Kevin,

Thanks for the comment! I’d love to see a Nike Free 1.0, but my suspicion is
that the only way it would come about is if there’s a big enough market for
it. Blogging and pushing on-line for it is not a bad idea, and was one of my
motivations for writing this series of posts – I want to see them come out
with a truly barefoot-like shoe, not one that is simply marketed as such.

Thanks for the in depth review – I’ve been hearing good things about
it from lots of people. As you suggest, I suspect it’s a great choice
as a transitional shoe for those wishing to move into more minimalist
footwear.

The Free Run+ is the successor to the 5.0, so that would be your best bet.

Ricky,

Thanks for the info – seems to confirm that the 5.0 is going away to be
replaced by the Run+. Did you try any of them on? I did buy a pair of 3.0
v2’s myself, and they compare favorably with the original 3.0.

Pete

I appreciate the effort, but these reviews would be a lot more effective if you actually went out and tried the shoe.

Hi Thanks I got a pair of the + they just don,t have that feeling that the 5.0,s have I,v been running in these for a few years.

Love the continual critical push of your blog!

Thinking about building a website/blog/internet thing to garner energy/sprinkle salt/throw punches at nike design to produce a free 1.0 shoe.

Thoughts?

Pretty sure a grassroots/commutiny type effort (if enough momentum) could inspire/warp/command nike to take notice.

Anywho, keep up the great writing.

Oh, if you use nike’s running site (such a great tool, and the main reason i’m an evangelist) i’m Jah Runner.

I saw the Free 3.0 on the Nike website too, but not in my size. :(

I’ve considered the saw approach – maybe I’ll do it when my 3.0’s are on
their last legs.
