    This may seem like a stupid question but what exactly makes a shoe a trainer?

    Tech built for lateral movement as supposed to only forward movement.

    Back when I ordered the Hyperfeels, Nike cancelled my order. Did those really have enough lateral support for cuts/movements? that was always my main question with them.

    It's also made for versatility and that is why they used to be called "cross-trainers". You can do a bit of running, HIIT, weight training/weight lifting, etc...




    Free Train Force Flyknit available on ID btw: http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/prod...id/?piid=42294&pbid=959782859#?pbid=959782859

    GR colorways

    I'm interested to see some reviews of the Free Train Force Fkyknits (kind of a mouth full for a model name but they look promising).

    Has anyone tried Jordans Trainers? I always see them on deep discounts so I've always been curious how they are.

    Current trainers aren't too bad looking though they do look a bit bulkier than what Nike usually has to offer.



    These are Jordans upcoming trainers

    Can anyone speak on the sizing for the new 1.0 Trainers (with the rubber hexagons all over)?

    I wear: 

    FKR: 11

    FK Free 3.0: 11.5 (snug)

    Hyperfeel: 11.5 (a bit loose in the toe box)

    UB: 11.5

    I generally like to have a slightly looser shoe, so my toes can splay when squatting/deadlifting, but don't necessarily want as much room as I have in my Hyperfeels (they feel right at the edge of too big in the toe box, especially with thin socks, as mentioned earlier)...

    Got the Instincts, haven't worked out in them but first impression is that the shoe looks really good in person and on feet though it does look somewhat big, not bulky but big. Upper is very soft, it's not going to need any break ins at all. The dual-density foam feels firmer but not hard, difficult to explain but you do not simply sink in. Sole is great as usual, very flexible. Shoe is extremely wide though, probably why the shoe looks big onfeet, I have wide feet and this feels real roomy. Go tts but again be warned, it is very wide.

    Kevin Hart says the Hustle Hart colorways will be out this summer. It seems like his pairs have the old 5.0 soles on them because they didn't wanna show the new free soles. I'm guessing the released pairs will have the new soles on them.

    Does anyone know the midsole material for the Free Force Flyknit? I asked Nike, but they never got back to me. It's supposed to be be more firm in the heel for squats (good move), but I can't find out if that's due to a change in the geometry of the auxetic design or a denser material back there.

    They look dope, great for summer workouts :smile: I wonder why the USA and Brazil pair have the respective logos but not the other two though...

    Really wish it was available for mens too, would make for a great post-gym shoes. Also reminds me of And1 Tochillins.
