Nike originally thought its Free products on a scale from 0 to 10, where the 3.0 was closest to being barefoot, the 7.0 was the closest to a normal shoe, and the 5.0 was in the middle between barefoot and full shoe.
With a flexible Nike Free outsole, firm-ish foam in the midsole, tooling that wraps up around the arch to stabilize the foot during impact and a durable midfoot strap, this shoe performs well.Up to2%cash back · Nike Free RN is all about the runner. This innovative approach results in a sneaker that’s made for the way the foot moves.
Radical changes to traditional running shoes are evident in this free design. Instead of the average running shoe’s enhanced midsole, the Free RN has a reduced, thin foam midsole so runners can connect with the road.The new principle behind the Nike FREE line of running shoes is called “auxetic design”. When your foot hits the ground, it expands both in length and width.

Nike Free running shoes are also designed for barefoot training. Samples shoes: Nike Free 4.0, Nike Free RN; Nike Flyknit The Flyknit technology is found in some of the Nike running shoes, and it is available in yarn and fabric variations.
It is engineered to deliver a lightweight, formfitting, and seamless foot coverage.

Not good I have toe bone angle I have pain in first use walk run
Is nike free rn 3.0 flynikt is comfortable for all day wearing not as a running purpose but in office use?
Nike Free peaked from 2005 to 2007. Then again in 2012 with the Free 5.0 3. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had.
okay… serious question would this be any good for parkour or actual free running?
After watching this I’m like… MEH, I’ll get another pair of Altra Escalante. At least you can run a lot in them and even race. I find these Nike free pretty useless IMHO.
best shoe ever for the barefoot feel. Getting a 2nd all white pair!
Great review. I’m a size 13, should I go up to size 14? I got wide feet so not sure if this is for me.
You can’t tell me he doesn’t look like mateo from the show ”SuperStore”
im just a tall guy aroudn 205 lbs who wants soft af shoes for walking. Would these work?
i like the colorway but the purple accents on the back are a dealbreaker
Idc what anyone says, I ran miles on miles in all my free runs. 8+ a day. I prefer it over the over cushioned runner shoes that Nike produces. My feet get cramps with lunarlon and all the other run cushions Nike makes.
cool video!! I’ve just ordered these shoes and can’t wait, thanks bro����
Compared to the 2018 joints, I felt that these shoes had too much foam that was too stiff. Honestly, the puma suedes seem like better shoes than these.
Saw these at the store the other day and didn’t realize they where the new free run model. Will have to check them out now. The first couple models I loved.
Damn. I just got into running and only plan on running up to about 4 miles each run, about 5 days per week. Because I saw on Nike’s website that these were designed for shorter distances and that I think they look cool, I ordered them. Now I’m worried that I should have gone with Zoom Pegasus or something. It sounds like these aren’t very comfortable. I’m running on inner-city park trails, etc. so it’s mostly fine gravel (no paved roads, etc.). It looks like you’re running on pavement/streets based on the black bottoms in the video.
I returned my 5.0 they felt fine on the treadmill but hurt on the road
Damn.. 19 mins for a shoe review? That’s too much to watch..
The rrp is pretty high in Australia, I would rather stick it with Vivobarefoot
Great and thorough review! Shoutout to Frieza for giving out the last bit of design influence on color. Lol
Personally, I’m on the fence until I try them on. I’m interested in getting the 3.0 as well since I like minimalist shoes. But for me the 5.0’s just look cool. Hopefully, they’ll restock it in crimson/black. Otherwise I’ll be getting the Frieza version you got.
interesting review zooty. Nike should rebrand this Free (like Nike did w/ its Roshe line). Solid ground feel w/ Free but not suited for running unless you’re on softer surfaces, doing v low mileage
I just got them for €31,49… at such a low price it would be a big mistake not to buy them. They are really comfortable at walking, I’m not running anyway. They seem more comfortable than a New Balance pair I bought 2 weeks earlier at double price.
I’m going to get these shoes I’m size 9 1/2 so I should size up to 10?
The point made about the maximal running distance in these shoes being 5k is absolutely paramount. I have done significant damage in my feet muscles after attempting runs in the range of 10k’s, 15k’s and above. If you intend to run long distances being anything from 5k plus, this shoe isn’t for you.
