Nike introduces the Free Running collection for 2014 with two all-new models, the Free 3.0 Flyknit and Free 4.0 Flyknit, along with the redesigned Free 5.0.

The collection allows runners to choose the desired level of flexibility and close-to-the-ground ride. The Nike Free 3.0 Flyknit offers the most flexibility and a four-millimeter heel-to-forefoot offset, the Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit provides flexibility with more cushioning at a six-millimeter offset, and with an eight-millimeter offset the Nike Free 5.0 is a happy medium between natural flexibility and a traditional running shoe.

The new Free models all feature an updated sole that utilizes hexagonal flex grooves, delivering multi-directional flexibility that helps a runner's foot to move more freely in any direction. Each also features an anatomically-shaped heel to help the runner's heel hit the ground more naturally, and the introduction of Flyknit technology in the 3.0 and 4.0 models for a lightweight yet supportive fit.

Beginning today on NIKEiD, runners can customize the performance options between the Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit and Nike Free 5.0, changing the uppers and outsoles to deliver their optimal fit and ride. Each of the four silhouettes – Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit iD, Nike Free 5.0 iD, Nike Free 5.0 Flyknit Hybrid iD (a Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit upper paired with a Nike Free 5.0 outsole) or Nike Free 4.0 Hybrid iD (a Nike Free 5.0 upper with a Nike Free 4.0 outsole) – can be personalized with a unique color palette and custom message on the tongue.

The Nike Free 3.0 Flyknit, Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit and Nike Free 5.0 will be available on Nike.com and in stores beginning April 3.
