Nike Free Run+ 2
Nike Frees. Aaah. Just thinking of them makes my heart skip a beat. I’ve been in love with this shoe from day one. They can change its color and modify a few elements with every update, but I never ever tire of them. My various pairs (and I have over five—teehee) have been with me everywhere from malls to marathons.
Nike Frees are meant for running, really. But, I’ll tell you a little secret. I’ve only used mine less than a handful of times for training. While I would love to practice minimalist running more often, I prefer to use my tried-and-tested training shoes and I have little time for any experimentation with my feet. My training sched is pretty much consistent: mile repeats on Tuesday, hills or tempo on Thursday, 10k run on Saturday, long slow run on Sundays. I can’t figure out how to squeeze a 3 to 5k barefoot/minimalist run in the mix.
I use my Nike Frees regularly though. These are my walking/ shopping/ travel/ chase-after-the-kids shoe of choice. If there was a Favorite Running Shoe Even When You’re Not Running Award, the Nike Free would win it for me hands down. They’re light, comfortable, soft, and super easy to wear. I wear barely seen socks (although good friend Drew Arellano said I shouldn’t ever wear any!), slip into them quickly, and leave the house in no time.
I found this little piece in my Inbox today. New models of Nike Free Run+2 are out this summer! Turning cartwheels already.