If you have a wide foot would it still fit good in the middle section?
which one better nike free rn 2018 flyknit or adidas pureboost go?
wym Brooks shoes are heavily cushioned, they’re super stiff and heavy and designed poorly with an extremely high drop and heel loaded cushioning. I don’t know of one good runner who wears em
thanks for your helpful video, which one do you prefer epic react or free rn flyknit?
I’m having a tough debate between getting these ones or the Nike Epic React Flyknit 2 as overall workout shoes. I’m not looking into running lots of miles but train in them. Can anyone give me their insights?
I use them for training! CrossFit style workouts where I need a more minimalist “barefoot” shoe.
okay very serious question cuz i cannot find any good reviews so i’ll turn to this comment section… what do y’all think or what are your experiences would would the flyknit 3.0 be any good for parkour and free running?
I don’t run I just wear them because I like the feel for my knees
I really love these shoes but GOD DO PEBBLES GET SUCKED IN THE SOLES LIKE A MFER! They’re comfy for walking and regular everyday use, but the minute I get back home I just grab a pen and take every little pebble out! Would I recommend the shoes? If you’re a neutral runner, yes. But they get dirty pretty quick, and every time I get back home I wash them in the sink with cold water.
just snagged from dicks for $65, thanks for the awesome review man!
I just bought these from the nike factory store on sell for about 40 bucks
You’re the most underrated shoe reviewer. Stay true & stay humble. I like how you go with the casual & performance use of a shoe. Keep it up!!!
Must disagree, running up to 21 km in these shoes and they feel great.
this model could look even more super-great with full transparent black soles, like “motion” model 2017
Reviewing the 2018, but the title says 2019?? Lame. Click bait.
They’re way cheaper on Amazon now. I had an older model fo these shoes and they were amazing. I lost them when I fell in a swamp though:(
I have 2017 and 2019 Nike free runner shoe I like them they are most closest shoe to track and field shoes in weight I go out and do 13.2 to 16 miles with them.
Title says FlyKnit 2019 Review yet you only reviewed the 2018 model. CLICK BAIT ALERT!
I wear tennis shoes 43 EU size with sock. Should I go for the same size with this shoes? Thanks
I have the Nike Free RN 2017 CMTR utility. And the sole caught a dry leaf which I have to pull. ��
I ran two marathons and thousands of miles in free runs…switched to the zoom fly and 4% in 2017. I just bought a pair of these 2018 free runs today. Going back to what worked for me before
“Nike Free RN FlyKnit 2019 Review” is misleading when this is a review of the 2018 shoe. Seriously??
won’t have to worry about the rocks if u just use them for the gym like I heard they meant to be nice vid tho ��
Im a dancer and I love these shoes when I dance am practice for my dance team they are GREAT for dance! I also where them to the gym and class favorite shoes ��
Why nike thinks that 8mm drop shoes are “barefoot like”? Its beyond me… No 0mm or AT LEAST 4mm drop = no buy. Simple. You get that nike?
With your reviews are you in a partnership with Nike and if so how do you get it?
Pebbles that get stuck in the bottom of the shoe? I would never buy shoes that do that.
I have both free run and adidas alphabounce, imo alphabounce is definitely more comfortable for running because of the response and cushioning.
It’s Nov 2018 and the price has really dropped to $29.97 at the outlet.. great deal!!!
Confused as to why people wouldn’t want to do a ton of running in them. I agree that Nike suggests for shorter distances but don’t understand why. I like them for marathon distances. Agree that Nike takes steps backwards. They had the pebble in the sole issue solved years ago and now the 2018s collect lots of rocks again.
@RIZKNOWS do you know if there are any good for circuit and HIIT training?
Im 9.5 US most of my shoes I use or should go all the way to 10 US? (Buying via online ) please need help
These are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever put on.-Black ass donkey����
I bought these for casual wear. Only wore them once. Not that great.
Would you say this a good shoe for indoor track pt tests? Airforce pt test is push ups, sit ups, and 1.5m run, Im close to a 100 on the test I just need a couple more seconds, I need some new shoes to help, my current pair is over a year old
I used to own the Nike free 5.0 and I’ve put so many miles on it and loved those shoes. They’re on sale right now so I’m hoping they’re as good as they were back then
Some colors are on sale now and if you have ebates you get 9% cash back. I purchased the carolina blue color for a total of $71
What shoes would you recommend for long distances if not these?
Which one is better? Pegasus 35 or this flyknit 2018? I already have the pegasus but havent tried for running.
