Nike Alphafly 3 Premium
Air Zoom units, light foam and a carbon plate power your speed.
Fine-tuned for long-distance speed, the Alphafly 3 Premium 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 finish. This Premium edition helps propel you forward as you conquer the iconic ekiden.
Energy Return for the Ekiden
Two forefoot Air Zoom units combine with ZoomX foam to store and return the energy back to you, powering every step.
Fire Underfoot
A full-length carbon fiber plate delivers a propulsive sensation that helps you smoothly transition through every stride and tackle turns with confidence.
Cushioning Ride
Fully connected ZoomX foam creates an ultralight and cushioned feel, helping you stay fresh and comfortable all the way to the finish line.
What's New?
- Slightly wider carbon fiber plate for increased stability
- ZoomX foam midsole for smoother transitions
- Atomknit upper for improved containment and breathability

Gorgeous shoe. But insanely squeaky to walk in. It’s ridiculous.
Daily Runner’s Nightmare
PatrickB644900498 - Aug 14, 2025
I’m a men’s size 11, avid runner with 3,670+ miles logged on the Nike Run app. I run 3.5 miles daily at a 7'30” pace. Bought this model in April — it fell apart within a month. Nike replaced them on May 8, and the replacement pair completely came apart in barely 3 months. This wasn’t normal outsole wear — the midsole separated from the upper, exposing the foam. I’ve worn many Nike models and never seen anything fall apart this fast. Definitely not suited for daily runners.
