Inspiring a generation of healthier, more active youth is high on Nike’s social agenda, and we agree it should be serving as a major influence in the footwear industry. But truly achieving such a result can only come through the education of both parents and children about how to enhance the little ones’ natural abilities. Here to ease the transition of foot and muscle growth through childhood, Nike presents the new Free 5.0 range, made specifically for young athletes. With a great emphasis on natural motion and enabling the organic development of our young folk, spin the video below for a more in-depth look at the range and look for both girls and boys variations available now via Nike.com and select retail locations.

With the annual Shanghai Marathon taking place over the weekend, Nike has dropped two cloaked colourways to commemorate the event. Banging in bay blue or beasting out in this brooding black number, the China exclusives have got all the usual goodies, including seamless overlays and Flywire construction, but adding the extra bang for your buck is the addition of a water resistant upper and a mono-tonal Shanghai Shen welded logo holding down the heel. Unfortunately these are exclusive to Nike Shanghai retailers, so unless you got the oriental connect, enjoy the gallery of images above courtesy of Hypebeast.
