Since I missed out on the Next% 2's in the prototype colorway, all I want is a Next% 2 by you with a Flyknit upper. Randomly saw a picture of the 4% Flyknits and it got me all nostalgic for that.

Yeah, Alphafly 2 is in development. Main think with the Next gen of the Next% family will probably be the development of the plates. These were filled by Nike in the last few months.

but those a re very interesting, looks like they are exploring the monkey paw-like plate similar to the adios pro
the cut out in the middle for an air bubble looks weird and i can imagine it feeling weird at the ball of your foot
exciting times though

yeah they sold out but then restocked. It’s everywhere now at most local shops that typically stock at the VFN tier. Glad to see it not limited. On the other hand the Adios Pro sold out in 2 hours this morning.

Are they trying to patent carbon layup? Good luck with that.Yeah, Alphafly 2 is in development. Main think with the Next gen of the Next% family will probably be the development of the plates. These were filled by Nike in the last few months.
Looks like they want to continue to reduce flex lengthwise while introducing flex widthwise. I think that would be more beneficial in a stiffer foam like react.

is it safe to say if you like the current AF and love the forefoot pods to grab them while you can and maybe double because the second one migh tnot have it based on those designs?
or they'll like just do a small tweak on the AF2 and then have the third one have the big change like what nike usually does with their cycles?

In what ways is a nylon plate diff from carbon?
for one, its not carbon fiber....
but if you want a more serious answer, nylon plate isn't as rigid as the carbon one so it'll be slightly more flexible and you won't get as much of that "bounce" of each stride. it tends to work better for your daily training whereas the carbon plate would be more suited for the race days

The Zoom Fly 1 has a Nylon/Carbon Infused plate. The cushioning was revealed to be a combo of Lunar and a React carrier or vice versa. Their ride feels pretty rigid to me.
The Tempos have a Nylon plate too, no?

North face is doing something similar with the carbon Vectiv. Another thing Nike would have trouble patenting.

More flexible. Easier for everyday but still gives you that good spring.

No tempos have CF
Tempos definitely do not have a carbon plate. Pretty sure

the air zoom tempo has a composite plate
"The plate shifts from carbon to a composite — softer for added comfort over higher mileage — but still serves to provide stability and transition throughout a runner's full stride."

Composite being the call out over carbon used in three Alpha leads me to believe it's glass or aramid fibers most likely. Or a combo of.the air zoom tempo has a composite plate

I still think Seth D reviewed fakes. His plate had the stiffness of a cooked noodle when he cut it out.
