Nike Alphafly 3 Proto - Half marathon test run 

Won’t buy another Nike race shoe until they make them last longer

A good race day shoe shouldn't last a long time They go fast for race day, hence their name Every brands fast shoes don't last very long, it's not just nikes

@@jabberjay5749 don’t agree, adidas is putting out products that last twice as long, so is Saucony, Asics, etc. nike has lost its durability in the Q&A process. Sure its a fast shoe but I can buy a fast shoe that lasts twice as long.

​@dextersuarez9948 that's like expecting soft tires in f1 to last the whole race.

Jaja en argentina están más caras 😂😂

Looks cheap and looks liek gone break

​@@stephendejesus8497😭😭😭 it costs 345$

I’ve been running in my Nike React Infinity Run 4 $160-$180 for a good time. They’re still good. I suggest doing a shoe rotation

You are right on with that take!

An entire size up? Are they actually that tight? Is it just in the width of the shoe or in the toe area that they run small?

Work on your ankle strength. I have no problems with them. It’s your weak ankles.

Тебе снизу правильно написали. Проблема не в них

@@samforo ну да ну да, а в твоих кривых ногах.

@@gazzbet7273 так это у тебя кривые. Тебе ж поддержки мало . Купи сапоги резиновые. Там достаточно

Nope these shoes are lliteral nightmare for heel strikers. You’re right about the durability though, not meant for training sessions.

If you suffer joint prins try running in low drop shoes like Altra. Your calves will feel sore the first few weeks, but be bulletproof afterwards

Get them and pay monthly payments! :-)

If you are a UK size 10 I would probably avoid for a while 😂

Hi. Thanks for your question. No, the Alphafly 3 are not just for fast runners. However, they are likely to provide the most help and benefits when you’re trying to run faster. When we say ‘faster’ here, we mean what’s relative to you. This is because the midsole geometry should help improve your running economy and make running faster more sustainable. Nike tested the AF3 with a wide range of running abilities: elites to 4 hour to 5 hour marathon runners. In our opinion, as long as you’re running from start to finish in an event, the AF3 should help you get to the finish line with more ease. Finally, it’s worth noting that runners respond differently to super shoes and we can’t draw blanket conclusions. Two runners, who are very similarly paced, are very likely to experience varying changes in running economy in super shoes. This will probably be the case with the AF3. This statement is also not exclusive to a certain pace of runner. You would expect to see variances across a range of paces. In summary, the AF3 can help runners over a wide range of paces. They’re not necessarily just for running fast, but hopefully they’ll help you achieve some quicker times - if that’s your goal.

@@run4it Thank you for your detailed explanation.🙏👍🫶

Hi - I use the Nike Spark Lightweight Running Socks. They're very breathable and feel extremely light. The only point to note is that they're not overly cushioned and are pretty thin.

Yeah, the spark seems good. I got the matching volt color for the new AF3. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Mine looks great 500 miles in. Just got to run properly on the forefoot

​@@davidh5429"properly" for you isn't necessarily "properly" for someone else

Did 900km in my first pair of 2s. The heel didn’t go, the AirPod did. At 583km in my second pair and counting

We wouldn't recommend using the for daily use. The midsole is designed for your fast paced runs and racing. As a result, they're not as durable as daily mileage running shoes.

😂 no they’re not. We actually talk about the noise in the main review. We suspect the continuous midsole geometry has had an effect here, as the AF3 are a lot quieter than the previous versions. The lower noise level is potentially down to the smoother transitions. The previous editions definitley make a distinct noise.

@run4it glad to hear it 😁 Quite fancy upgrading to a pair, used Endorphin Pro 3s for my marathons this year, but think the Alphaflys might help be get under 3hrs 🤞

@@alangray8952 the Endorphin Pro are certainly brilliant shoes and are great for marathons. I’d expect you’ll find the AF3 do feel more propulsive at race pace though. Everyone is different, and we’ll each respond in our own way to super shoes. However, I’ve never run in anything that feels as fast as the AF3 - they really are something else. All the best with your running and good luck with the sub 3.

No they're not.

Hi. The ankle collar fits very well, so I didn't experience any heel slippage. This was also the case when I raced a marathon in them.

How?? These are great racing shoes

@@Jhinderliter best shoes for Rubi and training must be as flat to the ground with straight sole. Otherwise it’s become dangerous to the feet, you can harm your ankle or worse during those activities.!

@@misssunshine7650 for training yes, they you need a more neutral shoe with flatter sole. But for races, these shoes do not hurt ur ankles and they put you more on your toes. These are a race and workout specific shoe. Daily mileage in any carbon plated or super shoe is dangerous. They aren’t built for training

The stack height is 40 mm at the heel and 32 mm at the forefoot. However, there are running shoes that have even thicker midsoles, and are therefore not World Athletics approved.

The foam is very soft, but they actually feel very stable underfoot. You have to check your pace slightly around tight corners, but it doesn't feel like your ankle will roll.

In your dreams . I think you have watched some fake alphafly 3 videos . Using my pair constantly for 5 month . No issue . 4 hours of continuous daily running ( 2 hr morning + 2hr evening ) and 3 hours of walking. And feels like brand new .

$275

Usually the marathon winners come from third world countries. What are you talking about?

@@Iamjordanmartins I'm making the point that a running is supposed to measure who is the best runner. Not who has the best equipment. Otherwise it might as well be formula 1.

@@Food4thought2023 the best athletes have the best trainers, the best diets, the best equipment, the best everything. These are available to the public..it’s not like some people can get these and some can not. Some people can’t afford them and that’s okay, go get a trainer and do a marathon. But chances area if you can’t afford 300 on shoes, you aren’t running a sub 2:08 marathon. That’s how running always has been. The best shoes on the best athletes, with the best training win.

Hi - they should fit the same as your normal Nike Running Shoes size. So yes, they fit true to size.

Hi. The running pants are the Nike Dri-FIT ADV AeroSwift Racing Trousers. The socks are the Nike Spark Lightweight Running Ankle Socks.

@@run4it Thank you
