The range of Nike Free running shoes is growing. The Nike Free Hyperfeel Running shoes for men bring you closer to minimalism, to a more natural way of running without sacrificing comfort. We also have 3 versions:
You'll be protected with a Lunarlon insole that replaces the traditional midsole and sockliner to reduce the number of layers and the amount of adhesive for lightweight comfort. The thin waffle outsole uses less rubber than traditional outsoles for greater flexibility and lightweight strength with all-surface traction.
Compressive Flyknit upper features highly elastic yarns that mold to the foot for firm support like a compression sock. Highly elastic, good support and ventilation where it's needed most.
Nike continues to bet on the good results that Flyknit technology is giving them. With it they already managed to lighten the weight of their Running shoes with drop and now what they do is significantly reduce the cushioning of the midsole (they keep a thin layer of Lunarlon) and the outsole becomes a thin rubber extension with good abrasion resistance and several flex lines.
It also allows the insole to be removed so that purists can get even more sensitivity and flexibility. However, those die-hard drop fans will have to wait. The NikeFree Hyperfeel has a 4mm drop for a height of about 16 mm. That is to say that although not much, they have cushioning.
Regarding the upper, the same magnificent sensations as for example the Nike Flyknit Air Max or the Nike Flyknit Lunar 2 + more than an upper we will have the feeling of having a compression sock.
Nike Flyknit technology is inspired by the opinions of runners who have long been looking for a shoe with a very tight fit and the feeling of not wearing anything, ie as close to a sock. Nike embarked on a four-year project with teams of programmers, engineers and designers to create technology that would help build a woven upper with static properties for structure and durability. Later, the precise placement of supports, ventilation elements and flexibility were fine-tuned, all in a single layer. The result is an extremely lightweight, close-fitting, one-piece, seamless upper.
Nike has thus achieved a very lightweight shoe that weighs less than 185 gr in a size 9 USA.
Its official retail price will not be cheap and will need to scratch your pocket: 180 eruos.
Nike Free Free Hyperfeel Trail
And this time Nike has not forgotten the trail lovers. For the mountain model the American company has introduced a number of variants such as multi studs in the sole. The version for mountain runners incorporates a one-piece sole with small studs. Thus they have achieved a final midsole and outsole height of 21 mm in the heel area and 18 mm in the front of the shoe for a final drop of 3 mm.
In the upper we will also find the super adjustable Flynit technology but with a series of reinforcements that will prevent us from hurting us with stones or branches. They also incorporate in the ankle part a kind of sock that protects the ankle. It is cosi if it were a basketball boot but with the lightness and fit of a compression stocking in that area.
Its weight is 204 gr in a size 9 USA.
Price Nike Free Hyperfeel Trail
And its price is 20 euros cheaper than the asphalt model 160 euros 160 euros 160 euros.
And thinking about the boom that are taking sports activities such as crossfit or other related to fitness, Nike will launch in May the Nike Free Hypefeel Cross ?lite. So far we have only seen the women's version, which we show you below.
