Who should buy the Nike Free Hyperfeel
The Nike Free Hyperfeel is a lightweight and responsive slip-on road running shoe best recommended for:
- minimalist runners (with neutral pronation) for daily running and gym sessions
- recovery runs and easy runs that builds up the mileage
Secure, barefoot-like feel
The Nike Free Hyperfeel provides a very minimalist or barefoot-like running experience that feels as if the shoe is actually an extension of the wearer’s foot.
Imagine a running shoe that actually fits like a sock; an upper unit that’s thin yet secure; and a sole unit that’s very flexible. That’s what this shoe provides, and it encompasses the ‘free’ philosophy of this design.
Nike Free Hyperfeel offers breathable support
Natural motion is a design focus for the Nike Free Hyperfeel. The upper unit uses a thin, yet durable material that wraps around the foot in a snug yet secure manner.
Air is always welcome when it comes to this fabric because it allows all-around breathable support. The upper even looks like an actual sock.
Not for wider feet, definitely!
Some reviewers didn’t like the choice of colors used in the upper, which for them are too loud for their taste. Others also noticed that it had a very narrow toe box.
A smooth ride is what runners are experiencing in the Nike Free Hyperfeel. A comfortable sensation comes from the mid-sole foam, which offers a balance of responsible cushioning and soft impact protection when landing on the ground.
Great traction on asphalt
It simulates how the foot naturally traverses on the ground, especially when going through the gait cycle.
A rubber compound is placed on the outsole unit. It’s thin, but it’s capable of providing protection against wear and tear. It also gives traction when exposed to the asphalt. The outsole unit is incredibly flexible, so it works with the foot rather than against it.
Fits like a glove
The Nike Free Hyperfeel is true to its size. It is available in sizes that adhere to regular measurements when it comes to length.
The width of this shoe is medium, so it welcomes those with feet that are medium-sized. A natural feeling is afforded by the next-to-foot construction of the upper and the curvature of the platform.
A bit of springiness to every step
The outsole unit uses a thin rubber material that provides protection against wear and abrasion. It’s not too prominent, but it definitely gives reliable traction over the surfaces. Waffle pistons are square-shaped indentations that pockmark the outsole.
They give ground feedback to the wearer, as well as a bit of springiness to every step. They contract when pressure is applied to them, and they spring back to their original shape when pressure is removed.
Lightweight and durable midsole
The LunarLon is a soft, but springy foam that’s very lightweight and durable. The immediate underfoot feel is soft, so it handles the weight of the foot and impact from landing on the ground.
Lifting the foot warrants responsiveness, so the foam brings a bouncy ride. Flex grooves in the drop-in sole unit allow the foot to move more naturally.
Allows freedom of movement
All-around freedom of movement is afforded to the runner because of these helpful horizontal slices along the entire length of the sole unit.
The Flyknit upper technology features a thin fabric that acts as a second skin, which covers the foot in a secure yet comfortable manner.
Nike Free Hyperfeel is a breathable running shoe
It hugs the foot just like a sock would, giving an all-encompassing coverage that’s well-ventilated. This Flyknit upper is also used in some Nike shoes for running including the Epic React Flyknit 2.
Flywire cables are durable strands that connect directly to the lacing system. They cause the rest of the upper unit to tighten or loosen in accordance with the adjustments made to the shoelaces. They hold the foot down to the platform.
