Nike has been one of the pioneers in minimalist footwear. In 2004, when hardly anyone was talking about it and thanks to the observation of athletes running barefoot at Stanford University, the American brand presented its Nike Free model to offer more natural movement and great lightness. Since then, the Nike Free range has continued to evolve, with different versions appearing , from 3.0 to 4.0 and 5.0.
Now, the new update of this successful family receives the name of Nike Free RN Distance, which continues to maintain the strengths of its predecessors such as great flexibility, optimal lightness, smoother transition and a perfect fit, like a sock.
In the Nike Free RN Distance, flexibility comes from its unique Lunarlon cushioning and hexagonal grooves, which provide a more natural foot motion, more comfort and more smoothness. That's why this new Nike Running model is designed for long-distance running.
In addition to making the shoe lighter in weight, the Lunarlon cushioning system also reinforces the section of a softer reactivity in each kilometer run. The combination of a lightweight Phylon structure, fused with soft foam, translates into more comfortable cushioning and more durable support for longer runs.
In its upper, the Nike Free RN Distance incorporates the innovative single-layer Knit fabric, which helps keep feet cooler. But also Flywire cables in the laces, which wrap around the foot, resulting in a more consistent fit and more adaptable to the natural movement of the foot.
In short, the Nike Fre RN Distance is Nike Running 's flagship for having a training shoe with supreme flexibility and a more natural movement to cover long distances.
