Nike Alphafly 3 Prototype White Orange First, october 12, 2019. Vienna. Eliud Kipchoge crossed the line in 1:59:40 in a shoe that didn't officially exist yet. The Nike Alphafly 3 Prototype White Orange recreates that exact colorway — white and Total Orange, the palette of the moment that permanently shifted what runners believed was possible. In fact, this is the most historically significant colorway in marathon shoe history — worn the day the two-hour barrier was broken for the first time. ZoomX + Dual Air Zoom Pods + Carbon Plate: Three Propulsion Systems Additionally, zoomX foam is Nike's lightest and most responsive compound — PEBA-based, engineered for maximum energy return. Dual forefoot Air Zoom pods add explosive propulsion at toe-off, amplifying the foam's return with mechanical force. The full-length carbon fiber plate locks the system together, directing every joule of energy forward. Atomknit 3.0 upper: ultra-light woven fit that locks in at race pace. 218 g. 8 mm drop. 40 mm heel stack. Built for one purpose — the fastest possible marathon. For Who?
