Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 Kinetics’ ‘Animal’ edition reclaimed the wild jungle look for the country where the trend got its most recent start, but if you’re looking for something a bit subtler that still manages an animal side, then this serpentine Shelltoe design is just perfect for you. The Nike Free Run 80s has been treated to simple two-toned leather-on-suede builds that keep their snake details ‘hidden’, a nice twist on asymmetry that really adds some depth to these three pairs’ appeal. Have a closer look after the jump, let us know which color catches your eye and find these at select Three Stripes stockists like West.

Nike Free Run Mens Thanks to all that Air Jordan XI ‘Concord’ momentum, 2012 has been a great time for black/white sneakers. Nike Air Max had gotten in on this surge earlier when they released the Run-DMC tribute Superstars last November, then they tried another super-simple look on the iconic shelltoe this April as part of a series of Japanese exclusives. Somewhere in the middle of those two is this elegant Nike Free Run 80s, a suede-Striped black leather design whose gold branding completes a classic look that’ll be around as long as people have feet.

nike free run shoes The Free Run has quickly risen from bargain NSW option to one of the biggest cult hits of the year. You can attribute that to the combination of the easy-going Japanese-culture derived design and the generous $70 price-tag, and as long as Nike continues with that formula, the Nike Sportswear following will only continue to grow. Many Free Run fans have been waiting for the release of the womens ‘Camo’ joints, and although we’ve yet to see solid release information for those, a few pairs just became available for early picking (note, these are a women’s so account for that if you plan on copping). Another look at both colorways below, so take a look and head on over to the available listings from solefromearth99 on eBay.

nike free run 5.0 v2 We’d love to be wrong about exactly this kind of prediction, but barring some unforseen developments, the Nike Free Run is far and away the most pleasant surprise so far in 2012. Fans of its effortless blend of style and comfort will be pleased to know with both new colorways as well as Premium and Trail variations for the fall season, the Free Run will be about as busy as a two-toned design can possibly be. This new release has that same dualistic approach and the fact that its attractive Challenge Red and white build is limited to WMNS sizes, is going to have a few dudes in an anything-but-zenlike state of mind. Click through for more of the subtle beauty and find yours at Nike Sportswear dealers like Oneness.

nike free run 3.0 v3 Are you ready for more of the Nike Free Run? With that attractive $70 price tag it’s hard not to go back to the well at least a couple of times on these, as any who owns a pair can attest to. You already know that down the stretch there are some premium and digital camo pairs in the works, but keeping it close to what initially set the sneaker off so well Nike does have some basics coming down the pipeline as well. You’ve got the Knicks colorway in there, a redux of the red and white that brings in a bit more of the latter, a green/black, and then one of the more high energy of the group the blue glow on volt combo. Hit the jump with us to peep each one and let us know which of these Fall 2012 Nike Free Run’s you’ll be scooping up. Photos: Soleroom

nike free run 4.0 v3 The instant cult-classic status of the Nike Free Run has resulted in Nike throwing quite a bit more support behind the model with their varying styles splintering off from the beautifully simplistic OG. The Nike Free Run Woven pictured here just might be the biggest departure yet. The foam sole is still there on bottom, but the upper is totally reworked with a thick woven set up and some black leather sections for the tongue and back tab. Stay with us after the jump to get a complete view and pick up the Nike WMNS Free Run Woven right now at Nikestore.

nike free run 3.0 v4 For better or worse, 2012 was a defining year for the sneaker world and all that it encompasses. It was a year that saw certain shoes throw the laws of supply and demand so out of whack, that brands and retailers had to completely rethink the way they sell shoes to the public just to keep the peace. If you were willing to put in some legwork or, better yet, had the right connections, it was a banner year for sneaker enthusiasts. “Must-have” releases seemed to be at an all-time high and nearly every weekend offered up some sort of temptation for consumers. 2012 saw the release of some of the most eagerly anticipated and passionately sought-after sneakers the game had ever seen and it’s safe to say that things will never be the same again.

