This Nike ZoomX AlphaFly NEXT% “Ekiden” Is Scorching Hot

Ekiden season is upon us as the best runners in Japan across all skill levels are gearing up the intra-national racing meets and competitions. Nike is serving up yet another series of Ekiden-themed footwear, among them the high-powered ZoomX AlphaFly NEXT%. Boasting a full-length carbon fiber plate, ZoomX foam cushioning, and an AtomKnit upper shell, the ZoomX AlphaFly NEXT% has been touted as the brand’s best marathon-running silhouette to date, and those who have relied on the model during this year’s and last year’s marathon circuit can attest to that bold statement.

Once again boasting a wild colorway, the ZoomX AlphaFly NEXT% “Ekiden” arrives with a blazing hot colorway of oranges and yellows, complete with the fractal graphic pattern on the fore-foot Swoosh logo. A gradient of the warm tones appears on the upper portion of the ZoomX midsole, while the signature emblems of the Ekiden pack appear on the heel-strip.

Nike.com will stock these soon; these are already available in the Japan region.
