This shoe was inspired by the southwest Anastasi native peoples known for running long distances in bare feet. The Men’s Nike Free 5.0 V4 Running Shoe defies gravity as it enhances foot and leg strengthening.
Want to train and run barefoot? Well, that’s what it almost feels like with The Nike Free 5.0 V4 Men’s Running Shoe. The shoe simulates barefoot running, which work more leg muscle and increase strength. More strength means more speed for you.

This shoe is a perfect fit if you’re a runner who wants the strengthening and gait management benefits associated with barefoot training, but who also needs the cushioning, traction and underfoot protection of a shoe.

The shoe features a new unique forefoot upper venting system, a featherweight Phylite midsole which by engineering forms a pattern of lateral and longitudinal flex grooves, which enhances the durability of the shoe.

The strategically placed Waffle traction helps forefoot cushioning. This enables the Nike Men’s Free 5.0 V4 to mimic the motion of the bare foot. Running like you’re bare footed, with conscious forefoot strikes, strengthens the feet and lower legs. This in turn reduces injuries and improves performance. Add the medial variable lacing system and waffle outsole, and you’ve got the fit with cushioning that’s like wearing no shoes at all–only better.

Engineered vents help enhance breathability and provide not only stretch but support. There is a unique, medial lacing system which allows for a more customized fit, and a light flexible upper helps with the midsole to keep your feet securely in the shoe.

Wearing the Nike Men’s Free 5.0 V4 has been compared to wearing no shoe at all! The deep cuts in the outside of this shoe means that your feet flex and move like you were barefoot. As a result, training 20 minutes per week in this comfortable, slipper-like shoe can help you prevent injuries and build your speed.
The shoe can be worn sockless as very few seems are on the inside of the shoe. It bears repeating that training should begin with 20 minutes per week to help prevent minor injuries. A quality shoe for quality running.

Nike shoes provide not only style but functionality.
