In 2014, Nike Free 5.0 experienced a gargantuan makeover process, the premise of which was redesigned midsole/outsole. For a long time, the auxiliary fundamentals of the adaptable midsole stayed unaltered; profound converging flex furrows shaping a settlement of numerous froth squares – with guest appearances of outsole elastic bits in the heel and forefoot. This gave the Free extraordinary adaptability, as the sole could spread out wherever required. This was the key principle of the Nike Free design – that to permit the foot a greater scope of movement – instead of running on a stiff midsole.

The Nike Free 5.0 is an unique minimalist running shoe. It have grand qualities, being to a great degree comfortableness, adaptable, in vogue and all around versatility. The heel-to-toe drop is much too high, they are substantial and not extremely solid. In spite of the fact that due to the Free 5.0’s astounding adaptability, simply strolling around in the Free 5.0 will reinforce the feet, giving time to acclimate to moderate footwear while not giving barefoot feeling.

Upper: The 5.0 has a snub fit in the forefoot which is a major plus for the comfort factor and gives a slipper-like experience. The upper of Nike Free 5.0 is delicate and adaptable, and the inside is extremely comfortable and suitable for sockless wear. The laces are slightly offset to the side, and loop through flywire bands that help to lock the middle of the foot down. The mesh over the forefoot has a bit of give/stretch and breathable that keeps foot odorless.

Outsole: The sole of the 5.0 has the renowned siping grooves that are part of all Nike Free shoes. The sipes make for an extremely flexible sole that bends and rolls with ease. Ride is also made smoother by the constant splaying and adjustment of hexagonal pods, as they work independently from the overall mass of the midsole. The rounded heel is also a transition aid, helping in gradual landings without the jarring edge strikes.
