Zoom Air units and full-length ZoomX foam deliver Nike’s highest energy return cushioning system, adding more bounce into every step. A thin rubber outsole enhances traction and allows for more ZoomX under the Zoom Air cushioning. The additional foam not only adds more bounce, but also helps improve transition from heel to forefoot. Full-length ZoomX foam offers an ultra-lightweight and responsive ride. It’s built for speed but also provides cushioning to stay fresh even in the late miles of a marathon. It offers comfort where you need it. Full-length carbon fiber plate delivers a sort of roll-forward feel that makes you want to take on the next step. It gives you a propulsive sensation and helps you smoothly transition through your stride. Both the forefoot and heel offer slightly wider bases for a stable platform, so you can tackle turns on the course with confidence. Part of the Flyknit family—Atomknit material on the upper has a contoured fit while being lightweight and super-breathable. Specifically designed lofted heel pods use Flyknit yarns for secure, extended comfort and lightweight heel lockdown. Notched laces offer a secure, but soft lace-up. An integrated knit tongue with lofted padding make for a secure, repeatable fit that helps reduce lace pressure. The sole was designed using data from hundreds of runners. It has different angles of traction placed where you need it, providing grip from foot-strike to toe-off.

The Air Zoom Alphafly Next 2 is a loud and premium running shoe. The shoe is unbelievably light weight. I could not believe Nike was able to make a shoe this lightweight and stylish at the same time.The shoe is too narrow for my feet so be aware that if you have a hard time fitting into shoes due to width these shoes will be too narrow for you.The details on these shoes are next level from the infinity logo on the heal to the completely unique shoe laces. The orange colorway is a statement piece and you will be noticed anywhere you are wearing these.The bounce on these shoes are amazing! At 5 foot 7 inches I felt I could dunk in these shoes.

If Nike makes this shoe with a slightly wider fit I would like pairs in multiple colorways. If you are in the market of the perfect running shoe and your foot is average width to narrow, this is the shoe for you.

Unboxing this shoe was very exciting. As soon as I opened the box and seen the drawstring bag I was ready to throw the shoes in the bag and head to the park. From the vibrant orange color with the hints of highlighter green in the air bubbles, I was super excited because these are colors runners love. The colors also reminded me of the leaves on trees as autumn is approaching or finally here. Just having vibrant colors as these makes runners more visible when running at night. The ergonomic design and foamy bottom gives the sense of running on a cloud. The material of the shoe itself feels paper thin but is feels durable and more breathable than other running shoes. This allows for less odor from long runs and to dry faster. The foamy bottom with the air bubble ... MoreUnboxing this shoe was very exciting.

Unfortunately I was not able to get the shoes on my feet because it runs small. I wish the material at the heel was more sturdy because as I tried to put the shoes on, my heel would crush the back of the shoe. As I tried to pull the back up the shoe out with the heel tag to give some leverage to allow my heel to slip in, it was extremely impossible and I continued to struggle to get the shoes on. This was mostly due to the shoe being too small in size and width. I recommend getting at least a half size bigger than your normal shoe size, especially for someone with wider feet.

To my surprise, these shoes are actually very comfortable and supportive given the light materials they are made of. The fit is a bit snug at first which I didn’t initially like but after a few wears I love it! These are made for running on the track or any other long/short distance cardio. The snug fit allows your foot to stay planted and not slip around inside and the shoe has incredible grip that I’ve never felt before when compared to other running shoes. Most dedicated running shoes sacrifice comfort and many other things for weight savings which is a big deciding factor when purchasing. These shoes are an outlier and do not cut corners on anything. The comfort is amazing and somewhat of a bouncy feeling when in use. I was able to wear these all day after my ... MoreTo my surprise, these shoes are actually very comfortable and supportive given the light materials they are made of.

The thing I liked most about the shoe was the grip and outstanding comfort. It is really like no other. The only thing I would change about the shoe would be the ankle lining. If you’re wearing no show socks or short enough socks that don’t cover your ankles, it may slightly irritate them. Other than that, these shoes are perfect! Would 100% get them again.

I was in the market for a new running shoe and decided to go... big. After hearing about the Next%'s, I decided to give it a go. My initial impression of the shoe was what is this? At first it looks futuristic, intimidating and let's face it, a tad goofy looking. After the first week, I was blown away. I felt that for the first time ever the shoe is actually doing the running. I was cheating. The shoes actually spring you forward due to the carbon plate in the fore foot area in addition to the Zoomx.It's extremely comfortable and fit true to size for me. The upper provides a lot of breathability with that sock like feel. I was worried about stability issues since it does have a really high midsole which I felt added an inch or two to my height. But it was far more ... MoreI was in the market for a new running shoe and decided to go... big. After hearing about the Next%'s, I decided to give it a go.

