People who like to run yearn for being able to gallop freely and enjoy the primitive feeling of nature. For runners, running shoes can play a good protective role in both feet, but sometimes they become a "burden". The birth of the Nike Free series is due to the designer's pursuit of speed based on the original concept, and the pursuit of speed, and the restraints of the runner's feet, giving people a primitive "barefoot" experience. This pair of Free RN is an important representative of the Free series. Let’s experience it together today.
1. First impression
mainly uses blue tones, which is less outstanding compared to the fashionable appearance of the Nike family.
The traditional double-layer mesh upper design, I don’t know if it will surprise people in terms of breathability; the application of Flywrie technology can improve the fit of the shoes.
only has a thin layer of leather on the heel of
, which has slightly poor stability and protection for the feet. Free soles with
EVA material should have good cushioning performance.
only adds wear-resistant rubber to the heel and toes. Other parts adopt deep texture design and different triangle shapes. The wear resistance and grip of the shoes should not be very good, and the easy bending performance is worth looking forward to.
2. Feel the foot on the foot
better fit feeling, strong wrapping ability; harder foot feeling experience; excellent flexural
I usually wear Nike running shoes of size 41, and this review also wears size 41, and the length is appropriate. The foot feels very light on the shoes. Flywrie can adjust the tightness of the shoes well, increase the fit feeling of the feet, and improve the wrapping of the shoes. Because the upper uses traditional double-layer mesh material and a thicker tongue, the overall experience gives people the foot covering experience.
cut patterned EVA material sole shows a harder foot feeling, but it has a good enjoyment in the ease of the shoe. Free sole only adds wear-resistant rubber to parts that are prone to wear during running, and the overall wear resistance is worrying.
Editor's recommendation: Just choose the shoe size according to the normal size.
shoes are all about this. Let’s start the actual running test below to experience the performance of the shoes specifically · · · · · 0 3. Practical review
0-5 kilometers: a better barefoot experience, a "sultry" foot feeling
In view of the "barefoot" design of the shoes, the editor decided to run at a pace of 500.
Single running shoes weighing about 198 grams, after putting on the feet, the shoes and the feet are tightly fit together through Flywrie adjustments. It feels very light and a "barefoot" experience when running. The multi-directional deep cut lines of the Free sole are very ergonomic design and greatly increase the smoothness of the steps. In this good experience, I unknowingly increased the pace to 440, which was much beyond my expectations (I really didn't feel it when I ran in the furnace sky of more than 30 degrees in Fuzhou).
However, my feet were surrounded by the upper and thicker tongue of the double mesh structure, and sent me a distress signal (SOS) - it's really too hot, what about turning on the heating in summer? You should be able to see the breathability of the shoes! ! !
5-10 kilometers: soft and comfortable flooring experience, smooth grip and poor wear resistance performance
After the first 5 kilometers of running-in, although the feet felt very "sultry", the Free soles gave a spring breeze feeling at this time. As the temperature increases during running, EVA materials show a softer feel, which is much more comfortable than the harder feel when you first put it on.
Due to the multi-directional deep cut patterns of the Free sole and the inward concave design of the midsole, the transition between the feet from the ground to the midfoot and the final pushing, both of them are very stable and smooth. In addition, the triangular cutting of the sole also gives people a "sink" experience when landing, dispersing a lot of impact force from landing, but the EVA material does not have too much rebound feedback, and invisibly consumes more physical strength.
test last 1 kilometer, the editor easily increased the pace to 400. In addition to feeling a good "barefoot" experience, he also felt that the shoes ignored more foot protection designs in order to pursue the "barefoot" experience, which increased the chance of injury during high-speed running.
After 47 minutes, the 10-kilometer test was completed. The soft Free sole showed not as bad as expected. Since wear-resistant rubber materials were added to the two easily worn parts of the sole heel and toes, this requirement for running and landing is greatly improved, and the overall wear resistance of the shoes is not very good.
4. Evaluation summary
10 kilometers of test ended, and I am quite satisfied with the performance of Nike Free RN.
The appearance design and color matching of the shoes are relatively average, without particularly outstanding highlights; the double-layer mesh upper and thicker tongue design greatly reduce the breathability of the shoes; the lighter body is equipped with Flywrie design to improve the wrapping of the shoes, and also gives people the enjoyment of "barefoot"; although the
Free sole does not have too much stability protection, it still shows good softness and cushioning; the multi-directional deep-cut texture enhances the smoothness of the gait and improves the efficiency of running; the disadvantages of poor wear resistance of the Free sole are also more obvious; overall, the comfort of the shoes give people a good "barefoot" enjoyment.
editor suggests:
Nike Free RN: Suitable for people with normal foot and normal gait; not suitable for people with large weight and insufficient leg strength;
Nike Free RN: Suitable for daily casual running and speed training;
Nike Free RN is officially priced at 899 yuan, and now you can enjoy a 65% discount when buying the Suer APP quickly, only 585 yuan. It’s better to act than to be 585 yuan. If you like it, come and buy it!