nike free run sale In between those, there were plenty of other desirable targets along the way, from the special limited editions and collaborations to beloved Retro returns and promising new designs and innovations. There were even a few certified sleeper hits that organically carved out their place among the year’s best releases. Due to an exponentially expanding consumer base and a heightened level of product awareness, you might not have been able to get your hands on every shoe you hunted for in 2012, but there was certainly no shortage of solid alternatives ripe for the picking in their absence.

nike air max 90 mens The Free Run has tremendous momentum as we approach the colder half of the year, and now we’ll see what the surprise hit of 2012 can do when the conditions get a bit more challenging. The Nike Free Run Trail takes the Free’s zenlike perfection up a few extra eyelets and utilizes ACG-leaning colorways and corded laces to give us a new style for fall as pleasantly surprising as the original’s spring debut. Expect these ripstop nylon Free Run Trail midtops to offer a bit more water resistance and warmth retention than the mesh forebear and get with Hanon‘s August 1st pre-order to secure your pair today.

air max shoes for men Complimentary colors like red and green or yellow and purple cancel one another out when combined, but practically vibrate with intensity when placed side-by-side. Blue and orange have a particularly synergistic appeal, which is one way of accounting for why colorways based in that pairing are often so pleasing. This new Nike Free Run is no exception, its design a perfectly balanced mixture of casual style and comfort with a sporty edge that’ll keep you coming back all summer. They’re out now at Nike Sportswear stores like Corporate and you can see more angles below.

nike air max mens shoes Dylan Raasch intended the Free Run to represent a zen-like balance of style, comfort and value, and now that we can include the attention of serious sneakerheads along with a variety of exciting new styles, this has become a design with some serious rookie of the year credentials. Check out these new Nike Free Run Premium photos, a trio of tonal builds that looks even better in these photos that demonstrate the textural contrast from mesh toe to rough suede rear. All three are depicted in greater detail below, so let us know which ones could be a go-to for you this fall and stick with Sneaker News for US release info. Photos: mita sneakers

nike free run mens Is the Nike Free Run the absolute epiome of the term ‘lifestyle sneaker’? One could certainly argue in favor of that point, this new style carrying with it so many familiar characteristics we’ve come to know and love from the casual and/or comfy corners of the market. The Free has running in its name as well as its mesh bootie upper and a Free-inspired sole that’ll remind you of many a LunarLon-cushioned performance runner, but the shape has been altered to accommodate a bit of the chukka styling that’s been so prominent in the last few year’s boot infusion. Coming up next month are two pairs in black with your choice of tonal Swoosh/red sole or silver Swoosh/yellow sole, and you can see images of both after the jump before pre-ordering from CrookedTongues.

nike free run 4.0 v2 Sneaker News has been looking forward into Nike Sportswear’s summer 2012 collection in recent days and here’s another preview of what to expect from the Swoosh’s casual catalog in Q2. The Nike Free Run is pictured above in the kind of colorway you might expect from the colder months, but don’t make the mistake of missing out on the versatile quality bestowed by the greenish-brown Iguana upper. Particularly as combined with the white sole on this pair, they’re a perfect balance for bright reds, oranges and yellows, or you can take the hint from a neon footbed that’s easily this pair’s loudest feature. Click through to see those details and more after the jump and look for these at NSW retailers like Titolo in April.

nike free run 5.0 v4 The upcoming Nike Free Run is a bit of a tough sneaker to categorize. Generally the latest runners from the Swoosh are incorporated along the lines of a certain technology, be it Free or Lunar. These apparently feature neither, aiming for a most minimal design that we’d actually put closest to the Huarache line thanks to the bootie feel. Whether or not they’ve got the gumption for the lifestyle category will depend entirely on the available colorways, and looks like this black and pink are certainly a good step in that direction. Follow us after the jump for the full shots and let us know if you’d lace up in this runner, be it on or off the track.
