In the latest edition of the Chicago Marathon, Nike made a bold statement with the groundbreaking AlphaFly 3. And guess what? This next-gen sneaker was on the feet of both the men’s and women’s race winners. Now, as the New York City Marathon looms, we can’t help but wonder if Nike will continue to dominate with the VaporFly 3 or if another brand will snatch the spotlight away.

Nike Running’s premium collection has always impressed with its combination of style and functionality. Sure, some may debate whether they’re truly the best-performing sneakers on the market, but there’s no denying their eye-catching designs. Nike has consistently delivered the finest to its runners, and the VaporFly 3 is no exception. In fact, this new colorway is their most exciting one yet.

Imagine an upper completely draped in a high-visibility neon volt, paired with a midsole boasting a bold gradient that transitions from tonal volt to aqua teal, and finally to a dark navy. To add a pop of flair, punchy orange accents can be found within the midsole indents, the oversized Swoosh on the sole, and the achilles pinchers.

While an official release date is still under wraps, we’ve got a sneak peek for you to feast your eyes on. Stay tuned for the drop on Nike.com and at select Nike Running retailers, with a price tag of $260. Trust us, it’ll be worth the wait.

On another note, we have exciting news in the world of running. New images of the Nike AlphaFly 3, set to hit shelves in January 2024, have just been unveiled. Start counting down the days, sneakerheads!
