A Shoe Made to Help You Fly
When Eliud Kipchoge ran a marathon in 1:59:40 in 2019, he did so in a prototype of the Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT%. This extraordinary achievement in Vienna, Austria was years in the making, a culmination of a collaboration between Eliud and Nike, beginning with Eliud’s effort to break the two-hour marathon barrier in 2017. Eliud’s feat has inspired some of the world’s fastest runners to test their own limits and break their own records, and now the shoe that he wore on that chilly October morning in Vienna is available to you.
Our premiere racing shoe is loaded with new technology and innovation that includes two ultra-responsive Zoom Air pods in the forefoot and additional ZoomX foam in the heel. It’s a racing shoe made to shatter records and PRs, whether you’re looking finish a marathon in two, three, four, or five hours.
Alphafly NEXT%
It’s All About Air
Two streamlined Zoom Air pods in the forefoot deliver even more energy return than just the ZoomX foam that is in the Vaporfly NEXT%.
Alphafly NEXT%
More ZoomX Foam
ZoomX foam is unique in two ways: It’s incredibly responsive and lightweight. The Alphafly NEXT% has more foam than the Vaporfly NEXT%, providing additional impact protection and cushion.
Alphafly NEXT%
Customized Carbon Fiber Plate
Working in tandem with the ZoomX foam and the Zoom Air pods, is a full-length carbon fiber plate that delivers a snappy sensation with each stride. For the Vaporfly NEXT%, we used a single thickness of carbon fiber for all of the sizes. But for the Alphafly NEXT%, the thickness was scaled for the size of each shoe-the plate is more flexible in smaller sizes and gets stiffer as the size of the shoe increases.
Alphafly NEXT%
Introducing AtomKnit
During testing, the Nike Innovation team discovered that with the additional foam and the two Zoom Air pods underfoot, the overall weight of this shoe increased. To shave off some ounces, the Nike Innovation team developed a new Flyknit upper called AtomKnit. Flyknit fabric is steamed and stretched, delivering a lightweight, contoured fit with minimal water absorption and enhanced breathability.

Inspired By the World’s Fastest Runners
Over the course of two years, our Nike Sports Research Lab team traveled to the Kaptagat Training Camp in Kenya to test the Alphafly NEXT% with some of the world’s elite distance runners, including Eliud Kipchoge, and hear their first-hand experiences of running in them.

Yo if you are salty cuz I got a pair to test out casually and to test the new technology since I am genuinely interested in it, but I’m not a runner... remember Jordan, yeah his Air Jordan shoes were used for PERFORMANCE ONLY also, but had a cross over to lifestyle. Some runners can to the same. I say in the beginning this is a casual vid, don’t like it,move on, not a hard thing to do! 🦶✌️
It's a great casual review mate. The comfort levels of walking to McDonald's or to my car are all that matter to me 😂.
dont mind the haters man, we love your's reviews
I am not being salty but I still don agree that these high stack runner is good for long term use (LONG TERM ONLY). Short term use should be okay..but i am not too sure.
Hey HesKicks,
I’m one of the so-called haters. But I’m not... I support the channel and have been quite a big fan of the content you put out. But reviews on these super-shoes that are meant for racing is something I don’t look forwards to. It happens with every Nike or Carbon shoe release. I’ve mentioned in my own comment why it is bad (overpronation from carbon causes ligament damage, etc) and why people shouldn’t be wearing an elite running shoe as a casual shoe. There is no disclaimer within the video and by the looks of other comments, is quite encouraging to people to buy these shoes for casual use.
Air Jordan basketball shoes were for “performance only” but transitioned to everyday wear. And you might find that the modern “tech-filled” basketball shoe also has off-court design elements to it (Nike also has those customers in mind). But what Nike did with Kipchoge is to make a shoe TAILORED to the marathon and racing not for casual use. There are other shoes that are similar to the Alphafly made for comfort without a carbon plate and have design elements like it FOR CASUAL USE. The technology of carbon fiber is something revolutionary but in the eyes of a casual perspective kinda hazardous. The shoes are also built for straight lines that’s why in cornering it’s somewhat unstable. Being built with not durable rubber (the nature of nike and being a “race day only shoe”), therefore you shouldn’t be wearing them for as a casual shoe. I’m not hating just telling you the facts based off of me being a competitive runner as well as a sneakerhead who appreciates shoes just like you.
Hope this opens up a bit of your perspective onto the world of “elite-carbon” shoe.
