The upcoming season will see the release of the Nike Free Run+ 2 FW 2011 Collection which is going to be a real treat for runners.
The Nike Free Run+ 2 FW 2011 adds to the sports company's very successful line of runners. New colors have been added, but otherwise, the design has stayed relatively the same. You still get the web-like effect on the upper with the swoosh located on the side of the back-heel. When it comes to materials and performance, the runners still has a lot of flexibility on the front of the shoe and the same lightweight material is still utilized for comfort and breathability. Considering the rave reviews the Free Run+ 2 series has been getting, it’s clever to keep things the way they are. After all, why fix something that ain’t broke?
