The sun is shining more frequently, and store shelves are preparing for a sublime summer shoe: The Nike Free Socfly release date is officially set.
A sleeker, somewhat more minimal update of the LunarFly 306, the Socfly brings the more lifestyle-oriented Free midsole to the equation, promising a flexible, “barefoot” experience for that season when leisure rules and barefoot (or close to it) is better. The upper too is slimmer and simpler, as a one-piece mesh construction is overlaid with Hyperfuse paneling for lightweight stability and durability, while a midfoot Velcro strap once again fastens in the foot.
Best of all, the wait is nearly over. The first five colorways of the Nike Free Socfly release April 6 at select retailers everywhere, running the gamut of styles from neutral (white/grey, black/black) to eye-poppingly stunning (“Sunset” gradient, bright citrus/light retro). Truly this is running-inspired comfort and style done oh-so-right.