Don't compare running to basketball. Most running shoes can cause foot injury If you keep wearing them casually. Basketball shoes more likely to be closer to the ground...
"Attention Walmart Shoppers, there is no speed walking down the aisles! Yes, talking to you, Mr. Hes" 😜
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Hahah
I know you get a lot of hate for using these shoes causally but as a competitive runner myself I take no offense. You make it clear that you are reviewing the shoe from a causal perspective and that the shoe is not intended for causal use. You also seem to truly respect the history and legacy of the shoe and the athletes behind it. Keep up the good work!
@MY CZcams sure! hahah
@MY CZcams Ok yes, they will but they are racing shoes so they will not last you super long if you are putting in 12 miles on a daily basis for example. If it's for occasionally running 12 miles outdoors than sure but if you're putting in tons of miles I would suggest the pegasus turbo. those also have the zoomx foam but are more durable since they use a layer of react foam as well
@MY CZcams sounds good! I mean if you can afford it they're freakin good shoes they're just expensive for a shoe that only lasts about 100 miles.
@@262ivanh these shoes are for race days. NOT TRAINING!
@@edmlegend7224 yes that is correct
I love these type of videos! Keep it up!
Nobody:
Hes: “I didn’t realize how incredibly big it was... pause”
lmao!
Love you Hes! Keep up the good work! 🙏
That’s what she said😂😂
It might be interesting to know that while at slow paces, lots of high end racing shoes feel unstable, at quicker paces with higher forces, the stability problems go away. As a runner, not a sneaker guy, this vid was quite an interesting perspective.
Maybe it has something to do about weight.
He would get the craziest look from me if I seen him walking around with those on
I also have a bunch of Pegasus Turbos . That shoe is incredible. I have to thank you for that because those things weren't even on my radar before I saw you touting them.
Hodgepodge gotta be James's fav word lmao, it is mine too now. You gotta love it. Keep killin' it man, love your content
Awesome video. Perfect!
Awesome video ! i might have to check them out on the casual side my wife already tells me I walk to fast for her good luck to her now lol
I believe air zoom is for shoes that have a visible zoom unit (Lebron 10, KD 7, etc.) and zoom air refers to the traditional encapsulated unit you find in most zoom-equipped shoes
great vid, thanks. it will be great if you could also review the alphafly tempo, a less expensive version.🙏👏👏👏
Woah these look insane 😳
honest review at it's finest
Appreciate the review as always. It's cool that they're insanely, but I personally would not wear these casually. I bought the Zoom Type cuz I felt it was a more casual-flavored version
for sure a better option for casual!
He said he needs it for his Walmart trips 😭🤣🤣. He said he’s gonna go fast “next percent fast”
lmao the walmart trips be lit in the alphaflys.
I’ve heard so many opinions on this shoe from a runners perspective, it’s nice to hear your review from a casual perspective (nicely done by the way). I’m a runner, not elite by any means but still competitive in my age group, and my biggest problem is the $275 price tag. I suppose if I was some super elite world class athlete they might be worth it but at my level I just can’t justify the price. The other thing I’ve heard is their durability may be lacking. Believe me if I’m going to spend nearly $300 on a pair of running shoes they better hold up for 500+ miles of use which, from what I hear, these don’t even come close. Bottom line, I’ll pass on these for now.
Definitely a "save for race day/PR day" shoe. The new Tempo Next% is supposed to be the daily trainer companion to these and should have more durability due to having a React heel cushion. Those aren't that cheap either though at around $200. Many cheaper options around. I personally use a Zoom Fly FK and Zoom Fly 3 for training, and I picked both of those up on sale.
thanks for the added feedback from the running side! Yeah the price is huge and there are really good options out like Saucony Endorphin Pro that feel good on feet too, and have way better tread. These feel crazy on feet tho, fun to try out!
@@heskicks The Endorphin Pro is another fantastic elite level running shoe that I plan to give a try someday. Props for giving it a shout out, I appreciate your enthusiasm for all these types of shoes. Unfortunately, it's even harder to find where I live than the Next%, lol.
@@Xmasochist It is a really good shoe. Its durability is insane. I really don’t have to bring it with me on race day, often just wear it to the track directly. After 100 plus miles, still have zero wear on the outsole.
