Big_G Nov 2021 9:29am, 25 Nov 2021 1,253 posts	0 Big_G I am tempted with those at that price, but I've not tried them before. It is my birthday soon and I was going to get a new pair of Vaporflys, but I am tempted with those Alphas. I know it is subjective and they've been around for some time now, but how do people on here find the differences between the AF and VFs? I worry the AFs look quite clunky, but I do know others who say that they find them totally fine to run in.
fuzzyduck79 Nov 2021 9:29am, 25 Nov 2021 559 posts	0 fuzzyduck79 Yep Alphafly as low as £156 delivered and reasonable availability size wise. That's a very good price. Interesting that the Vaporfly Next% are excluded from promotions, if you want a pair of fuglies in garish red it's 269.95 and not a penny less. TopCashback are also offering 15% cashback on all Nike purchases for 24 hours, it might not track but I can't see anything in the T&Cs saying no code/promo stacking.
fuzzyduck79 Nov 2021 9:32am, 25 Nov 2021 560 posts	0 fuzzyduck79 Big_G I think AF feel a bit more of a lump and marginally more unstable, they weigh about 10% more than VF. Probably a smidge quicker than VF for me, but not a lot in it.
fuzzyduck79 Nov 2021 10:14am, 25 Nov 2021 562 posts	0 fuzzyduck79 The 15% cashback seems to track fine, so brings the AF price down to £132 - roughly half the original price
Windsor Wool Nov 2021 10:55am, 25 Nov 2021 5,298 posts	0 Windsor Wool thanks chaps, I just purchased my 1st pair of AF (flyknit) on the back of this chat. Hopefully they'll encourage me to continue on the comeback trail
Big_G Nov 2021 11:58am, 25 Nov 2021 1,255 posts	0 Big_G I have just ordered a pair. In the unlikely event I don't like them I will send them back and use my birthday code on a pair of Vapoflys instead (presuming the code will work on them, like it usually does) .
fuzzyduck79 Nov 2021 12:04pm, 25 Nov 2021 564 posts	0 fuzzyduck79 Think Nike have stopped taking birthday codes on Promo Exclusions, which has meant no discounts on Vaporfly in recent months, but might change in the future.
Maccathecracker Nov 2021 12:09pm, 25 Nov 2021 672 posts	0 Maccathecracker Tempted here too but with just 59 miles on last years Vaporfly Next I couldn’t justify it to myself. The peg 37s at £55 for a training shoe were a different story though (current pair on 1800 miles 👀).
