Foam issues

The foam in these shoes disintegrated after a single race, prompting concerns about their quality. I encourage Nike to reevaluate and enhance their design and testing protocols for future releases.

Nike Alphafly 3 "Eliud Kipchoge"
Fine-tuned for marathon speed, the Alphafly 3 helps push you beyond what you thought possible. Three innovative technologies power your run: A double dose of Air Zoom units helps launch you into your next step; a full-length carbon fiber plate helps propel you forward with ease; and a heel-to-toe ZoomX foam midsole helps keep you fresh from start to 26.2. Time to leave your old personal records in the dust.
Whenever someone trains with Eliud Kipchoge, they're asked to plant a tree at his base camp to signify their growth. The sockliner graphics mimic that growth with branches moving forward towards the front of the shoe. The red clay color fade nods to the Kenyan dirt that stains the shoes when training. The font is a play on African trees that have fractal-like patterns on the surfaces.
Two forefoot Air Zoom units combine with ZoomX foam to store and return the energy back to you, powering every step.
A full-length carbon fiber plate delivers a propulsive sensation that helps you smoothly transition through every stride and tackle turns with confidence.
Fully connected ZoomX foam creates an ultralight and cushioned feel, helping you stay fresh and comfortable from mile 1 to 26.2.
The Alphafly 3 is our lightest Alphafly ever, featuring a slightly wider carbon fiber plate for increased stability, a fully connected ZoomX foam midsole for smoother transitions and an all-new Atomknit upper designed for improved multidirectional containment and breathability.
Notched laces offer a secure but soft lace-up.

Great fast shoes!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a good shoe, especially if you can find it discounted. It’s not very pleasant at slow paces, but as soon as you pick up the pace (marathon pace and faster), it feels extremely good. The shoe is very well designed and incredibly easy to put on. Everything feels well thought out with the overall product in mind. It almost feels like wearing a slipper.
