Less than a week after the World Athletics decision, the controversial shoe is here.
The headliner for this announcement is the Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next%. The long-distance racing shoe contains a single carbon-fiber plate, ZoomX cushioning, and Zoom Air Pods.

That’s when we struck upon the idea of adding Nike Air to store and return even more of a runner’s energy and provide even more cushioning.
The Alphafly won’t be alone as Nike announced three other shoes in the Next% line: the Air Zoom Tempo Next% and Air Zoom Tempo Next% FlyEase—both more high-mileage trainers than racing shoes—and a pair of track spikes, theNike’s sprint spike, the Viperfly, is currently banned because of the plate construction—Custom Fiber Placement; the plate is embroidered into the shoe—makes it against the rules. But Nike is also working to make that shoe legal.
