As said by record-breaking runners and hobbyists alike, the Nike AlphaFly 3 is one of the best marathon sneakers on the planet. Nike’s current most well-known “super shoe” is bound to get a successor eventually (probably sometime in 2026), but for now, new colorways are keeping energy high going into the autumn marathon season.

The model’s Atomknit 3.0 upper (a more advanced version of Flyknit) here appears in “Obsidian” with white Swoosh logos, complemented by “Denim Turquoise” on the front portion of the ZoomX midsole. A soft “Persian Violet” gradient is applied to the heel, while Nike Running’s favorite “Volt” color appears notably on the Air Zoom cushioning and insoles. As for the most important info for runner; the AlphaFly 3 weighs 218g in a men’s size 10 (US) and features an 8mm heel-to-toe drop.

The Nike AlphaFly 3 “Obsidian” doesn’t have a concrete release date, but we’ll notify through the @sneakernews X account once pairs become available. Expect men’s sizes and an MSRP of $295.
