Nike Alphafly 3 Reviews

They ran in the Alphafly 3 on demo runs and found it truly great even at a slow pace, very soft and bouncy, which they like.

Dislikes the noise but finds the Alphafly 3's energy return and cushioning clear advantages.

After a 10K tempo, a 3:51 marathoner calls the Alphafly 3 a game changer: true to size, roomy for bunions, no heel slip, very light and springy.

'The Return of the King.' Comfortable, light, fast and bouncy, everything a race-day shoe should be. One tester puts it as 'this shoe and the rest'. Another also likes rivals but rates it uniquely. The previous version had twisted one tester's knee; this one fixes the platform.

A 47-year-old set a 5K PR in the Alphafly 3 at a lower heart rate: super comfortable, bouncy, no arch issues, surpassing the Vaporfly 3.

A slow runner gifted the Alphafly 3 Proto set a 2:12 half marathon PB in it: true to size, snug, very responsive, though walking in them feels weird.

At 190 miles, a runner's Alphafly 3 is still very poppy with surprisingly durable outsole, unlike their Vaporfly 1.

A heavier mid-pack PXS fan ran 15 miles in the Alphafly 3 with no arch issues; it felt like a bouncier, more stable Vaporfly 3 with smooth transitions.

On an 8.5 km interval run, a 1:41 half marathoner found the Alphafly 3 awkward slow but great fast, with lower heart rate than the EP3, crazy light, and no heel slip.
