I ran 80 miles in the Nike Alphafly 3 and Nike’s record-breaking racing shoe didn’t disappoint

Nike Alphafly 3 running shoe.

The Nike Alphafly is a shoe with a storied history. Eliud Kipchoge ran the first sub-two hour marathon in the original Nike Alphafly Next%, and set the official marathon world record in the Nike Alphafly Next% 2 at the Berlin Marathon in 2022.

That record was then broken by Kelvin Kiptum at the Chicago Marathon in 2023, and he was wearing the Nike Alphafly 3. It’s a shoe that lives up to the standards set by its predecessors and certainly one of the best carbon plate running shoes.
