technologies: responsive ZoomX foam, two forefoot Air Zoom units, and a full-length carbon fiber Flyplate.

The Alphafly 3 is Nike's lightest Alphafly to date. A fully connected ZoomX midsole creates smoother transitions through the stride, while a wider carbon fiber Flyplate provides a combination of propulsion and stability. Two Air Zoom units beneath the forefoot add another layer of responsiveness for long-distance racing.

The result is a highly responsive carbon-plated marathon racing shoe designed specifically for going fast over long distances.

Why You'll Love the Nike Alphafly 3

Two Forefoot Air Zoom Units

Two Air Zoom units positioned beneath the forefoot compress and rebound as you run, helping return energy with each step and contributing to the Alphafly's distinctive responsive feel.

Full-Length ZoomX Cushioning

Nike's lightweight ZoomX foam runs through a fully connected midsole. This construction is designed to provide responsive cushioning while creating smoother heel-to-toe transitions throughout your race.

Full-Length Carbon Fiber Flyplate

A tuned carbon fiber Flyplate runs the length of the shoe. Nike made the plate slightly wider in the Alphafly 3 to improve stability while maintaining the propulsive sensation expected from a premium carbon-plated racing shoe.

Lightweight Atomknit Upper

Nike's Atomknit upper helps keep weight down while providing breathable, multidirectional containment around the foot. Soft yarns help maintain comfort during longer races.

Race-Day Fit Details

Notched laces help create a secure fit while reducing pressure, and an integrated knit tongue includes strategically placed padding to help reduce lace pressure across the top of the foot.

Lightweight Road Traction

The Alphafly 3 uses a weight-conscious outsole designed to provide multidirectional traction for road racing.
