Expanding on the revolutionary technology introduced by Nike designers Eric Avar and Tobie Hatfield in 2004, the Free RN 2017 'Obsidian' promises a natural, flexible ride along with other benefits. With Flywire integrated with the laces and a one-piece, seamless knit upper in different gauges of mesh, this shoe also brings stability and breathability to the table for light runs and workouts. The shoe is extremely light, and also appeals to non-runners as an everyday go-to.
