Nike is adding two new shoes to its marathon racing lineup. The Nike Apex and the Swooshfly. The Apex is the Alphafly taken up a notch with double the Air Zoom Units, a 0mm drop, yet even lighter weight.
The Swooshfly is an entry-level racing shoe for runners looking to run their first marathon in a more stable and comfortable shoe. It uses new beaded TPU SkyX foam, a more flexible carbon plate, and Vaporweave upper. It’s only $145 though which is crazy.
