The Nike Free running shoe is specifically tailored to provide a close-to-barefoot sensation, drawing inspiration from the training routine of Stanford athletes. Released in March 2013, the Free 5.0 model showcases a vibrant Total Crimson mesh upper, enhanced by the inclusion of light-colored Flywire cables for secure lockdown, and is adorned with a black Swoosh branding. With a rating of 5.0 out of 10 on the Nike Free scale, this shoe's sole strikes a perfect balance between the characteristics of a minimalist shoe and a neutral runner.
