Nike Releasing Special Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% Collections For 2020

To commemorate this year’s London Marathon made up exclusively of elite runners, Nike is prepping the release of some special colorways of the Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT%. Dubbed the “Lenya” and “1:59:40” colorways, both pairs commemorate London Marathon contestant Eliud Kipchoge, the man who achieved a sub-two-hour marathon time wearing prototypes of the Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT%. The “1:59:40” colorway is a nod to Kipchoge’s record-breaking time and is adorned in the exact same shades of white Atomknit upper and fluorescent pink accenting. Kipchoge’s time and his initials are featured on the heels of each pair as well as in the insole. The “Kenya” pair is color-blocked to represent the Kenyan flag of Kipchoge’s home country. Also dropping alongside the aforementioned pairs is a “Mango” colorway which is part of a larger “Fast Family” collection of Nike running shoes. That collection includes a ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT%, Tempo NEXT% OG and FlyKnit, and both men’s and women’s pairs of the Pegasus 37. The “Fast Family” pack is done entirely in the “Mango” colorway save for the Pegasus 37s which are done in black and light grey with the “Mango” shade appearing only on the Swooshes.

The Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% “1:59:40” releases October 11th followed by the “Fast Family” pack later this same month. The “Kenya” colorway of the marathon runner releases on Nike Great Britain on October 11th followed by a worldwide release in 2021.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
