Fine-tuned for marathon speed, the Alphafly 3 helps you push beyond what you thought possible with three innovative technologies.

A slightly wider carbon fiber Flyplate gives you a propulsive and stable feel with each step and turn.

The Atomknit upper offers lightweight containment and breathability.

What Reviewers Say
Lightweight and responsive, these shoes deliver noticeable speed gains and energy return that runners praise for races and hard workouts. The cushioning feels bouncy yet supportive, helping reduce fatigue during long distances. Size up half a size—fit runs snug, especially in the toe box. Note that the carbon plate design can trap rocks on certain surfaces, and the shoes produce a squeaking sound when walking.
