Nike's previous marathon super shoe pairs a full ZoomX stack with forefoot Air Zoom pods and a carbon Flyplate. Fast, smooth and stable for a racer, and increasingly discounted now the Alphafly 4 has arrived.

A carbon-plated trainer built for tempo work and long runs with pace. Durable and versatile enough to double as a budget race shoe, though the ride is firmer and less bouncy than newer rivals.
Nike's long-distance trail shoe gets more ZoomX, a wider base and a fresh Vibram Megagrip outsole. Very stable and grippy for long days on mixed ground, but it is one of the heavier trail shoes around.
Nike's premium stability shoe wraps a soft ZoomX layer in raised sidewalls for gentle, unobtrusive support. Very comfortable and durable for long easy miles, though heavy and a little dull once the pace lifts.
Nike's tallest road shoe stacks ZoomX and Air Zoom into a towering, ultra-cushioned platform for easy miles. Superb impact protection and deep comfort, but heavy, pricey and best kept to gentle, shorter-than-marathon easy runs.
A traditional support trainer with a full ReactX midsole, firm guidance at the heel and midfoot, and plenty of width options. Durable and dependable for heel strikers who want everyday stability.
A full-ZoomX daily trainer that now adds a curved Air Zoom unit under the forefoot for a springier toe-off. Comfortable and roomy, though it is happier cruising than doing fast intervals.
A Pegasus built for dirt: ReactX foam, a grippier All Terrain Compound outsole and a wider base. Brilliant for towpaths, park loops and door-to-trail runs.
The workhorse gets a full-length Air Zoom unit and extra forefoot foam: a lively, dependable everyday trainer that handles easy runs and the odd tempo without fuss.
