Marathon great Eliud Kipchoge has unveiled the shoes he will use for this Sunday’s London Marathon in the British capital.
Kipchoge, the world marathon record holder, will be cladding a Kenyan flag-inspired Nike “Alpha fly N% Kenya”, custom made for him for this race.
“The shoes for Sunday’s competition. Inspired by colours of the Kenyan flag, representing (the) great people of this beautiful country and to celebrate one year anniversary of the achievement 1:59:40 in marathon distance by EK,” Kipchoge posted in his official Facebook page.
It is an Alpha fly N% shoe, just like the one he used during the Ineos 1:59 Challenge in Vienna last year.

The Kenyan distance running legend became the first man to run the marathon in under two hours after clocking 1:59:40.2 in Vienna.
This Sunday, Kipchoge comes face-to-face with Ethiopia’s distance running great Kenenisa Bekele, who is also the second fastest man in marathon.
