These shoes excel as race-day performers, praised for exceptional comfort, lightweight construction, and responsive energy return that helps runners achieve personal bests. The carbon plate and cushioning deliver a bouncy, propulsive feel ideal for marathons and long distances. Sizing runs small—going up half to a full size is recommended, especially for wider feet. Feedback notes squeaking during initial wear that typically subsides, and durability concerns appear in roughly 15% of reviews, below the threshold for major concern but worth noting for heavy training use.

The Nike Alphafly 3’s are my favorite running shoe. This makes my fourth pair. A very responsive running shoe which fits my narrow feet.

Awesome shoe!
Stable, enough bounce, nice color, good toe space, good laces, and awesome race sneakers!

Great for a day or 2
Love it in terms of day 1 comfort but works horrendously as a walking sneaker bc of its horrible life span… 50-60 miles of use and literal chunks were missing from the bottom from the outside wear n tear.

Wish they were better quality
I was really starting to like these shoes despite the loud squeaking and my toes were finally adjusted to the tight toe bed, but I realized today that my back outer sole is ripped and I’ve only had them for 2-3 weeks. I’m sad because this was the last chance I was giving Nike running as I’ve tried every other shoe and haven’t been satisfied in one way or another. Hoping something new is released that will work well but for now I’m moving on elsewhere.

Fast!
Wow! I put these on and ran the fastest 8 mile tempo run! They made more noise than I am use to, but what a great trade off for the speed I gained. I shaved roughly 30-40 seconds per mile off my time!