I wondered why your b roll shots looked so familiar. I live in Reno as well!
My store just got these and they’re already on sale lmao no one wants these
Wanted to get these because the 2017’s are great but I don’t want another pair of shoes that drags the gravel with me. They look so good, though! Nice review, sounds like it’s just as good as the 2017 but it didn’t improve the one aspect I have a complaint with.
@rizknows Great Video! I have the 2017 model and love them. I’m going for these but am worried about the size. in the video you say that it runs 1/2 small. Would it be safe to say, it runs 1/2 size smaller than what I’d get the 2017 model? or do the 2017 also run 1/2 size smaller making me purchase the same size 2018 as my 2017? Sorry if this is confusing.
I have the free run 2018 (not flyknit) how does the flyknit compare?
Would you please do Nike Pegasus 35 and how it fares compared to its predecessor?
For lateral movements/plyometrics/change of direction, is flyknit the best option? Or is the regular free a better option
Noticed your socks is an Adidas! Don’t wear competing brands…..������
I’ve been buying relatively cheap runners most my life, my old go to running shoes were the Relentless 6s, so these were my first real nice running sneakers. Really recommend them.
What are the best nike free flyknits from best to worst??? Plz answer
I don’t really run too much, but I always have long walks everyday and will even have more because school is resuming in June 4, 2018 here in the Philippines. Btw, I always walk going home from my school because it’s good for the health, you can save more, and you can have bonding with your friends while walking.
Ugh why did I have to watch this review! These shoes are great! I have never been much of a Nike fan except for the Pegasus in the past. Since I discovered Hoka’s I don’t buy the Pegasus any longer for my longer runs. These have been great for my workouts that include treadmill intervals. I have always resorted to the Crossfit Nano’s because I liked the wider toe box. The upper on these are great because they stretch. Love love love them!
Not so much running but like to walk, hike outdoor paths. Trying to get out and find new trails
I’m more of a walker/hiker than runner but I like spending time on the trails. Also, did you mean to wear that same hat as the last Nike review or was that just coincidence?
I run in sandals, Bedrock Carina, that is all you need. These are sweet looking.
Nike free rn is the best barefooted layered for run!!! It trains ur foot to land naturally and makes ur balls of ur foot stronger
Every of kind sport shoes
Knit technology is always best choice
hey im considering buying one of those but are they good to play soccer in? you no like one time on the ground and just casual football play on the streets
Which one would be better for running on the balls of your feet (like sprinting trainers)
Feels way steeper than a 6mm drop. Like standing on your toes.
hey guys what are your top five shoes that can double up as sprinting shoe that still can be used for intense change of direction? lateral stability
I’m a 10 and a 10 fits me perfectly. I have 2 pairs the all white and the black and grey. No problems with the fit being true. Everyone’s foot is different.
Man, how I miss the Free RN Flyknit of 2015/2016. I wish they’d bring that version back.
How do they go from the 2018 look to this?? Jesus they look so bad!
I disagree, this is my main running shoe! Im a true believer of the nike 3.0 my foot breaths and can expand freely inside which helps with fatigue. I swear I’ve tried just about every shoe on the market including the ones you mentioned and this is the most comfortable shoe for me to run in. I have 0 issues jogging back to back 7-8 miles days with 60lbs weighted vest.
I was really shocked by how comfortable the 5.0 is. I have been suffering from really bad plantar fasciitis for 2 years now and the 5.0 is literally the ONLY shoe I’ve worn and experience little to no foot pain while walking. I don’t really use them for runs but they are amazing at the gym and walking around casually. I tried the 3.0 and it was meh. Something about the placement of the thicker foam on the 5.0 just makes my plantar fascia pain melt away.
would be ok for jumping rope? running is a pointless way of getting cardio. thanks
for those longer runs, you might feel it. and IT DONT FEEL GOOD 4:15
I was big fan of Nike flyknit,however The aesthetic of these pairs 2019 are really not appealing to me. Have to put my money to NB fuelcell
please make your spotify plays lists available! 40% of the reason I watch your videos is by the soundtrack! great job!!!
I WANTED adidas ULTRA BOOST $130,but nike free was on sale for $60.
What is the difference of nike free run 5.0 and Nike flyknit 3.0?
Bought them, weren’t very comfortable, front side felt like it was digging into my foot. Cushioning was stuff.
I keep looking for what material is the midsole and outsole and I finally find it here thanks.
