I have run in the Flyknit Racers in distances from 5k all the way through to the marathon. The shoe is designed to go fast and feels most comfortable when you're toeing off in a race, rather than easily jogging. The configuration almost encourages you to lean forward whilst you run, again convincing you to run faster.

It was truly innovative creating a one-piece breathable upper, engineered for precision fit and a second-skin feel for runners. From blistering 5Ks to marathons, or simply for daily jogs or lifestyle use, you can't go wrong with a pair of Nike Flyknit running shoes.

What is Nike Flyknit. A material made up of strong yet lightweight strands of yarn that have been woven into a one-piece upper, securing an athlete's foot to the shoe platform.

Nike introduced its Flyknit technology in 2012 and little did they know it would define an era of sneakers.