The upper provides a lot of breathability with that sock like feel. I was worried about stability issues since it does have a really high midsole which I felt added an inch or two to my height. But it was far more stable than I anticipated. Over my short time so far, it feels like it getting more and more comfortable and my feet and legs are not so fatigue afterwards.If I were to give it a negative, it would be that you really can't wear these as a casual shoe with jeans. It's definitely a performance first shoe. Also, the laces are different than what I'm used to. They're flat, while I feel that they do help support the top of my foot, I wonder if over time they'll start to come apart.Only time will tell.If you can get past the 'look', I assure you will be completely satisfied by this pair of running shoes. Well done Nike.
I recently acquired the Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next% 2 running shoes and I couldn’t be any happier with my decision to do so. I am absolutely in love with these shoes. They are by far my most favorite and make running feel almost surreal. The technology behind these shoes provides a substantial energy return that you feel with every stride. I typically run around 8-10 miles a week and doing so while wearing these shoes has been so much fun. Aside from the technology incorporated within the Next Air Zoom Alphafly Next% 2 themselves, I am a big fan of the style and design as well. I have received many compliments while wearing them and love the pop of color they provide. The durability behind these shoes is also something that is commendable. I can see myself wearing ... MoreI recently acquired the Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next% 2 running shoes and I couldn’t be any happier with my decision to do so.

I have received many compliments while wearing them and love the pop of color they provide. The durability behind these shoes is also something that is commendable. I can see myself wearing these shoes for a long period of time, before I start to see significant wear. I definitely recommend the Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next% 2 to anyone that enjoys running, regardless of your experience or background. They give a new life to running, whether you’re on the track or on the pavement. Happy running everyone!!
The energy return is very substantial and almost surreal at full speed running. I have only ran on pavement in these shoes and it feels very rewarding as long as running is the main focus. I find it hard to slow down often times after picking up some speed, as the shoes give me a noticeable push every time my heel comes off contact from the ground. If I were to use one word to describe my experience in these shoes, it would be: Forward. Constantly and consistently, the shoe feels as if it’s main focus us to guide you forward. Even while walking, it almost feels effortless because of the natural tendency to move forward. After short runs of 4-5 miles, I somehow feel more energized, and my feet hardly experiences any aches or fatigue. The shoes are more comfortable ... MoreThe energy return is very substantial and almost surreal at full speed running.

The shoes are more comfortable than I expected and has a very balanced cushion from heel to toe. They are also surprisingly stable, even with the noticeable push off after every step. While I do feel like my times are faster after every run in these shoes, the main takeaway is how comfortable they are post-run and the feeling that I can run even more without worrying about fatigue coming on. I find myself looking forward to my next run more so than I have ever felt in the past. These shoes are very well engineered to help you keep running, to stay moving, to do more, and ultimately- to drive the passion forward.
This is an amazing shoe with the way Nike made the soles! The only problem is that I have very wide and flat feet so the shoe was very narrow on me.I have 3 ways that I judge a shoe: fit/comfort, design, functionality.Fit/comfort - As I mentioned above this is an incredibly comfortable shoe since Nike has done an outstanding job with the sole technology. The airzoom air unit, zoom x mid sole, and fly plate make for the perfect combination of comfort and stability. The zoom soles make it seem like you’re walking on cloud while the flyplate provides the stability you need to feel like you’re walking on solid ground. It’s a great feeling for outside runs and long walks. The only complaint I have is that this is made for narrower feet. My wide feet feel cramped in ... MoreThis is an amazing shoe with the way Nike made the soles!

My wide feet feel cramped in the shoe and my low arches make it painful to wear this for a long time. If Nike makes this in a wider width it would be perfect.Design - this shoe is from the future. The overall look is so innovative and it looks like a spaceship. The only downside is that it looks like a platform shoe because the soles are padded so high. The shoe is also extremely versatile and can be worn with a lot of different outfits.Functionality - other than jogging outside this shoe has little functionality. The high soles make your center of gravity too high so it’s hard to play sports in these shoes because cutting and quickly switching direction is so difficult. Running on hard pavement for long periods of time and running in a straight line is what this shoe is made forOverall it’s a great shoe. It’s a bit pricey but I think it’s because of the technology that went into it. I just wish it was wider.
I am not an enjoyment runner by any means and view it more as a have to than a want to. That being said I have never enjoyed a run as much as I did wearing this shoe. I have worn many brands of running shoe, including different Nikes. This shoe is different. Coming out of the box the shoe looks odd, neon orange is BRIGHT, but for a running that isn't a bad thing. The design of the sole is totally unique and when you wear it you know why. As soon as your foot slides in (very easily) and you lace them up, (doesn't feel like you even need to) you can tell this is not an average running shoe. I set out for what was a planned 2 mile run and ended up going 5. I was having too much fun with these. Every strike down your foot makes, the shoe is already propelling you ... MoreI am not an enjoyment runner by any means and view it more as a have to than a want to.

