Features of the Air Zoom Alphafly Next% 3

• Drop: 8 mm.
• Cushioning: The ultra-light foam positioned along the entire length improves the transition between the heel and forefoot. Combined with a carbon plate, it offers a light and propulsive ride. The revamped heel improves stability and transition during pace changes. The air cushions at the front integrated into the midsole aim to absorb shocks, facilitate transitions, and increase propulsion.
• Upper (the part that wraps around your foot): Innovative, its design ensures weight saving and promotes continuous water and sweat evacuation. Adapted to your efforts, its lightweight and breathable sock liner guarantees a snug fit while the asymmetric lacing locks your foot without pressure points on the instep.
