The i-Run team says
Inspired by the performance of marathoner Eliud Kipchoge, the Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next% 2 shoe for men takes middle- and long-distance runners to the next level. Innovative and designed for reaching new heights, it is optimised for you to break new records on the roads.
The midsole is higher than its predecessor, and features ZoomX foam for twice the energy return. This ultra-light cushioning combined with the two Zoom Air units in the forefoot provide excellent shock absorption and a more responsive rebound to increase velocity.
Coupled with the full-length Flyplate carbon fibre plate, you get a propulsive and dynamic feel with every stride. Your transitions will be smoother and your foot will roll more naturally, optimising your energy expenditure and allowing you to cover the miles at top speed.
Redesigned on this version, the widened toe and heel increase the stability of the whole package so you can tackle the bends encountered on your trail with confidence.
This shoe is equipped with the ingenious AtomKnit upper that is optimised for high-quality running comfort. Tailored to the toughness of your endeavours, its lightweight, breathable liner design is designed for a snug fit while the asymmetrical lacing locks your foot without pressure points on the instep.
The rubber outsole is developed in accordance with extensive data collected from multiple runners. This ingenious construction gives you optimised grip and incredible traction on targeted areas.

Air Zoom
Nike Air Zoom is a responsive and quick cushioning system. Thousands of stretchable fibers are connected at each end inside an incredibly thin air cushion. This cushion is then filled with air in the form of gas. When the air is compressed, the fibers contract. Thanks to the air pressure and the contraction of the fibers, this allows the Zoom Air cushion to absorb shocks, regain its shape more quickly, resulting in immediate responsiveness in a fraction of a second. Thanks to its low profile, the air cushion keeps the foot close to the ground, providing exceptional sensations.
