The Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% 3 Prototype is a elite-level racing shoe designed for marathon runners and speed enthusiasts looking to maximize their energy return. By combining advanced ZoomX foam with a carbon Flyplate, this shoe offers an aggressive, propulsive ride that feels light and responsive on the road; however, its specialized design prioritizes performance over daily durability, making it best reserved for race days and high-intensity speed workouts.

While you can, it is not recommended. The responsive foam and carbon plate are optimized for race-day performance and will wear out significantly faster if used as a daily trainer.
Yes, they generally fit true to size. However, the Atomknit upper has a snug, performance-oriented fit, so consider your preference for sock thickness.
Use a soft brush or a cloth dipped in mild soapy water. Gently wipe the surface and allow it to air dry away from direct heat.
The Flyplate provides longitudinal stiffness, which acts as a lever to help propel the runner forward and increase efficiency during the transition from heel to toe.
No, this is a road-specific racing shoe. The rubber outsole is not designed for the grip or protection required on uneven, rocky, or soft trail terrain.
The Alphafly is designed for high-speed mechanics. If you feel unsteady, transition to a standard training shoe for recovery runs and warm-ups.
Adjust the lacing tension throughout the entire eyelet path rather than just at the top to distribute pressure evenly across the Atomknit material.
Because this is a performance racing shoe, proper care is essential to maintain its structural integrity. Avoid using these shoes for casual walking or standing for long periods, as the compressed foam may degrade prematurely. After wet runs, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. Never machine wash or tumble dry your Alphaflys. Ensure you are wearing your correct size, as the Atomknit upper is designed to fit like a second skin; if you prefer a roomier toe box, ensure you test the fit with your preferred running socks before your first race.
