You, too, can take on your next race in the same shoes that claim the fastest marathon time. Are they the sole reason for Kipchoge's success? No, but the performance goes hand-in-hand. It's no surprise that these race-ready super shoes are tied to another Kipchoge record, thanks to key updates in the midsole showcasing more ZoomX foam under the two Zoom Air pods for improved bounce and heel-to-forefoot transitions.
Kipchoge's been a faithful Nike runner for quite some time, even setting the previously-mentioned sub-two hour pace in a pair of prototype Next%s - the previous iteration to the Next% 2s. Through every stride and step, he was accompanied by a familiar companion in the Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next% 2 running shoes. Well, Kipchoge didn't run the entire race alone per se. While pacemakers dropped off the course around 25k, forcing him to run solo for the remainder of the race, Kipchoge fought through the struggles, powering through with superhuman effort to surpass his previous world record by 30 seconds, ironically also set at the Berlin Marathon in 2018.
Leading wire-to-wire, Kipchoge's pace was streamlined and destined for the record books.
