With the first peak in major marathon season currently taking place, the “super shoe” conversation is fully abuzz. By kitting the first two runners to ever surpass the 2-hour mark, the Three Stripes have jumped out to an early lead, but know that Nike isn’t going quietly by any means.

We just covered our first seeds of the Nike Alphafly 4, the next in the totemic series that partially inspired the arms race that adi, PUMA, Saucony, and On are all loading up within the context of. Assuredly, once that prototype design makes it off the feet of athletes and onto shelves, it’ll be among the biggest headlines of the year, but for now, the Alphafly 3 still has business to take care of.

Given its speedy bona fides, it’s no shock to see the AlphaFly 3 take a stab at “Volt,” ever the historic shade for its dominance at the 2012 Olympics. This specific application aligns with the next-gen tech that the model offers, visually representing that with dueling black-to-green gradients across the oversized Swoosh and within the super-stack sole unit.

The Nike Alphafly 3 “White/Volt/Black” is available now, retailing for $305. Hit the “Where To Buy” links below to grab yours.
