Barefoot running enthusiasts will love the flexible, ultra-lightweight feel of the Nike® Free 4.0 v2 and the Nike® Free 4.0 v3 running shoes. With its innovative flex grooves that allow maximum natural movement, the Nike® Free 4.0 gives the runner a smooth ride with minimal interference between you and the pavement.
The Nike® Free 4.0 v2 is constructed with a breathable perforated mesh upper, enabling the shoe to bend and move with you during every stride. The Nike® Free 4.0 v3, the latest and greatest model of Nike® shoes, features a lightweight, linear mesh upper for exceptional fit.
The footwear blends the feel of barefoot running with additional shock absorption, traction and underfoot protection so you can run longer, faster. The Nike® Free 4.0 is available models designed specifically for male and female runners and in a variety of bold colors. The shoe also includes reflective elements to increase visibility after dark.
Buying Considerations
The Nike® Free 4.0 running shoes feature an asymmetrical lacing system that reduces pressure on the top of the foot. A flexible inner sleeve hugs the foot for increased support and fit when you're in motion.
The shoe's low-profile mid-sole doubles as its outsole – a unique feature designed to reduce the shoe's overall weight for maximum barefoot feel.
As with any running gear, you need breathable fabrics to keep you comfortable during long runs. Perforated ventilation zones on the Nike® Free 4.0 will keep your foot cool when you're hitting the trails or track.