I know it's 1 year in the present but I bought a pair for $86 at the Nike outlet during this Memorial Day sale
I’m still waiting for my pair to reach me and Hes’s review makes me feel the purchase was worth it
To think that runners like me are struggling to even find a pair to buy to go run actual races, that is the staple of all running shoes, every distance runner is on their knees for them and he is just at his table with a pair talking about how he’s going to wear them casually 🤦♂️
here in Japan the Alphafly is widely available. Normally these would sold out immediately but apparently Nike got the supply-demand balanced...
Is the toe section harder than the Turbo X zoom. It looks thicker and stiffer right at the front. The ZoomX Turbo is great because it is soft.
You should do a series on the best shoes for flat feet people and also for people who work on concrete all day like at a factory
I wonder how many pair of shoes Hes bought this year. Thanks for the reviews
Between the More v4 and the Alphafly 2, which is the most comfortable, and which is best for stability and quick lateral movements?
Picked these up at pigeon forge nike closeout outlet this weekend for 99$,have not worn anything else,love em
Watching this video while I'm serious intending to buy a counterfeit of this shoe. It looks so good even imitated.
What is the Nike shoe on the left at 11:31 - the white/cream/green - that one looks like a realy cool stable shoe for casual but can't find it in your other videos!!! I love anything that gives me extra height LOL Love your videos!
Just got them. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Those look so frickin comfy what the heck
Great video!
Would you mind telling me where you got those funky socks from? I would like to buy them if possible.
I really like these. Hope they drop in price so that they fit my annual shoe budget lol and yes I wish I had bought the 4 percent a size up
whats a more comfortable shoe ? these or the invincibles ? i literally just bought the invincibles....and BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....i literally bought them based off ur review and i am super happy, but these look alittle cooler...thinking of getting these as well... whats ur take on it ! alpha fly next% or invincibles ?
These are not for casual wear and not for running routes that have lots of corners. They are so unstable.
100%, these remind me of newtons which were terrible for your feet and hips unless you had a perfect gait
standing in 'soft' shoes are so bad for your health, fooooks your bones/ligaments right up
These are nice if you are running marathons. I will stick to my v1 Peg Turbos. I have several pairs of the v1 Peg Turbos with the stripe and those are super dope for casual wear. I actually prefer the regular pegasus for running. More support and lasts way longer for daily training.
How does this compare to the air zoom type is it worth that price diff or is the air zoom type good enough
What is the most comfortable shoe for everyday use?
Yeah, the cushion is crazy good. I have worn my pair for running and sometimes casual wear, no problems with them yet.
Cool review, going from a casual viewpoint.
Any problems like ankle injuries? Lol i was concerned about the stability
I haven't had any problems with them yet.
@@russellgray1917 how are they now? Im a bigger runner and soley buying these for cushion for my feet longer runs
@@solace4114 They've been great, still really comfortable. They have worn down a little bit faster than I like, but overall, they been a great shoe.
I brought the latest 2021 Alphafly they are like springs on your feet for long distance running
Really cool how u take any type of shoe, ie, running, basketball, anything! And review them casually
These are for distance racing. It won’t last well on casual use and is meant for forefront landing in running not heel striking with walking
Whats the best nike cushioning shoes for casual use in ur opinion
Invincible run
@@puck4818 I have these and they are excellent 👌.
I really wanted to hate these because of their price point, but the the underfoot experience is pretty darned great. Both the ZoomX in the rear feels great, and the FlyPlate and Zoom Air in the forefoot really gives a "launching" feeling. And they are much more widefoot friendly (gang gang!) than most runners
And while I like how this colorway looks, I don't like the upper materials, which feels stiff and plastic-y to me - I'm sure Nike was just trying to give a breathable, lightweight, durable upper, but just coming from a casual perspective, I don't care for it, and prefer the upper on the 4%
So, I'm torn on whether I'll keep them or return them (to the sports-store I got them from)
I have these and the vaporfly next %. The vaporfly changed my world and these just raised the bar . I used them for running as while some other shoes are good, these are different
I don’t know man from what I’ve read I don’t think those are safe to wear just as casual shoes. I feel like certain shoes are shaped a certain way. Running shoes are those type of shoes. Basketball shoes are a little bit different because there’s a lot of times in the game we were just standing still. When you’re running you’re supposed to be running and when you’re done running you get off your feet. Screw it though if you want to be a guinea pig go ahead and do it.
