This shoe runs great, but started falling apart after only about 20 miles (see picture) that was 20 miles on the road. I’m not sure that I would buy another pair.

Mother. Runner. Champion.
Faith’s status in each realm is represented throughout. Blurred, radiating movement graphics on the lace tips and tissue paper symbolize Faith’s record-smashing speed. On the box, a larger green Swoosh logo represents motherhood while the smaller red Swoosh logo honors her daughter. The colors 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 mold her into the great she is today. Her initials double as her goal to be “Fastest Known.”

Comfortable and a good ride, but falls apart

Great Shoe / Poor Manufacturing
JamesS223451825 - Nov 20, 2025
I bought these at the start of the year explicitly for races. 7 wears in (approx. 115k) and the heal grips started to peel off and a crack appeared in the sole beneath the forefoot. Unsure as to whether this was a fault with this specific pair but very disappointing given the price point. I actually really love them and the ride is great but I wouldn't buy another pair purely for the way they've been manufactured. Nike were very helpful and provided a full refund. VF4 + Vomero + for the same price!
Great shoe not the most durable
DonavonH404753988 - Nov 18, 2025
Great performance shoe, fit true to size, super lightweight and a tad bit noisy in my experiences. On my 3rd pair and they last about 100 miles before the bottom of the sole start to detach from wear. Great shoes just bought another pair.

Nike Alphafly 3 "Faith Kipyegon"

The Faith Kipyegon Collection
Faith Kipyegon’s path from the red dirt roads of Kenya to becoming a world record-breaking champion is a story of resilience, speed, and heart. This collection celebrates every stride—not just her wins, but her commitment to pushing boundaries for women in sport. Faith runs not only to break records, but to lift others up along the way.

Unstoppable Color
Faith’s favorite color, purple, defines the collection—symbolizing the passion, pride, and purpose that fuel her stride. Blended with bold magenta and soft pinks, the palette reflects the unstoppable speed she brings to every race.

Heritage Hues
Purple is joined by red, green, and black—colors that nod to the Kenyan flag and Faith’s roots. Her love for running began as a young girl racing to and from school in her village. That early joy has evolved into a fierce drive to redefine the sport, now sharpened alongside fellow elite runners at the Global Sports Communication Camp in Kenya.
