Introducing Nike Apex

Nike Apex is Nike’s pinnacle expression of race-day innovation, created for marathon runners chasing every possible second. Its lightweight system combines a pair of double-stacked Air Zoom units, ZoomX LT foam, a redesigned carbon fibre Flyplate and a Flyknit X upper.

Nike Apex is the first racing shoe to feature two double-stacked Air Zoom units — the most Air ever applied in the forefoot of a Nike running shoe. The platform is designed to compress, store and return energy, delivering up to 40% more energy return than Alphafly 3 in a men’s size 10.

Light and fast. A zero-drop, 40mm platform provides consistent support from heel to forefoot, pairing cushioning and impact protection with unreal responsiveness, while a wider outsole, rocker geometry and tuned carbon fibre Flyplate support forward drive and stability.

Nike Apex will be available in January 2027 at nike.com and select retail locations.
