Nike Alphafly 3 v Alphafly 2 v Alphafly 1: Comparisons

In this video I compare the Nike Alphafly 3 with the previous iterations, the Nike Alphafly 2 and Nike Alphafly 1. I go through some of the details which may help you make a choice. If the Alphafly 1 is the one for you, act fast, as they are becoming scarce. The Alphafly 3 is yet to go on widespread sale. The Alphafly 2 is readily available but, spoiler alert, is not the pick of the bunch. I previously made videos on the Alphafly 3, one an initial review and the second a comparison to the Vaporfly 3. I link those videos at the end. In this video I have some detailed footstrike footage at modest and sprinting paces and I also record the sounds that the shoes make. As always there are chapter markers down below so you can skip through to the parts you might be interested in.
