Marathon Handbook's expert shoe reviewer Alex Cyr takes a look at the Nike Alphafly 3, the latest super shoe from the Swoosh, which has dominated elite marathons in late 2023. This is the shoe that helped Kelvin Kiptum set a new world record in the marathon last fall in Chicago. It's positioned as the fastest marathon shoe ever made, but does it live up to the hype? And is the Nike Alphafly 3 going to improve marathon times for the average recreational runner? Alex breaks down how the Nike Alphafly 3 performs in the real world after several long runs and workouts, if it will deliver you your next marathon PR, and what he thinks the Swoosh may have up their sleeve for later in 2024 (i.e. an even faster and lighter Alphafly 4, just in time for the Olympics, perhaps?).
