The Nike Free 5.0

Nike first introduced the Nike Free shoe in 2005, bringing to life the concept of training barefoot to strengthen the feet and legs coupled with the protection and traction of a lightweight performance shoe.

New for 2009 is a unique tongue construction that is engineered to reduce pressure over the top ridge of the foot, while also contributing added support by wrapping up around the medial arch.

Also new with the Nike Free 5.0 are bonded, soft, microfiber synthetic overlays inside the upper using ultra-sonic welding wherever possible creating a no-sew environment that maximizes comfort. These overlays are strategically placed to balance the fit, durability and support of the shoe with the dynamic flexibility of the foot in order to maintain the mobility and flexibility of being barefooted.

The Nike Free 5.0 is available at retail globally, beginning May 2009.
