Nike Alphafly 3 Bright Crimson / Cave Purple Mens

The Nike Alphafly 3 is the shoe built for the moments that define careers — marathon race day. A full ZoomX layer encapsulating dual Zoom Air forefoot pods, a wider carbon plate, and Atomknit upper combine to create the fastest, most technically advanced marathon shoe in the Nike stable. The Bright Crimson colourway makes sure nobody misses you at the front of the pack.

Key Features

• ZoomX Foam + Dual Zoom Air Forefoot Pods: A continuous layer of ZoomX fully encapsulates two Air Zoom pods in the forefoot — the pods provide explosive energy return at toe-off, ZoomX delivers cushioned protection across the full midsole, together creating a ride that's fast and fatigue-resistant.
• Full-Length Carbon Fibre Plate (Wider): A wider plate than the Alphafly 2 offers increased lateral stability at race pace — more confidence when running fast, more consistency across the full 42km.
• Atomknit Upper: Nike's lightweight, multidirectional knit upper delivers exceptional containment and breathability in a minimal package — structured where support is needed, flexible everywhere else.
• 40mm Heel Stack for Marathon Distance: A substantial stack combined with the Air Zoom pods and ZoomX foam creates the cushioning required to protect joints across full marathon and ultra distances.
• 0.9oz Lighter Than Alphafly 2: Meaningful weight reduction through upper redesign and construction refinement — savings that compound significantly over 42 kilometres at race pace.
