One of the best marathon running shoes. I used it for my 20-mile long run. My legs still felt fresh afterwards.

Nike Alphafly 3 'Faith Kipyegon'
$400
Faith Kipyegon's journey has redefined greatness, from running barefoot in Kenya to becoming a globally recognised middle-distance runner and world-record holder. This collection celebrates her journey, and empowers runners worldwide to redefine what greatness looks like. This special Alphafly 3 reflects Faith's unparalleled speed, her Kenyan heritage, and her personal life as both a mother and a world-class athlete, blending cutting-edge performance innovations with meaningful storytelling.
Mother. Runner. Champion.
Faith's status in each realm is represented throughout. Blurred, radiating movement graphics on the lace tips and tissue paper symbolise Faith's record-smashing speed. On the box, a larger green Swoosh logo represents motherhood, while the smaller red Swoosh logo honours her daughter. The colours can also be seen on her custom bracelet, which also pay homage to Kenya and her love of country.
From humble beginnings to "fastest known"
The sockliners are embedded with a graphic of Faith's bare feet as a nod to the humble beginnings that helped mould her into the great she is today. Her initials double as her goal to be "fastest known".
Energy return for your marathon
Two forefoot Air Zoom units combine with ZoomX foam to store and return the energy back to you, powering every step.
Propulsive feeling
A full-length carbon-fibre plate delivers a propulsive sensation that helps you smoothly transition through every stride and tackle turns with confidence.
Cushioned ride
Fully connected ZoomX foam creates an ultralight and cushioned feel, helping you stay fresh and comfortable from mile 1 to 26.2.
What's new about the Alphafly 3?
The Alphafly 3 is our lightest Alphafly ever, featuring a slightly wider carbon-fibre plate for increased stability, a fully connected ZoomX foam midsole for smoother transitions and an all-new AtomKnit upper designed for improved multi-directional containment and breathability.

Top notch. A great shoe.

Squeaky!
Mackenna354de272c4524238a82bdbed95db5370 - 18 Jul 2025
I just got my shoes, so far they are pretty comfortable. I normally wear a size 9, but I got a 9 1/2 just in case and I’m glad I did. The only issue I have is. They are very squeaky when I walk but hopefully that goes away overtime
Parts of the soles are coming away!

These trainers are very comfortable to run in, and I like them, but they're falling apart. I purchased these shoes in April and part of the soles were coming away within two months. I run regularly, but I think they should be able to support regular runners. I had a pair of Saucony running shoes for years, and they had no issues. I tried to get trendy running shoes, and look what happened to me. 😣 😭
