Nike Free Run - Women's

Women's Nike Free Run - New Zealand

Nike Free running shoes allow your feet to move the way they want, while delivering the cushioning they need for a more natural run.

After learning that Stanford athletes had been training barefoot on the university’s golf course, Nike’s most innovative employees set out to develop a shoe that mimicked a bare foot. The team spent eight years studying the biomechanics of runner’s feet in motion using pressure-measuring insoles and high-speed cameras, with the result being a flexible running shoe designed for natural movement. Putting less shoe between your foot and the ground, your feet are able to move the way they were meant to. With the results leading to a profound understanding of the foot’s natural landing angle, pressure and toe position, Nike Free running shoes were designed as an unconventional running shoe from the inside out.

With a numbering system that indicates the cushioning of the shoe, Free 3.0 is the least cushioned, and closest to barefoot running, while Free 5.0 the most cushioned. Deep slices and reverse flex grooves encourage flexion and extension, while a lightweight seamless upper tops the flexible outsole.

Merging the natural, healthy motion of a bare foot with the protection of traditional footwear, Nike Free running shoes won’t fail to become a workout essential. Available in an array of fashion-forward colours and patterns, THE ICONIC is your one-stop shop for the perfect pair.
