"Insights and feedback from the largest-ever women’s testing pool for a Nike racing shoe helped improve the comfort of the Nike Alphafly 3 for all marathoners — from better arch support and toe protection...
Looks like a July 3rd release date. Might have to send the Volt Alphafly's back for the blueprint CW.

My favorite rotation was VF1, ER1, Peg35/PegTurbo. They were ALL so light compared to all the heavy clunkers we've been getting. Invincibles have been good, but for an easy run on pavement, I'd go with the ER1 over Invincible. I'm just hoping Nike is going to swing back to giving us lighter...
IDK about anyone else (I don't follow this thread closely), but I just purchased 2 pairs of the BRS Peg Turbo Next Natures for 60$ with the 20% off on top of the steep discount. Man, good midsole but that is the worst upper I've encountered, maybe ever. I could NOT get my feet into the damn...
I 100% agree. Poor design choice with the staircase shape in the foam. I've run maybe 50 miles in mine and the stairs are basically worn flat in that area. It doesn't change the performance of the shoe for me. I did a 1 hour steady tempo on Friday in VFNXT 1's on the trail, a 2.5 hour long run...
Off topic, but I've noticed on NDC that when I've got certain colorways added to my favorites, I'm able to add them to my cart and purchase them despite them not being listed on the standard page for that product. Example, I'm able to add the Breaking2 and Total Orange VFNXT2 to my cart when...
I agree, VF3s are good. I've done a long run and a couple steady-state runs in them. Definitely softer in the forefoot. Really seemed like the forefoot cushioning in the v1 and v2 was concentrated right under the ball of my foot. In the v3, to me it feels like there's more cushioning but it's...
Did you do that from your Favorites page? The Favorites page on NDC is buggy and always has been. You can click the Select Size button for shoes that aren't available and it lets you add them to your cart. You'll get errors when you go to your cart though.
Pretty sure that’s not 12 hours in the midsole but 12 minute. Probably Kipchoges 5km time from the world champs when he beat KB and Hicham El Guerrouj. Also the CW looks to be a throw back to the old Nike Marathon flats like Meb and Paula used to wear
The originals:
That's from Bob Hodge's web page where he has Bill Rodger's full training log from 1975 leading up to his 2:09 in Boston. If you've never seen it, it's an interesting read. He trained like an animal:

My Alphafly 2's came in today. Damn, I have to immediately disagree with the bad reviews**. Obviously I wish the shoe was a little lighter, but IMO they completely fixed this shoe. It actually feels like a traditional shoe now. The first version for me felt so freekin weird in the forefoot. I...
With all the negative feedback for the ZF5 I picked up a pair Saucony Endorphin Speed 2 for $80 during the Saucony half off sale. Damn, those are the lightweight, uptempo trainers I've been looking for. IMO they're better than any version of the ZF. Earth to Nike... give us a full ZoomX shoe...
Despite my original dislike for the Invincibles, I've been training a ton in them this year. Easy runs, fartleks, tempo, long runs, almost any type of run. My hope for the ZF5 is that it's essentially a stripped down version of the Invincible with a plate in it. The geometry of the ZF5 in those...
