Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% Flyknit 2 Women's Racing Shoes

Once you take a few strides in these rocket ships, you'll never look at your favourite pair of old racing shoes the same way again. They're made for race day and beyond, to help shave precious time off your personal records without surrendering the foundation you need to go the full distance.

FlyKnit-AtomKnit Upper

Atomknit uppers encase the foot in lightweight comfort. The comfortable updated version of Flyknit is steamed and stretched to deliver a lightweight and contoured fit. The fabrication wraps the foot in lightweight support to ensure a comfortable and secure fit from the moment you put them on till the moment you take them off. The minimalist fabric sits close to the foot to ensure a dynamic, lightweight fit that's ideal for racing whilst perforations within the fabric increase airflow, creating a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. The breathable upper allows cool air to flow into the construction whilst, at the same time allowing hot, humid air to escape so you can remain cool, dry and comfortable at all times. Completing the upper are notched laces for a secure yet soft lace-up, and an integrated tongue with padding for reducing lace pressure.

ZoomX Foam Midsole

Offering you an ultra-lightweight and responsive ride, the NEXT% Flyknit 2's have a full-length ZoomX foam construction that feet will sit on. It's not only built for speed but will also provide you unmatched cushioning, allowing you to stay fresh even during the late miles of your marathon. This foam compound will provide you with the protection, performance and comfort where you most need it, rather than where you don't. Alongside this, lateral Zoom Air Pods are present through to the forefoot, delivering Nike's highest energy return cushioning system available. This will add more bounce to every step for the ultimate level of comfort and performance. A full-length Carbon fibre flyplate will deliver a roll-forward feel which makes you want to take on the next step. The Flyplate will provide you with a propulsive sensation, helping you to smoothly transition through your stride. Both the forefoot and heel offer you a slightly wider base, for a stable platform, so you can tackle turns on the course with confidence.

Durable Rubber Outsole

Using data from hundreds of different runners, Nike has created the perfect gripping outsole. The design places optimal rubber on the road for efficiency and traction; high-abrasion rubber adorns the rearfoot to increase durability, resisting the traumas of heel-strike to supply you with a reliable and long-lasting running buddy. Lightweight foam rubber covers the forefoot to provide grip and durability whilst enhancing energy return. The sole has different angles of traction placed where you need it, providing you with grip from toe-off through every phase of your stride. It's all for the athletes who crave a shoe that's hard to run slow in, a shoe that allows you to maintain any given pace.
