The Nike Free series fields a number of really nice, functional sneakers of the running variety.  The Nike Free Huarache Light happens to be one of my favorites at the moment.  Combining the Nike Free technology with the 90′s throwback Huarache upper, both styles are distinct but combine effortlessly.  The Light features a mesh upper with synthetic overlays, and a distinct plastic ringed lacing system.

Available in the three pictured colors (neutral grey, black, and light black team orange) at Premier.

Pardon me for the long delay between posts.  I know you all were fiending for a shoe fix.  Fortunately, I was unable to attend to VK duties because I was on holiday in lovely Cape Town, South Africa.  For those who haven’t been there, all I got to say is, you gotta go.  Anyway, I’m back for another one.

Haters gonna groan, but today we are featuring the Nike Huarache Free 2012.  This is a re-design of the old huarache running shoe from ’92, but with the Free technology.  I had a pair of Huaraches B.I.T.D., and they were truly sweet – lightweight, supportive, and breathable.  I imagine incorporation of Free is only going to make these babies even more cushy.

Nike and running fans rejoice, the sweet Nike Free line has an animal-friendly one amongst them.  Actually there may be multiple but this one I just happen to stumble across.  The Run+, like its kin, are meant to simulate running barefoot, which is supposed to be more natural, and hence, better for your feet, knees, and back.  It’s also designed to feel more like running barefoot, which means it is super breathable, bendy, and lightweight.  I for one have never tried it, but it sounds like a hell of a good idea.  Of course, they are animal friendly as well.  The uppers are made entirely of mesh and a synthetic overlay.  The swoosh is etched by a frickin’ laser (no leather swoosh!).  Glues, as per Nike’s claims, are not animal based.
