Nike Free Hyperfeel

Experience the best of flexibility and support in the minimal

construction of the Nike Free Hyperfeel. The latest Nike Free Hyperfeel is inspired by Nike Free, one of the brand’s neutral performance collections. This model is designed to tackle the trail, mountain and off- roads. It features a super traction and speed, which could fare well for daily training and racing. It is also versatile enough to be used on the road and indoor settings, like the gym.

Arch support and pronation control

The Nike Free Hyperfeel is defined as a neutral runner that could offer an almost- barefoot experience. As a minimal feature shoe, it only corrects the gait of the runner to make it more natural. In terms of arch support, it does not have enough stiffness or stability to decelerate pronation. However, it could control under pronation, which is the natural outward rolling movement of the foot.

Terrain

The Nike Free Hyperfeel is a versatile shoe because of its unique outsole. It is designed for the trail, mountain and off- roads. However, it could also be used on the track, gravel and road. It has superior traction, adequate cushioning and durable rubber that can handle the landing impact of both track and trail. It could also be used for downhill and uphill runs.

Use

The Nike Free Hyperfeel is a minimal feature shoe that is designed mainly for speed work. However, it could also be used for daily training and racing, depending on your required cushioning. The insole of the shoe can be removed so you can put in another insole to match your needs.

Durability

The durability of the Nike Free Hyperfeel is at a bare minimum threshold. Since it only has lesser features and adequate padding as compared to stability and motion control shoes, it is fair enough to say that it has great wear resistance and durability for a minimal trainer. The outsole has a highly durable rubber that could take on the edge of the track and trail.

Outsole

The outer sole of the Nike Free Hyperfeel provides an almost- barefoot experience to the runner, thanks to its top notch responsive Lunarlon cushioning. This technology features deep flex grooves that use pressure- mapping technology to provide protection and support where it is necessary. It replicates cushioned pads and protects the foot like a second skin. On the outermost region of the outsole, there are waffle lugs that improve traction on the trail.

Midsole

The midsole is a blend of unique technologies that keep the shoe lightweight without compromising support and comfort. The Lunarlon insert functions as both sock liner and traditional midsole foam. It is integrated to gender- specific flex grooves called the Nike Free Sipes. At the rear foot area, there is the so-called Phylon Heel clip, which adds more cushioning and stability to the heel.

Upper

The Flyknit upper is made of elastic threads and synthetic mesh layers to improve the shoe’s flexibility, breathability and support. It is incorporated with Dynamic Flywire technology to provide an unparalleled fit. It also features a synthetic toe cap on the forefoot to enhance the durability of the upper, while providing the necessary protection from terrain irregularities.

The stability rating is determined by the stiffness of the shoe or the presence of cushioning technologies in its construction. Stability is a crucial factor for support shoes and motion control shoes, but it is not necessarily needed in neutral trainers. This is because the latter is more focused on assisting in the runner’s natural running technique, which means that lesser support is needed.

The Nike Free Hyperfeel will keep you racing towards your favorite trail routes with an almost-barefoot experience. The shoe construction can still offer the right cushioning where it is necessary, so you don’t have to worry about going from one terrain to the next. The minimal design of the Nike Free Hyperfeel is pretty versatile, since you can use it for normal training and speed work on both trail and track. In fact, it can also be used as a go-to gym shoes, thanks to its flexible platform and adaptive fit. The product is one of the most expensive neutral trail shoes on the market, but the $175 would truly be worth it if you live to enjoy minimal trail running.

Price

The Nike Free Hyperfeel is one of the most expensive neutral trainers to ever be sold by Nike. The shoe construction is packed with the newest technologies to improve comfort and assist the runner’s performance on the trail, mountain and off-roads.  At $175, nobody can deny that the shoe is worth the price tag.
