The Nike Alphafly 3 is an elite carbon plate running shoe engineered for maximum speed, marathon performance, and long-distance racing efficiency. Designed for professional athletes and serious runners, this next-generation Nike racing shoe combines ultra-lightweight construction, responsive cushioning, and advanced propulsion technology to help runners push their limits.
Built with Nike ZoomX foam, the Alphafly 3 delivers exceptional energy return, soft cushioning, and lightweight comfort, making it ideal for marathons, half marathons, and competitive road races.

A full-length carbon fiber Flyplate works with the foam and Air Zoom system to enhance running efficiency, stride stability, and speed optimization, helping runners maintain a faster pace for longer distances. The updated Atomknit upper ensures breathability, adaptive support, and a secure race-ready fit, while reducing overall weight for improved race-day performance.
