Nike Alphafly 3 White / Gridiron / Pure Platinum Mens

The Nike Alphafly 3 in White/Gridiron/Pure Platinum is the clean, classic colourway for the shoe that needs no introduction — Nike's flagship marathon racing platform, combining ZoomX foam, dual Zoom Air pods, a wider carbon plate, and Atomknit upper into the package that elite athletes around the world line up in on race day.

Key Features

• ZoomX Foam + Dual Zoom Air Forefoot Pods: The Alphafly's signature dual-energy system — ZoomX cushions and protects across the full foot, whilst two Air Zoom pods in the forefoot fire energy back with every toe-off — creating an explosive, sustained response across 42 kilometres.
• Wider Full-Length Carbon Fibre Plate: Increased plate width over the Alphafly 2 delivers greater lateral stability during the demanding conditions of full marathon racing — more confidence, more consistency, mile after mile.
• Atomknit Upper: A technical knit upper provides multidirectional containment, outstanding breathability, and a form-fitting race-day feel — disappearing on the foot when it matters most.
• 8mm Drop — Marathon-Specific Platform: A moderately higher drop than the Vaporfly suits the longer heel-to-toe rolling motion characteristic of marathon pacing, making the Alphafly 3 particularly suited for longer distances.
• Significant Weight Savings Over Alphafly 2: 0.9oz lighter than the v2 at 218g, with broader weight savings coming from upper redesign and refined construction — meaningful across marathon distance.