I agree it’s not a normal every day shoe and not a show I would wear every day just if I was walking around a lot
@@heskicks n here me who bought the green and black colour way cause it looked cool for casual wearing
YOGITA TAPAR Run to the mall in them lol
Zooming round Walmart 😂😂😂 go for it bro i totally get it
i respect the man for trying these out, yes they are not for casual but dont hate on him "hes" a shoe collector. Also I’m a runner and I’m a straight up nerd when it comes to this stuff too.
LOL at the " I didnt know how big it was" PAUSE lol
@heskicks
Are they still Comfy after 6 months???
Awesome review as always. Finally got mine today with 15% off. Will definitely use this for casual too 👍
Oh cool tie dye socks again.. yeah those go well with every single shoe. You should make every other video have to do with custom tye die or ice dyed stuff.. like all the time..
I wore casually the vapor fly %2. Fire shoes 🔥
Could you do a review on the Nike Superrep, a budget Alphafly for CrossFit.
Bro, I want to know if these were truly comfy. I got a pair of these , and damn son they were not kidding that it’s built for EKs foot. These are the most narrow shoe I have ever put my foot in. I cannot imagine these feel good on any feet except the skinniest Elongated marathon feet.
They don’t even have a tall arch stabilizer wall but my foot was no lie many many inches too wide . I finally put a thick insole in there and they are not digging into my foot at bad. I can see in this video it digging into your foot at well. Can you really not feel it ?
I’m cool with using an insole though because these are so incredible nice to walk in and look so great. Plus I’m a 13 so it’s got a monster 55mm stack 0_o
Will you try the tempo next %? They are much better looking imo
These are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 They are definitely my next purchase. Good 👍 review, Hes.
Should I get these or the new balance 1080s ?
love the sock
I just got a pair of these, I thought the zoom invincible’s could not be beat as far as comfort. When I tell you I feel like I’m walking on clouds, it’s amazing, I haven’t used them all day yet but I got them for casual use and can say it’s no more waiting outside on the bench while the wife shops because my dawgs are hurting lol
Lol I prefer invincibles for daily use just because there not super gawdy😂
I bought 5 pair in 4 weeks.
Preach🙌
So i just got these. Insane bounce and spring. Unfair advantage for runners. But i dont know if i can wear it casually because they are loud walking around.
Bro, with the insane stack height of these combined with ZERO lateral support (they are designed to go forward and forward only), you are BEGGING to roll your ankles in a most horrific way by wearing them casually. Dragsters are badass on drag strips, not so much in a cul de sac. But hey, to each their own!
Tony Montana that’s it? I played football for 10 years I’ve rolled my right ankle at least 100 times. Left at least 50 times.
Yeah its a race shoe for sure
Lmfao 😂😂
dude, women wear high-heels all the time
@@christianshaw2450 weird flex but ok
These are the running/marathon version meant specifically for that purpose. They do have another version in the line that is more of a training shoe for standard training that is probably better suited for casual wear in comparison. i have a link saved for them to keep an eye out if they go on sale or the price comes down any.
Is this shoes match for the flare foot person?
as a runner myself i can attest these are great shoes to run in but only on pavement definitely not on a dirt track or dirt trails
eliud uses these in dirt trails 😂
im buy this model from china in may 120$ , same material same sole , flycnit . this shoe realy cool . life style,driving car no problem .
We need a full sneaker collection tour
cushion looks legit. great for not so tall people 😂
Lolol
Literally adds an inch to your height lol
You should review the asics novablast
Can someone who has these tell if you can wear these everyday, like are the soles really thin that wears out ?
Yeah, these shoes are something alright. My pair came in just yesterday, and was impressed as soon as I opened the box. Looks even better in person and insanely light considering how chunky it appears. Also got the Vaporfly in the same colourway.
Would the ZoomXVaporfly Next% 2 be a good casual shoe for comfort?
@@Loggerr it can definitely be worn casually with the amount of cushioning, but it's not the most stable shoe for just walking around. Wouldn't buy it for just purely casual use, since I have cheaper and more suitable pairs for that.
@@Xmasochist Amazing insight! Thank you so so much!! Have a great day:)
carved case hits different
Do you get clicking sounds?
Please review Nike Alphafly 2 , thanks.
I'm getting an Iron Sheikh wrestling boot vibe from these...
It’s a race shoes,. Just like low profile tires, they wear out faster.
What are those blue joints called? 4 percent?
Lolz 😁
The said Nike shoes are the most weird shoes I have ever known
If you want for casual get the zoom type...
