Want List: Nike Flyknits
Impossibly light, Flyknit shoes are made by weaving polyester yarn to replicate the look and feel of a sock – delivering the most natural running experience possible. The result is quite staggering, in terms of performance at least, as they can be up to 80% lighter than traditional Nike running shoes.
The popularity and famed comfort of the Flyknit range has meant that they’ve been adopted by men of varying styles, although they’re especially popular on the morning commute. We don’t recommend that look just yet, but here are the five designs we like the best.
NIKE FREE 3.0 FLYKNIT, , The idea behind Nike Free is that it’s supposed to mimic running bare foot. Super flexible and extremely comfortable, they are perhaps the most stylish running shoes on the market.

NIKE LUNAR FLYKNIT CHUKKA, , Reminiscent of a pair of chunky winter socks, these Flyknits are a mid-cut chukka boot – perfect if you’re after a running shoe with a difference. They might even look good paired with some slim-fit jeans.

NIKE FLYNIT RACER, , The choice of marathon winners the world over, the Nike Flyknit Racer is for the serious enthusiast. Or the streetwear-worshipping youth.