I set out for what was a planned 2 mile run and ended up going 5. I was having too much fun with these. Every strike down your foot makes, the shoe is already propelling you forward. It almost felt like cheating. The ergonomics are outstanding. Movement aside, the shoes are insanely comfortable. There is no specific pressure point on your foot, the whole shoe feels like your foot is in a featherweight pillow. I stayed on a road for the entirety of the run and the conditions were dry. I had zero complaints. My next run was indoor on a concrete track around a court. The traction wasn't great, but the track needed swept. Running on the concrete I felt the same comfort and lack of pressure anywhere on my feet. These shoes are ridiculous 11 out of 10.
When I first put these on, the feeling of stepping in them was a bit like first stepping onto a trampoline. I sunk into them and then surprisingly bounced back up a bit. It was a bit awkward at first, but nothing too extreme, just something to get accustomed to. Other than that, the break in period was minimal to non-existent. And once I got used to them, the AlphaFly Next% 2 were an absolute dream to run in, especially on concrete. For context, I have played soccer for about 16 or so years and in those years my knees have taken a lot of damage. As a result, I tend to avoid running on hard surfaces simply for the sake of comfort. However, walking around in this pair of shoes just felt so good that I had to try them on concrete.

As a result, I tend to avoid running on hard surfaces simply for the sake of comfort. However, walking around in this pair of shoes just felt so good that I had to try them on concrete. And for the first time in a long time, running on a sidewalk was comfortable. That, to me, was nothing short of amazing. The cushioning and structural systems of this shoe really do give you the feeling of being sprung in the direction you want to go, it is that good. Does it actually make you faster? I cannot say, but it certainly makes you feel faster and more importantly, it makes running fun.Of course the stuff going on underfoot is the star of this shoe, but a lot of other aspects of it are great too! I found the upper to be extremely breathable, keeping your feet nice and cool, adding to the comfort of running in these. It is also well structured, helping to maintain stability when changing directions or making other lateral movements. The heel is healthily cushioned, making for a comfortable fit and helping to avoid blisters in my time testing the shoes. Lastly, one of my favorite details is the textured laces, which hold their tension very well, making for a very consistent fit when the shoes are in use.In addition to all of this, the shoes look awesome as well. The midsole alone makes them look very futuristic, while the translucent upper allows for your socks to show through as well, making for some very unique potential looks. The colorway, too, being many shades of orange with black accents, adds its own twist on the look of the shoes, often bringing to my mind the palette of a sunset.In spite of all my praise for these shoes, they do, in fact, have some flaws. Very minor flaws, but flaws nonetheless. The first of which is the tongue. The tongue area of the shoes are padded, but the padding is insufficient in my experience and still left room for pressure from the laces to be felt at the top of my foot. This is easily remedied by adjusting the laces, but it is an annoyance, especially considering the price of the shoes. Additionally, I find that the opening of the shoe is a bit undersized, making them unnecessarily difficult to put on. Next, is the heel which, while nicely padded, is lined with a somewhat slick material that allows for more heel slippage than I am comfortable with.All in all, I do recommend the Nike Air Zoom AlphaFly Next% 2. However, I do have one major disclaimer for these shoes and it is not the $275 USD price tag. I have fairly narrow, arched feet and I can feel the sides of the midfoot touching my feet. So, if you have wide or flat feet or if you just don’t like shoes with low volume in the midfoot, these are absolutely not going to work for you. Otherwise, I absolutely recommend them 100% and if the need should arise, I will absolutely be looking to get another pair.
This shoe has a rare fit and feel that is unmatched by other outdoor running shoes. The Air Zoom Alpha Fly Next% 2 grips around your foot with ease and has a lasting comfort throughout your run, no matter the distance. You don’t get that clunky feel most running shoes have, rather you feel supported, and this shoe has a soft landed with every stride. The truly unique design makes this shoe a one-of-a-kind product that will have others frequently asking you what the name of that shoe is so they can go buy one. This shoe's brilliant design and various color schemes make it a must have shoe for both leisure and active wear. This shoe is built for long days with a comfortable feel around your foot and with every step. Walking on clouds isn’t as relaxing as this shoe is. ... MoreThis shoe has a rare fit and feel that is unmatched by other outdoor running shoes.

I enjoyed how nice it was to go for long run and come home without any pain, knee or foot, because of the support on both the bottom of the shoe and the back. Blisters are always a pain after a long run and this shoe has added support on the heel, so this never happens. Between the unique design and visually appealing color scheme, mixed in with the great support this shoe gives, I would recommend this shoe to anyone in the market for a one-of-a-kind shoe.
