Still feeling pretty sad with all that has happened recently.
But I really need to get back out there and lay down some miles, Half marathon coming up on September 15th and the Full on October 13th. I know I can do the miles it is more of getting the training in to better my finishing time.
The weather hasn't been very helpful either 95 plus degrees and humidity through the roof, makes for a sweaty mess at the end of the run. I will get out there later today and try to get 4 or 5 miles in.
Anyway, my subject for today is the new Nike Free FlyKnit+ shoe. These new shoes look really cool and comfortable, but the price seems a bit steep at $160 especially since they claim there is little to no waste with their new proprietary knitting machines. I will probably wind up buying a pair just to see how they function and feel. Nike has been pushing the natural ride and the barefoot style of running and this is their latest product improvement. I like the way it look and the way they say it fits snugly around your foot like a sock.
More to come once I get these on my feet. Please let me know if you have any feedback on these.
Nike Free FlyKnit+ Running Shoes
FIT MEETS FLEX FOR A MORE SUPER NATURAL RIDE
The revolution of Flyknit continues in the Nike Free Flyknit+ Running Shoe, combining the second-skin fit of Flyknit construction and ultimate flexibility of Nike Free.
SECOND-SKIN FIT
The revolutionary Nike Flyknit upper delivers a compressive, second-skin fit that secures your foot over the Nike Free midsole. Made entirely of polyester yarn, the one-piece upper seamlessly integrates areas of high breathability, stretch and support where you need it most.
NATURAL RIDE
The upper, midsole and outsole work together to create a more natural ride. For ultimate flexibility, the shoe's Nike Free 5.0 midsole features flex grooves to promote natural motion and help increase stability and foot strength.
LIGHTWEIGHT SUPPORT
Ultra-light Flywire cables are woven into the Flyknit upper and connect to the laces, offering a dynamic, supportive fit that adapts to your foot's movements.
LESS WASTE
To construct the upper, polyester yarn is fed into a proprietary knitting machine, creating little to no waste and minimizing weight so the shoe's incredibly efficient to produce.
FLYKNIT ORIGINS
Nike Flyknit was inspired by feedback from runners requesting a shoe with the snug (and virtually unnoticed) fit of a sock. Nike embarked on a four-year mission with teams of programmers, engineers and designers to create the technology needed to make the knit upper with static properties for structure and durability. Then the precise placement of support, flexibility and breathability-all in one layer-was refined. The result was a featherweight, form-fitting and virtually seamless upper.
