Mens Air Zoom Alphafly Next %

Incredible - making a harder pace, easier to give.

Got a pair for a week now, at beginning felt bid weird😅 however once I was used to with it, it was so comfortable when running-would recommend to anyone.

Perfect, very quick delivery… and the Alphafly’s are absolutely awesome! Love them, light, bouncy, responsive, smooth rolling toe off and super fast. Looking forward to training and racing in them!😁

Perfect!!

Early days yet but feels very comfortable and pace is good.

The Alphafly are very light and the fit is very snug. I chose the same size as for Pegasus but they are tighter and I shall have to wear thinner socks in future. I’ve only done one short run in them to test them out. I did find that I was able to run faster when doing some speedwork. Looking forward to using them in a race.

Ummed and ahhed over these for a while before deciding to get them. Totally blown away by the performance. Never has a pair of shoes made running so easy. Yes, they look a bit silly but would take that in a heartbeat for the fact that I look forward to putting them on and going out for a run. Like having two mini trampolines on your feet!

Very comfortable shoe. Stylish design. Not very durable though. Probably walked about a mile from having them for 4 days and the sole is fading already.

Great price. Great trainer. Perfect fit.

Unbelievably comfortable, super lightweight and give that extra spring to help you to keep going faster. Love everything about them

Brilliant brilliant product

Fantastic product albeit yet to be road tested. Immaculate packaging and service from Nike! Look forward to using them on the roads!

Love these shoes.

I love these shoes! They're so soft and protective (not QUITE as soft as New Balance RC Elite V2 though) but they feel faster and more springy. I prefer these to the Vaporflys for everything except REALLY fast stuff, if I'm racing even a 5k I'd choose these over the Vaporfly unless it's a very twist course. I don't think they last very long though, maybe a few hundred miles max (and I'm only 54kgs!

Simple “amazing” worth every Penny and even better when in the sale. Not your everyday shoe but race shoes

As a below average, middle aged, asthmatic runner I questioned if these were the shoes for me. It turns out they are the shoes I always needed. The amazing energy return means my joints don’t have to work as hard and less effort for same pace translates to my chest and heart not having to work as hard either. Pb’s in terms of distance and pace keep coming and I’m now on my third pair! The only downside is that after running in these I really feel the difference when running in standard running shoes!
I would wholeheartedly recommend for the average broken runner and can see how a ‘proper’ runner would massively benefit.

Very nice shoe. Strange feeling on the inner arches as they are really narrow.
Put some zoomfly 4 insoles in and perfect.

Best shoe….. the end!

I took the plunge on these, given the reviews, as I had a 1/2 marathon looming large. I duly completed and took 15 minutes off my PB, the 6-16k piece of the race passed me by and was an absolute pleasure in these shoes. Incredible and worth every penny.

The best long distance road trainers out there. Second pair of these after good mileage in first. Proper race day shoe

Ok, they're expensive but you get what you pay for with these running shoes. First look out of the box, they look radically different and putting them on, is a little bit of effort but once in place straight away they want to take you for a ride! A bit noisy on the road and certainly noticeable they will tempt you to run faster and they do.
I am not sure about the durability of the shoe so maybe I might invest in another pair and share the load but overall they are a terrific running shoe and worth every penny!
One other thing, my aching knees don't ache wearing these shoes as the cushioning is absolutely amazing!

I have chosen to run in NIKE's for the past years due to the companies innovation, and the Alphafly and Vaporfly are a prime examples of that.

Both shoes are incredible to run in and push you forward into new PB's, with the added luxury of extreme comfort due to your feet being surrounded in ZoomX foam.

I'm excited to see what comes next from NIKE after the Alphafly...

Amazing running trainers.
Very comfortable and ideal for road running.

Got these a few weeks ago and used them for a few sessions. Different to the Vaporfly, more bouncy and more responsive. Feel good even over short distances. Can feel slightly unstable rounding corners. Only done 25 miles and the rear outsole is showing quite a lot of wear. Really enjoying them though.

Hard to pace in but in a good way, as in legs go fast and then have to stop to catch one's breath. great fun but not great on corners

Excellent in every aspect. I don’t think the Vaporfly could be improved on, this does just that. They are very specific for long distance and I would not race anything but a marathon in these. The high stack height is not suited to tight corners, but at long straight roads this shoe excels.

Not tried them yet but they look and feel amazing. A far better colour scheme to the first batch

Felt lke trampolines in my first few steps in these! Ran quite a fast 7 miles in them to start. They encourage you to increase cadence yet when it comes to running fast sections i.e. picking up the pace they don't respond very well (not like the Next%) and are rubbish at corneriing.
I would limit these to marathons (what they're designed for) and hilly 1/2 marathons.

Very happy with the nike service

Yet again Nike are way ahead of the rest of the pack with these runners , I have the vaporfly which I still love but these alphafly are just another level completely, I own the other colour as well but I paid a lot more money for them from America as I missed out on them in the UK , comfort, stability, fit are excellent, can’t praise Nike enough 👏👏👏😡😡❤️🏃‍♂️

This is essentially a cheaper NEXT%/Alpha and it feels like it; but don't let that put you off. Its a great shoe, and I found it very comfortable on an inaugural 13km jog. They are heavier and a tad warmer than its bigger brothers, but I gel'ed with it after about 100m. While running I was considering whether or not to wear them for a HM race I have in a few days, they wouldn't be the worst choice,

I'd say they're a snug fit, I buy an UK 11 in all Nike shoes and found it felt a teeny bit snug in these, where I contemplated an 11.5 but in reality they're fine to live with as is.

Fantastic to run in and very light. Have developed a squeak in right foot after a few runs, hopefully it will go away.

Great pair of running shoes.
Upper - Fit is spot on with more room than the 4%. Heel is locked in and lacing keeps the top of the foot secure. The toe box has ample room and should be great on full marathon distance when your foot can swell. The Atomknit is forgiving and very breathable.

Sole - Very comfortable with lots of 'bounce'. The shoes are very clunky at slow speed and don't really come to life until you get on your toes and lean forward. Once forefoot striking, they propel you forward much more noticeably than the 4% did and help reduce fatigue. The stack height & air pods make them pretty unstable when making quick changes in direction, much more so than the 4%.

Issues – The right shoe started to squeak intermittently on my 1st run after about 6km. It now seems to squeak when up on the forefoot but it isn’t consistent. I’ve spoken to customer services and they have stated this shouldn’t happen and would be happy to replace them but there’s no stock, so I’ll have to wait and see if I can get another pair.

Conclusion – Fastest pair of shoes I own by a long way, new materials look like they will last much longer than the 4% I have that are showing considerable wear after 190km. Can easily see myself smashing some if not all PRs in them.

Great first impressions.
A nice snug fit but still the right amount of room around the toes. The atom knit is amazing and nice and breathable. Durability seems good, especially on the forefoot.
