If anyone could convince you that any dream is achievable, it’s Eliud Kipchoge. The Kenyan runner responsible for breaking the two-hour marathon barrier in 2019 is moving to a new stage of his career, writing an autobiography and taking on a teacher and mentor role for young athletes. His latest collaboration with Nike is a celebration of Kipchoge’s spirit, taking its name from his motto and the title of his autobiography, “No Human is Limited.”

Eilud Kipchoge x Nike Alphafly 3 "No Human is Limited"
The motivational saying is written on the multi-colored midsole of Kipchoge’s new Alphafly 3 colorway, dripping in sherbet shades of orange, yellow, pink, and blue. The visible Air bubble in the forefoot gets a pink tint, while the large lateral side Swoosh dips into the midsole with a vibrant slime green. The knit upper is a little more subtle, blending creams and pale purples, with green accents on the tongue and toebox logo. The mix of a fully retooled Atomknit upper for stability and breathability with a stacked ZoomX sole for ultimate cushioning has made the Alphafly 3 a go-to racer for runners around the globe.
Kipchoge crushed the two-hour marathon record by 2 minutes in a pair of prototype Alphafly Next% at Nike’s famed Breaking Two event in 2017, and has been one of the faces of the Nike running line since. Over the years, he’s launched collaborative versions of the Alphafly 2, Vaporfly 3 Next%, and a full collection of running shoes.
The Eliud Kipchoge x Nike Alphafly 3 “No Human is Limited” is slated for a Holiday 2025 release. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $295. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
