Nike Alphafly 3

These Nike shoes have been life changing. For many years I ran marathons on Ascics shoes until my Son suggested I try a pair of these Nike Air Zoom Alphafly’s. I have been diagnosed with severe hip arthritis and if it were not for these shoes, I would not be running. These are not just the world top marathon shoes, these are shoes that can make a life changing effect of allowing runners with sever arthritis to continue running. I am a life long convert and will always be a devoted user of these Nike shoes.

I bought the Alphafly last September and only start using them outside last month. I am sorry but these shoes a very fast. I ran all winter winter the Infinity 4 Gore-tex which is React Foam. Zoom X is that kind of foam that works well on high speed. One thing i am not sure is the heel glue to the plate. Mine starting to be exposed a bit but might be just the esthetic. For real it could be my last shoes I don’t care i would wear them to work.

I've bought the Alphafly 1 & 2 more than twice each and they lasted 3-4 months while running about 8 miles a week total, but these Alphafly 3 did not last 20 miles. It's like with each edition they keep removing more & more of the sole/bottom grip of the shoe just to replace it with more foam. I noticed cracks in the foam the within the first 4 miles, tears by the 8th and the grip completely fell off by the 20th mile, smh. I don't see myself buying another pair until they have way more sole/tread at the bottom because I wouldn't even be able to complete a marathon in a brand new pair.
