Andrew Rizzo With the 2024 Olympic Games drawing closer by the day, we’re continuing to learn more about the “Blueprint Pack” that was promised at the “Nike: On Air” expo in Paris this spring. Several new Air-equipped models are set to release under the same “Blueprint” design theme this July, including the Nike AlphaFly 3, the Beaverton brand’s latest and greatest effort for high-performance running.
Unlike other shoes previewed at “Nike: On Air,” we had seen the AlphaFly 3 before. Runners Kelvin Kiptum and Sifan Hassan won the Chicago Marathon in Nike AlphaFly 3 shoes last year, and “Volt” and “Prototype” colorways released earlier this year. Therefore, this pair comes as more of a formal introduction than a grand debut. Much like its “Blueprint Pack” counterparts, the design features a white base, pixelated blue Swoosh, and orange accents underfoot.
Runners will surely want to learn about every performance spec before dropping $285 on a pair, and they’re encouraged to do so via our initial coverage, but here’s a quick overview: The Nike AlphaFly 3 is Nike’s lightest AlphaFly shoe to date, with a men’s US10 weighing just 220 grams. In that same size, the stack height is just under 40 millimeters, and the heel to forefoot drop clocks in at 8 millimeters.
Enjoy official images of the Nike AlphaFly 3 “Blueprint” below and mark your calendar for the shoe’s release on July 3rd alongside other “Blueprint Pack” offerings. Speaking of which, read up on details surrounding the all-new Nike Zoom GT Hustle 3.
