Nike Sportswear’s EXT series offers casually-oriented takes on current and recently succeeded performance models. The Nike Free Run+ 2 can be seen as the catalyst for this movement, a barefoot runner so good that people wouldn’t stop buying them even while the 3s are quite popular themselves these days. We’ve come to expect suede, leather or other luxurious treatments like wool, but the latest ladies release occupies a new class thanks to a glossy metallic Rave Pink exoskeleton that really pops atop a black base layer. Let us know how these compare to the less flashy approaches we’ve seen on the Free Run 2 EXT, then grab yours at NSW retailers like Oneness.

After a smashing success in the sophomore year (that wasn’t even necessarily ‘supposed to’ happen), the ever popular Nike Free Run+ 2 is back with a second set of WVN drops to start year number three. Switching from leather to suede overlays, the Free Run 2 Woven brings forth three more dope two-toned colorups that suggest its reign could continue for years to come. Black/Volt and Sport Grey/Flame combos offer energy pops while the Anthracite/Concord edition is the cool customer of the group and all three are available now from Titolo.

Much has been said about it during the Nike Free Run+ 2‘s impressive extended run. ‘Instant classic’ might give you the most bang for your descriptive buck, this barefoot runner having dug its toes in and outlasted just about every other performance model from the Nike Running camp. It’s crushing the casual scene these days courtesy of the Sportswear division, who’ve blessed us with extremely wearable concoctions like this Velvet Brown mix of wool and leather. Red on the laces and interior exoskeleton prove why this two-tone mix is a can’t miss for the cold seasons, and you can find them available now at Kith.

The Nike Free Run+ 2 continues to assert itself as the Swoosh’s finest barefoot-mimicking design to date, appearing in a fresh new lifestyle edition that capitalizes on one of the hottest looks of the year. This new ‘Oreo’ Free Run 2 features a color combination and midsole speckling we’ve seen on memorable releases like the Air Jordan IV (which was falsely rumored to return in 2012) and VI (a 2010 release). Speckles always help to integrate a colorway more thoroughly and that effect is extended with grey in the middle both literally as in the upper’s layering and figuratively with regard to color saturation, and you can see how this simple suede style comes together in more photos after the jump.

Can you imagine if all your childhood interests were harnessed for a collaborative sneaker release? That sort of busy design reflecting the mind of a youngster has been the calling card of the Doernbecher x Nike project for a while now, exemplified once again on the Nike Free Run 2 here. The Grant Olsen design puts on some exotic colors, a glow in the dark speckle, and a few personal touches pointing towards his interest.

While some purists have argued that Nike Running’s Air Max flagship series hasn’t hit the same heights since its first decade (of which four models serve as cornerstones in the Nike Sportswear catalog). And even if Air Maxes 1, 90, 95 and 97 are the cream of the crop (it’s true; all bonafide classics), what no one in their right mind can say, is that the Swoosh’s running division isn’t still coming up with legendary designs. Lunar and more recently Flyknit designs continue to raise the bar in terms of both style and performance, and even with tons of Olympic exposure, arguably none of those has had the impact of the model pictured above. The Nike Free Run+ 2‘s everyman appeal has given them life well beyond the typical product cycle even as the sequel arrives in new colorways, and today we have three new Woven Free Run 2 styles with leather overlays from NSW that you can see up-close below before buying at Tier Zero stores like Extra Butter.
