The Nike Air ZoomX AlphaFly NEXT% “Ekiden” is unveiled and it’s a special variation of the silhouette which pays homage to the Ekiden, a Japanese relay that’s all about teamwork and friendly rivalry—resulting in a shared feeling of harmony and uplift. This annual sporting event begins in October and concludes through the new year. Overall, the runner sports an official color scheme of “Amarillo/Magma Orange-Healing Orange-Black,” while the theme is further evident on the insoles and heel pull tabs. Finally, 3M reflective accents on the Swooshes and eyelets add another element to the design.
