Nike is buzzing with nostalgia! The Nike AlphaFly 3 “The Sting” zooms into Summer 2025, blending retro flair with modern speed. Inspired by the 1970s original “The Sting,” this wild new runner ditches old-school tech but keeps the eye-popping look.
Bold green and orange hues wrap the upper in a woven mesh build. It’s not nylon like the OG, but it gets the job done—and turns heads. While the funky D-ring eyelets didn’t make the trip from the ’70s, the aged midsole gives it that vintage swagger. Think of it as your grandpa’s racing shoe… if grandpa ran marathons in Flyknit.
The max-cushioned ZoomX sole remains a highlight, featuring twin Zoom Air pods, a carbon Flyplate, and enough bounce to launch you into orbit—or just a fast 5K. The outsole even shows off a green-tinted core and waffle-like grip, because speed doesn’t mean slip.
The Nike Alphafly 3 “The Sting” lands in Summer 2025 at Nike.com and select retailers with a $295 price tag.
In closing, this pair combines heritage colors with cutting-edge comfort. Runners and collectors alike, prepare to swarm!
