The Nike Alphafly 3 Tremendous Shoe carried Abdi Nageeye to victory on the 2024 TCS New York Metropolis Marathon on Sunday.
Nageeye completed the race in 2:07:39, beating Adidas runner Evans Chebet in a detailed end.
The athlete turns into the primary Dutch runner to ever win the New York Metropolis marathon. The race marked an emotional comeback for the 35-year-old runner, who dropped out of the marathon on the Paris Video games this summer season because of hip ache.
For his massive day, Nageeye selected the Swooshâs Alphafly 3 â Nikeâs lightest shoe within the Alphafly franchise. It options the modelâs Atomknit in addition to notched laces and an built-in knit tongue with lofted padding. Nike added three improvements to the shoe, together with two forefoot Air Zoom items. These are paired with heel-to-toe ZoomX midsole foam. The third innovation is a full-length carbon fiber plate.
Simply final month, Ruth Chepngetich broke the womenâs world record on the Chicago Marathon within the Alphafly 3. The shoe was first worn by Kelvin Kiptum final October throughout the 2023 Chicago Marathon, when he broke the boysâs marathon world document with a time of two:00:35.
The Nike Alphafly 3 is accessible in ladiesâs and malesâs sizing, and retails for $285.
Greater than 50,000 runners from world wide are collaborating within the 2024 TCS New York Metropolis Marathon. Olympic gold medalist and New Stability star Gabby Thomas, who appeared on FNâs November 2023 cover, is serving as grand marshal for the race.
