The Nike Free is now winter ready in the Free Run 3 Shield. A water resistant upper helps keep the wet out of your shoes, and reflective nanoply on the upper keeps you visible in dark conditions. An ultra flexible midsole with a 6mm heel-to-toe drop promotes a more natural stride, while a seamless upper with asymmetrical lacing gives you a form-fitting, socklike fit.