Hey hes, how is the cushion compare to Nike air zoom next? The double waffle stack cushion? Which is better and why?
Cool shoe
crazy
Alphafly Next %shoes irealy like this wow
2021 ultraboost will be crazy to
I honestly don’t know how I feel about this video. I am competitive college runner and tried multiple times to purchase this and the previous colorway. After seeing the comments and the amount of people that want to wear this casually, I am annoyed. I want these for performance but I losing out to people wearing them casually
If I started running on them would it make you less salty? If I gifted them to a runner would that make you feel better? The problem is it doesn’t matter if I’m honest or not with these people will hate that I got a pair. I get no respect for being honest about the intent, just criticized for things that I openly call out in the vid that people don’t even listen to.
Why don't you put on your best running shoes and run around to some outlets and see if you can find a pair in stock? I might purchase a pair to wear while I smoke a bowl and watch TV.
What a drama queen
Angelo Duarte you are missing the point. I am not saying these are good for walking and not saying try as I try. I am giving an example of how these are on feet, period. How are people going to know if they can be worn for anything else if yon don’t try. I paid my money to try. I didn’t like the VaporFly next, I said that in the other vid, I did like these. Everybody’s entitled to their opinion, this is mine
Hey Hes, love your channel. I also love running, but i wont have any problem even if you burn hundreds of pairs of Alphaflys or any other extremely hard to get shoes to keep yourself warm. If you bought it with your own money, dont give a single F to anybody's opinion.
More power champ
Boi u need to try confortable slow run then u will love running
Just searched ur name and didn’t even know u uploaded
sadness
Those shoes made me taller lol and it doesn't look casual it really look like an running shoes + the front part is not flexible
Runners are also usually the best for working on your feet all day too.
I bought 5 pairs in 4 weeks. My feet haven't touched the ground while walking 5 miles per day in them. I want to rotate them to preserve them. Go up half size to get your feet in them easier and have a little more toe room. Otherwise, your natural size will fit, but be harder to put on.
Are they good for everyday walk
I have to admit, am surprised by the review: I thought that combining a soft foam and air zoom in this shoe would end up Like the Air Max 270 React: just plain weird on feet for a lot of people. But seems that they have have found the right recipe for this shoe...and for that price, just as well...
Super interesting to me too! It’s smooth transition and cushion is crazy even with the zoom I think due to the carbon fiber placement
Hes Kicks Will be very interested in a longer term review...I.e. when does the magic ride fade into something different?
Where can I get those socks? They're fire.
Casual for sure. Nike will make more money in casual sales easy.
“Walmart, Target, Costco: all gonna benefit with these when I’m out and about rocking these bad boys.”

🤣
These are made for a specific purpose. If you are a stability runner these are terrible. Don’t buy in hype go to a proper shoe/running store and find out what type of sneakers are right for you. Only poseurs buy sneakers off a rack in a store.
great for racing, bad for walking. it doesn't matter how soft the cushioning is, this shoe is terrible for walking in so many ways. most ppl heel strike while they walk. this shoe is designed for forefoot strike while running. if you heel strike on these, you lose your balance very easily as there is no heel support and there is no structure for the foam. these shoes are also made for max ventilation so if you just sitting around your feet will be cold. these shoes have about 25% the life span of regular running shoes. the exposed foam wears down quick. even walking in gravel or any unsmoothed surfaces will shread the unprotected zoomx on the bottom with 5-10 mins.

I've always wondered... could you wear a race show as a "casual lifestyle shoe" ...would the carbon plate bother someone stnding around or just walking? Never mind the fact that this shoes looks too "purpose built" for marathoneers. To the point of looking like othapedic shoes for people with midical issues with their legs.
Have you tried thte Vaporfly NEXT& ? Have you done a video on it yet? I'm vaguely considering one but I am more of a lifestyle shoe wearer. :) Sprinting once in a while for personal fitness. But I'm not a "runner".
The guy youre thinking about is Eliud Kipchoge :) I know about the Alpha youre talking about...has 3 plates in it. I think Nie sold copies of it briefly. SHoes were on eBay. That or maybe not exact copies but shoes wthat were part of the "EK Collection" sold suring 2020 only. Odd they stopped making EK Collection items....he's got fans. And there is the Alpha NEXT& 2 now....and the Peg 39....(back in 2020 there was a Peg 37 EK ...
I got a heskicks advertisement on a heskicks video 😳
You may as well do a little running wirh them !
