SHOULD YOU BUY THE VAPORFLY 3 or ALPHAFLY 2? | THE BEST NIKE SUPER SHOE in 2023 - EDDBUD
Today a viewer requested video between the top tier NIKE SUPERSHOES, the NIKE ZOOMX VAPORFLY NEXT% 3 and the NIKE AIR ZOOM ALPHAFLY NEXT% 2.
If you can only buy one which is the best in terms of upper, midsole, outsole and value for money?
These are expensive shoes, noth pairs i have bought with my own cash and not a soul is paying to make this video for you.
I have raced in both shoes, and taken them up and over 100km in the VF3 and 130 miles in the AF2.

I really love the Vaporfly 2, but I'd be tempted to try out some of the other brands over the Vaporfly 3/Alphafly 2. It seems for the Alphafly things are always great the second time around. Anyway got to dash, I'm off to visit Auntie Rose in Clacton.

@cityscapes4165 Год назад

Love my Alpha 2s, but definitely agree that it is much more of a “marathon only” type of shoe now. They don’t get much action outside of long runs with marathon efforts and the race itself. Vaporfly 3 is a much more versatile shoe.

@EDDBUD Год назад

You could race any distance in the vf3.

@ChrisKeyman 8 месяцев назад

@EDDBUD what is the differences with the invisible 3 ?

@joewillburn Год назад

In truth, I'd be totally happy if Nike just sold the VF1 all this time. It felt very special.

@EDDBUD Год назад

Yeah it’s never been bettered

@davidh5429 Год назад

Same with the Alphafly V1. It's the Lunaracer all over again. V1 was awesome, it went to V4 which was just terrible.

Good choice!

@atefmahgoub3550 Год назад

Neither of them. Man! I am disappointed in the VF 3; I have narrow feet, and their fit is wicked :/. I still have a few VF 1; I run in them every day

@toasterboy708 Год назад

2 big hitters Mr Bud... But 2 very different beasts for different peeps, and like you say, most are probs better seeking out the previous models.

@EDDBUD Год назад

It’s hard to recommend either with both going for less cash. 👍🏼

@macewindex564 Год назад

Nike stopped trying after the peg turbo 2. I'll stick to adios pro 3

@EDDBUD Год назад

The pro 3 is a great shoe. If you like it try the Adios 8 as it’s similar in fit but less stack.

@TheHutchRuns Год назад

I've got the Alphafly V.1 and had all versions of the Vaporfly, I have to say that, right now, I'd go Alphafly as the Vaporfly 3 hasn't floated my boat as yet (must admit that I've only done around 20 miles in them so far)

@stephenrobinson4449 Год назад

Absolutely loving the VF3 - I didn't enjoy the VFNext 1 or VFNext 2. I did enjoy the VF4%FK though. Everything about the VF3 just suits me so well. I have done a Half, a 5 and a 10k in them and its just sublime. The upper is great also. AF2 I just couldn't manage.

Let's give credit where credit is due. Little Richard got his musical style and looks from Esquerita, r&b singer, songwriter and pianist whom he met on a bus when he was 13. And also Billy Wright known as " Prince Of The Blues " who helped Little Richard get his first record deal. With all that said, he was definitely a trailblazer. He had a huge influence on Jimmy Hendrix, who played in Little Richard's band the Upsetters.

@EDDBUD Год назад

Very true. Love the name of Hendrix band.

Completely opposite for me between the vaporfly and alphafly in every version and every use as well as how feet and body feels after any race at any distance..as you say Edd that's what makes the world go round..as an aside there are better 5k and 10k racing shoes available..

@joewillburn Год назад

Edd, did you watch the Comrades Marathon? Interesting shoe podium. All three men wore the VF3 The women was a mix, first place was the Adios Pro 3, second place was the AF1 and third was the Asics Meta Speed (I think)

@EDDBUD Год назад

Interesting maybe the lighter shoe benefiting the lighter frames?

@heikaltaki Год назад

I’m opting for trail shoe for durability for my training. Shoe would last to a thousand miles for certain models. Only buying race day shoe for the race day to save some.

