Updated Nike Free Running Collection wants to make you a natural runner

Run with it

Summer is within sight, and if you’ve managed to keep your New Year’s running resolution until now, we reckon you deserve a treat. A new pair of trainers, perhaps? If that sounds like a grand idea, you might want to check out the new Nike Free Running collection. Designed to elicit a more authentic “barefoot-like” feel than previous iterations, the updated 2019 range – which includes the Free RN 5.0 (£95) and Free RN Flyknit 3.0 (£130) – both sport firmer, flatter foam cushioning in the midsoles to deliver a more naturalisitic range of motion. There’s also an aesthetic nod to the in-depth science behind the original shoes, with both pairs of sneakers featuring naturalistic design lines and a smaller Swoosh that symbolises the collection’s lower-mileage intent.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
