Nike Alphafly 3

$295

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.

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 fiber 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 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.

  • Great for speed work, maybe not the most stable for over pronators

    MeganS288931776 - Aug 24, 2025

    I love these shoes for speed work. The first time I ran a 5K in these I beat my personal best by a few minutes. Very impressive. It feels like you are running effortlessly - like little clouds are floating your feet back into the air for the next stride! However, I have tried these on longer distances and they just don’t work for me. I’m an over pronator and need more stability, and I kind of had a feeling these wouldn’t work for that going into buying them. I do not regret buying them though, I love how fast they make me feel for shorter distances! But if you over pronate and are thinking these shoes will be good for marathon training, I might have a backup shoe just in case. I sized up a half size in these and am glad I did, they are still a little tight in the toe box.

  • Sole is damaged in 1 half marathon.

    I used it for 1 half marathon and the soles are damaged already.

  • Great comfort, squeaky shoe

    mrakira415 - Aug 20, 2025

    These are super comfortable and I love the look. The only reason I took off one star is because they are noisy running shoes. I get a little squeak I think from the zoom air bag in the front of the shoe. I had the same issue with my 2023 Nike Tempos I was replacing with these. I love the upper, but I think I’m going to skip the air bag on my next running shoe.