@EDDBUD Год назад

That’s not a bad option. My routes are a little varied in surface opportunity so always consider it from that point of view anyway

@marathonranati Год назад

It "Really" depends on the runner. People like "Kipchoge" Like "Thic" , and "Chonky" shoes (Alphaflys). But people like mo farah, or "kelvin kiptum" Prefer a more "simple" and Less cushioned design (Vaporflys). so in conclusions... There is no perfect shoe. (Like everything in life... Everything has pros and cons)

@EDDBUD Год назад

There’s even more range than that in terms of non elite runners.

@reggiesanders1284 4 месяца назад

EddBud, love your posts! Very instructive. I’ve found that the Alphaflys run ½ size smaller. True?

@EDDBUD 4 месяца назад

Not all but I read the af3 was a bit short and they were right!

@javiercollell 7 месяцев назад

With the blackfriday I saw the alphafly with a big discount, even cheaper than the new vaporfly for almost 100$, with that in mind should i go with the alpha or vapor

@davidsweeting6876 Год назад

It is interesting the Vaporfly 3 is the more stable shoe, that is the one thing I didn't like about the Vaporfly 2 was how wobbly it felt at a lower pace

@EDDBUD 11 месяцев назад

Yeah the forefoot of the 3 is more stable. But the upper does it no favours.

@mchaydel Год назад

Ed, do you not think that the foams in the Alphafly 1’s are now decreasing in performance due to their age? I am tempted to buy an Alphafly 1 on Stock X, but am worried about decreased performance compared to when the shoe was new. What are your thoughts? Thanks

@EDDBUD Год назад

That’s not a bad shout. Though I have shoe which seem ok over time but I’m careful how I store them. It’s possible zoomx will degrade without use in a box but until we have some hard evidence it’s unclear.

@user-og9nl5mt1b Год назад

Hm can u make a series on fake vs real , cuz these shoes are hella expensive. And there are alot of people who keep telling me fakes are almost as good as the real ones . Like 99 percent good . Like spending 30 dollars vs 200 . Is it really worth it . Fake ultraboost and nike Pegasus vs the real ones . In terms of comfort and just running your average 5km . Nothing excessive .

@i.p2088 Год назад

I see the remarks on the Alphafly V1 and it breaks my heart.. I can't run in the 361. I am a heel striker so I feel like I run in NEGATIVE Drop.. Killing my calfs and Achilles tendon. No problem with the Vaporfly V2.. Tempted by the Alphafly V2 as it has normal drop. ❓

@EDDBUD Год назад

I don’t think there’s much difference in the drop. I think Nike are being a bit “creative” with their measurements.

@deltaventura5207 Год назад

Love the AF2. AF1 did not work for me. Prefer VF1 over VF2. The VF2 gives me heel abrasions. Haven’t tried VF3. In my opinion, the weak spot on AF2 is the bad grip on some surfaces when wet.

@christopheredale9135 10 месяцев назад

For once you are miles out Edd. These 2 shoes are in the top 4 or 5 running shoes ever made according to several semi-pro runners i know. They are 2 hour 20 marathon and sub- 15 minute 5 kms boys. Sorry mate you got this one badly wrong.

@EDDBUD 10 месяцев назад

I disagree. The alphafly 2 is a poor update to what was a great shoe. The speed card is a complete red herring. Do all these people who have bought the shoe and either got on with it or not got on with it run at that speed? No they don’t.

@christopheredale9135 10 месяцев назад

The people i know and all are much faster than me rate the 2 as a great upgrade over the AF1. It sure is. The 8mm drop helps most people. The less severe arch-dig is a great improvement. The extra foam under the air pods mean a smoother ride and transition. The weight difference is virtually zero in a size 9 UK. I am a veteran runner (67) and the AF2 got me to a 1-47 half marathon which was 2 minutes better than my PB. The VF3 have given me a 22-03 park run, which again at 67 means they are pretty good, 57 seconds better than my PB.

@christopheredale9135 10 месяцев назад

The 'Run Testers' guy who is a seriously fast runner got his PB at 2 distances in AF2. There you have it.

@richshelley2922 Год назад

I’m gonna try the Vapor 3 but can’t get a 9.5 anywhere at the moment, I wouldn’t Piss on the alpha 2 if it was on fire absolute brick, the alpha 1 is the greatest shoe every made still using 2 pairs with over 700 miles.
