The Nike Alphafly 3 is the best version yet of the genre-birthing super shoe. Where the Alphafly 2 sported extreme cut-outs, the latest version closes the gaps to secure a wider carbon plate inside the fully connected ZoomX foam midsole. Even with the increased carbon under-foot the Nike Alphafly 3 is able to be lighter than the previous version—clocking in at a mere 174g in the women's version.

This comes in-part thanks to the revised AtomKnit uppers and more refined Air Zoom forefoot units, along with the ever-tweaked contoured ZoomX cushioning under-foot. If history has shown us anything, the new AlphaFly is likely to power athletes to ever-greater heights in the pursuit of absolute speed. It is also a prime candidate for eyecatching colourways such as this glam edition, resplendent in sharp neons.
