Free Run 5.0

Daily TrainerReleased 2021US

Free Run 5.0 is a road shoe built around a close-to-the-ground, barefoot-like feel and natural flexibility. Its updated foam is lighter, softer and more responsive than before. Laser-cut sole grooves enable movement, while forefoot and heel rubber add durability. A breathable knit upper stretches with the foot, and Flywire integrates with the laces for midfoot hold across running, training and everyday use.
