MINIMALIST / BAREFOOT RUNNING SHOES The Nike Free 4.0 V3 has a more cushioned barefoot-like feel compare to the other Nike Free family. It is more minimal than the Nike Free 5.0+ and more cushioned than the Nike Free 3.0, the Nike Free 4.0 Running Shoe provides the foot strengthening and flexibility benefits of natural motion without sacrificing underfoot protection or multi-surface traction. The main features and differences of the 4.0 compare to the other two Nike Free. Advanced Flexibility The flex groove outsole¡ªmade up of deep cuts along the length and width of the midsole¡ªenhances natural range of motion, encourages a smooth, efficient stride and helps maintain stability. Super-Low Profile A low-profile midsole delivers a more barefoot-like feel than the Nike Free 5.0+, with a 6mm offset between heel and forefoot height for a blend of cushioning and flexibility. Seamless Feel and Highly Breathable The seamless upper provides exceptional comfort and fit with minimal no-sew overlays. Unlike the previous version, the upper features large mesh panels on the midfoot that increase airflow for enhanced breathability.
What is Nike Free? Nike Frees are different than traditional athletic shoes. They¡¯re designed to let your feet move more freely and naturally, which means your muscles will be doing a bit more work than demanded of them in some other athletic shoes. Nike encourages you to get used to them gradually for a safer, more effective and more enjoyable experience. NIKE FREE ORIGINS After learning that Stanford athletes had been training barefoot on the university¡¯s golf course, three of Nike¡¯s most innovative and creative employees set out to develop a shoe that felt natural and weightless, similar to bare feet. In 2002, they examined a group of men and women with pressure measuring insoles taped to their feet, using high-speed cameras to capture images of each foot in motion. The team spent eight years studying the biomechanics of shoeless running. The results yielded a profound understanding of the foot¡¯s natural landing angle, pressure and toe position, allowing Nike designers to build an unconventional and flexible running shoe from the inside out.
