Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% Flyknit 'Rawdacious' - White - UK 6.5

While durable, the Alphafly NEXT% is primarily designed for racing. For everyday mileage, consider a dedicated daily trainer to preserve the performance features of these racing shoes.

The shoes should feel snug but not restrictive. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The Flyknit upper should conform to your foot without excessive pressure points.

The Zoom Air pods provide exceptional responsiveness and energy return, helping to reduce fatigue and enhance running economy during high-performance efforts.

Yes, the full-length carbon fiber plate contributes significantly to the shoe's propulsive feel. Many runners describe it as providing a 'rolling' sensation or a sense of forward momentum.

The AtomKnit upper is engineered for lightweight performance and breathability. While generally durable for its intended use, it is lighter and less robust than materials found on everyday trainers.

The 'Rawdacious' colorway was released on July 9, 2021.

This can sometimes occur with new shoes due to the air pods. If the noise persists and is bothersome after a few runs, check for any debris trapped in the sole or air pod area. If it's a defect, contact customer support.

Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, ensure the laces are evenly distributed and pulled snug. For a looser fit, ease the tension on the laces, particularly across the midfoot.

Ensure the shoes are clean and free of debris that could impede the function of the Zoom Air units or carbon plate. Mileage and impact can naturally reduce cushioning effectiveness over many hundreds of miles.
