When it comes to running shoes why take anything less than the best? The Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% will have you gearing up for your next personal best. The best running shoe on the market features responsive foam that combines two Zoom Air units to push your running game forwards (literally). The sneaker is so good it’s been scrutinized and even considered “technical doping” for being built to move faster than a normal running shoe. The Air Zoom Alphafly Next% is based on the shoes worn by the Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge, who is the first man to run a marathon in under two hours in an unofficial race last fall. The shoes were nearly two minutes quicker than his previous world record in a ‘legal’ shoe.

As a result, the shake promises a smooth texture that won’t stick to the corners. Beverages stay at their ideal temperatures thanks to the tumbler’s BPA-free steel construction and copper lining.
