Nike | Men's Alphafly 2 Road Racing Shoes - Black

Advice for Road Runners: The Nike Men's Alphafly 2 Road Racings shoes have helped a lot of runners achieve personal bests in events. Particularly in marathons. 

The Black/MTLC Gold Grain-Sail colourway delivers a striking finish on these podium topping Nike Running Shoes. 

Underfoot Feel

A thick layer of ZoomX foam means that the Nike Alphafly 2 Road Racing Shoes offer a lot of protection for long distance running. 

Whilst ZoomX foam is very energy returning, there's also a full-length carbon fibre plate to further enhance the responsiveness. 

As if this combination isn't enough, Zoom Air Units in the forefoot offer even more propulsion. Together, these technologies should deliver an impressive underfoot experience.

It's worth noting that the Alphafly 2 offers greater levels of stability and support as a result of a wide heel and forefoot base-nets. 

Upper Fit

You should experience distraction free comfort in the Nike Alphafly 2 Road Racing Shoes AtomKnit upper. This is because the tongue is completely gusseted. As a result, the fit should stay consistent throughout the duration of your run. 

Friction and rubbing are a common problem in marathons. There's no guarantees, but lofted heel pods and minimal seams help reduce the chances of this occurring. 

Ideal Run Type

If you're trying to run a personal best in a half marathon or marathon, there's a high chance the Nike Men's Alphafly 2 Road Racing Shoes can help. 

With maximum cushioning and energy return on offer, they can help reduce the load on your muscles and improve your running economy. Ultimately helping you get to the finish line in the best time possible. 

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
