The shoe on the foot of the great Eliud Kipchoge when he became the first man to break the 2-hour marathon barrier, the Alphafly NEXT%’s signature performance innovation is its exemplary energy return. This is handled by the ZoomX foam midsole’s unique cushioning setup: a full-foot carbon fiber Flyplate and two Zoom Air pucks under the forefoot, which combine to propel the wearer into their next stride.
Midsoles are undeniably sizable in stature as well, with an ultra-high 39.5mm-45mm stack height that’s up to a full 8mm higher than the ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT%. Uppers are built of feather-light Atomknit, a printed evolution of Flyknit, and the entire assemblage is dressed in a striking black and green colorway with a giant Swoosh stretching across the upper.
Interested parties with a NikePlus membership (which is free to sign up for) will be able to purchase the Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% via the Nike webstore on June 2. A full retail rollout will follow on July 2, and the MSRP is set at $250 USD.
Nike Run Club“I think it will be part of my legacy. I’ve been giving my honest feedback for the last six years. I ran 14 marathons and I used 11 different shoes. It’s a long journey, and I need to leave a mark.” - @kipchogeeliud ⠀ Introducing the Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% and Aeroswift racing apparel. The future of fast is here.
