Notice the part I said about mechanically aided. A lighter shoe is not mechanically aided. And also doesn't cost half the month's mortgage or rent for a marginal benefit.
"half the month's mortgage..." Where do you live that $250-300 is half a month's rent?
Your mom's basement.
What's the mechanical part? The foam or plate?

Why any hobby jogger actually races in these shoes in beyond me. All your PRs will be mechanically aided and you're a fraud. That will be in the back of your head for the rest of your life. Just get some racing flats and cut the crap.
Let me see the shoes has been declared legal by WA (IAAF) a higher authority than your opinion which really doesn't count for anything important other than your holier than thou attitude. Wow, a lot of people will loose their sleep over it.

The Alphafly Kipchoge used is not what they will release. The prototype had >40mm stack height in the heel and 3 plates.
Maybe just stick with the tried and true Next versus a makeshift last-minute adjustment to the Alpha. Though, they prob will drop the price once the Alpha comes out.[/quote]
Kipchoge never used 3 plates, that was a myth pushed by nike to get multiple plates banned, the only way others would catch up.

Didn’t a dude broke the road 5k world record about a week or so ago wearing the Next% ?
If he broke the record in Alphaflys, the record would be void because the shoes are not available for general release.
