The Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit makes a performance statement echoing those famous words from coach and Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman. Bowerman’s belief was that design should focus on the athlete’s body and movement. His convictions inspired a design philosophy around the concept of natural motion and sparked the idea for the paradigm-shattering Nike Free introduced in 2004.
Ten years later, advancements in technology and product engineering continue to push the boundaries of footwear design even further in the all-new Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit. A key breakthrough came from Nike’s sport research lab data, athlete insights and studying the foot in motion. While runners move forward linearly, their feet don’t move in a perfectly straight line – they tend to roll slightly when striking the ground. The design team knew multi-directional flexibility was key to delivering natural motion in a shoe.
HEXAGONAL FLEX GROOVES
Data gathered at Nike’s sport research lab and insights from athletes helped inform Nike’s first-ever outsole with a hexagonal flex-groove pattern, delivering multi-directional flexibility and helping enable the runner’s foot to move more freely in all directions.
ANATOMICAL SHAPE
A more anatomically-shaped heel is designed to roll as the athlete’s foot hits the ground. This body-led approach to designing footwear focuses on mimicking the shape of the foot and aims to allow the foot and body to move more naturally.NIKE FLYKNIT TECHNOLOGY
An ultra-light Flyknit upper provides a supportive, contoured fit in the Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit. Securing the foot over the low profile sole, the upper complements the flexibility of the Nike Free platform, allowing the foot to move more freely in all directions. Nike Flyknit technology enables designers to micro-engineer areas of stretch, support and breathability, and to seamlessly integrate Nike Flywire support where needed.
Available today on NIKEiD, runners can customize the performance options between the Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit and Nike Free 5.0, changing the uppers and outsoles to deliver their optimal fit and ride. Each of the four silhouettes – Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit iD, Nike Free 5.0 iD, Nike Free 5.0 Flyknit Hybrid iD (a Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit upper paired with a Nike Free 5.0 outsole) or Nike Free 4.0 Hybrid iD (a Nike Free 5.0 upper with a Nike Free 4.0 outsole) – can be personalized with a unique color palette and custom message on the tongue.Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit
