Alpha Fly 3. Alpha Fly 3. Alpha Fly 1 and 2 were our nod to make an even more marathon specific racing flat
0:10
Alpha Fly 1 was the shoe that helped Elliot Kipchoge break the 2 hour marathon
0:14
So it takes a high bar to keep on improving that shoe, but we feel like we've done it with the 3
0:19
What our athletes were telling us from the front of the pack all the way through was we want a shoe with even better transition, even more stable, and even more comfortable

but don't sacrifice any bit of the other performance in terms of energy return and weight
0:31
So the first thing you notice, a more continuous bottom in the shoe. There's no more break between the airbag and the heel
0:36
That really helps us with transition. We've also fleshed out the midfoot
0:40
The plate gets wider. The last has gotten more accommodating to allow greater stability throughout foot strike
0:47
Softer touch points in the arch and toe to reduce irritation. All of those things have added to the shoe while reducing weight
0:55
Through geometry and material choices, we are 15% lighter than the Alpha Fly 2 to make
0:59
our lightest Alpha Fly yet. It's already helped Kelvin Kiptum break the world record in the marathon
1:05
We're even more excited about what it'll do to athletes all throughout the race pack
1:09
Transition, stability, and comfort while maximizing energy return will help every runner at every pace
