The Full Picture of 'NIKE ALPHAFLY 3', the Shoe that Supported the Astonishing Men's Marathon World Record
Nike, which launched a thick-soled running shoe equipped with a carbon plate in July 2017, has since supported many record updates with its thick-soled shoes. The combination of a thick sole and carbon plate has become the new norm for the shoes chosen by top runners, and other brands have followed suit. This has resulted in the formation of a market referred to as the "super shoe."
In the midst of this, Nike is still leading the scene. At the Chicago Marathon in October 2023, Kelvin Kiptum set a staggering time of 2 hours and 35 seconds, updating the men's marathon world record. The shoes he wore were the 'NIKE ALPHAFLY 3', announced on January 4th. What kind of shoes are they?
Shoes for the Comfort & Speed of a Full Marathon
"The super shoe market was born with the advent of the first Vaporfly. We are proud to have created the first super shoe, but rather than settling there, we are committed to continuous innovation."While the existing Alphafly is a high-performance shoe, we were aware that it wasn't for everyone. We had a high ideal of getting every runner to wear the Alphafly, and we kept thinking about how to achieve that. The Alphafly 3 is a shoe that everyone can feel stable and smooth weight transfer, without compromising performance," said Bret Schoolmeester, Senior Product Director, Nike Running Footwear.
