Nike's Tallest Marathon Runner Is Taking "Glam" to Whole New Heights
You can run a marathon in these. You could also just... not.
The Alphafly 3 is Nike's most unhinged marathon shoe in the best possible way. With its bursting innovative tech, It's the kind of shoe that makes 26.2 miles sound almost reasonable. The ‘Glam’ colorway takes all of that and adds the audacity to match.
Because here's the thing: serious running shoes don't have to look serious. They can be performative, without being a sea of neutrals. The ‘Glam’ challenges that argument, and then some.
Two forefoot Air Zoom units are storing and returning your energy with every step, the carbon Flyplate, even wider this time, is doing its propulsive thing, and the fully connected ZoomX foam is making sure you feel as fresh at mile 25 as you did at mile one (one can dream). It's also the lightest Alphafly yet. Nike is not being subtle about any of this.
The Atomknit upper keeps things breathable and locked in, notched laces stay soft against the foot, and a lofted tongue means zero lace pressure. It also comes dressed in gradient pinks and oranges with pops of green and blue. Glam by name, glam by nature.
Available now for $305 on Nike's website. Wear them to run. Wear them to brunch. Either way, you’re going to catch some glances.
Nike is giving ‘full beat’ a whole new meaning with this one.
