I have long admired the ability of Harry Styles fans to spot him in a crowd, no matter where in the world the singer is. This past weekend, keen eyes found him running the Tokyo Marathon, of all things. Now, I don't know how Styles placed in term of his running time, but being Harry Styles, he obviously placed very high in his marathon-running look.

If you ever wondered what kind of shoes a world-famous pop star trusts enough to run a marathon in, I have the answer for you: Nike Alphafly 3 sneakers. They're the shoes that Styles wore in Tokyo, as some fans were able to distinguish, and if they're good enough for him, they're definitely good enough for you.

The Alphafly 3's are available in nine colors currently, and I'm seeing them sell out before my eyes—you might have to compete with Harries and serious marathon runners alike, if not Styles himself, to get these if you wait too long. Styles wore the neon-yellow pair, which are listed on Nike's site as being the women's edition, but don't fret. They're all unisex, and the men's sizes are listed right there, too. More colors, however, can be found in the men's Alphafly 3 listing.

Aside from the killer looks of these sneakers, they're full of technical features that'll make your run better than ever. Nike designed this shoe specifically for marathons, so you know they're built to take you all the way. Two Air Zoom units fuel your speed, and a built-in carbon-fiber plate designed to offer a propulsive sensation ensures a smooth, speedy stride, even when you have to make a sharp turn. And even though these shoes look quite chunky, they're super lightweight, thanks to Nike's cushiony ZoomX foam—you won't get weighed down, and you'll have an extra pep in your step for all 26.2 miles.
