Often appearing in bright, vivid, highlighter-like shades, Nike Running shoes have never experienced trouble in gaining eyeballs from onlookers in the street. Colorway choices have always been a strong suit of the Swoosh, and with the AlphaFly 3, they’re getting a bit risky in a good way.

The current top-shelf model of the Nike Running catalog is ready to appear in its most lifestyle-friendly option yet. Shades of Light Army, Ironstone, Light Khaki, and Desert Moss are typically seen in the likes of the Air Force 1 and Air Max 95, but when applied to a pure performance model, the combination takes on new life as it adorns the full-body ZoomX foam midsole and the mega lightweight upper.

Nike typically delivers these colorways in sets, so don’t be alarmed if a similar motif appears on the VaporFly 3 all the way down to the more accessible Pegasus 41 models. Given the Premium tag, an MSRP will likely start at $285 this Spring 2025 season.
