What I didn’t realize until this year is rather than keep the same name of a popular shoe like Vibram does with their Five Finger shoes
|
For some reason Nike insists on making their shoe names the most complicated and convoluted system on the planet. OK, so it’s not THAT bad, but in my humble opinion it’s pretty darn silly and confusing for consumers looking to buy a pair of their shoes. This is especially the case with the Nike Free line of shoes
A little background on the Nike Free shoes. When they first started the Nike Free line of shoes Nike decided to take an innovative approach to the naming of their shoes. They created a scale from 1.0 to 10.0 (not sure why they have the “.0″ since I’ve yet to see a Nike Free 2.5 shoe) where 1.0 is supposed to represent the feeling of running barefoot while 10.0 is supposed to represent your traditional well-supported and typically not so flexible running shoe. Alongside this scale they started to name their shoes. They had the Nike Free 3.0, Nike Free 5.0, and then the Nike Free 7.0. Once you understood this you had a good idea that if you wanted a more “in-the-middle-of-the-road” barefoot-like running experience you’d probably go for a Nike Free 5.0 versus a Nike Free 3.0.
However, as the Nike Free line of shoes started to get more popular Nike naturally got more greedy and want to capitalize on this new barefoot “flexible” phenomenon. So they started getting extra fancy with their naming and features (which we explained in our post on deciphering Nike Free naming conventions). They started to be inconsistent with their naming conventions (putting roman numerals in the names, version numbers, etc…).
What I didn’t realize until this year is rather than keep the same name of a popular shoe like Vibram does with their Five Finger shoes, Nike likes to come up with brand new shoe names which replace older models (example is Nike Free Run+ replacing the Nike Free 5.0 v4 shoe).
Anyway, I’ve ranted on long enough, below I’ve tried to make sense of the 2010 Nike Free line of shoes so you don’t have to suffer like I did trying to figure it out. Now more please login cheapestnikeshoes.com, Hope you can help to find your favorite,thank you reading.
