Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next% - Green - UK 12

The Air Zoom pods are designed to provide highly responsive cushioning and exceptional energy return, making your stride feel more efficient and springy.

The carbon fiber plate acts as a stiffening agent, promoting forward momentum and providing a propulsive sensation with each step, especially during toe-off.

While durable, the Alphafly Next% is optimized for racing. For daily mileage, it is generally recommended to use shoes designed for higher volume training to preserve the advanced technologies of the racing shoe.

ZoomX is Nike's lightest and most responsive foam, offering the highest energy return compared to other foam compounds.

Racing shoes are typically designed for peak performance over a shorter lifespan than training shoes. Expect optimal performance for approximately 100-300 miles, after which the responsiveness may diminish.

The Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next% was developed in collaboration with marathon world record holder Eliud Kipchoge.

The carbon plate and ZoomX foam require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs or walk around in them to gradually adapt the shoe to your foot.

Ensure you have the correct size and that the laces are tied appropriately, not too tight or too loose. If discomfort persists, consult a running shoe specialist.

Keep the shoes clean and dry. Significant wear and tear can affect performance. Consider replacing after a typical mileage range for racing shoes (often 100-300 miles).

Inspect shoes regularly for any visible damage. If a pod appears compromised, discontinue use as it may affect cushioning and stability.
