    The only Free I liked was the original Free 5.0 - After those the rest just seemed to have weird forefoot curvatures or high arches and just didn't work with my feet at all. Love the Free series though.

    Rich: Thanks, Mate! I'm diggin both, but the EMIVs have me tempted [​IMG]

    More sample pics courtesy of NikeiD via FB... It looks like they're trying to hide the toe portion of Midsole Rim because it doesn't match the iD Builder rendering [​IMG]

    I think I'll order my Free Run 2 IDs tomorrow after seeing all those pics.

    Here's what I've hauled so far on the Free Runs.

    The black pair is actually my second pair after beating my first pair up. I've put about 100+ miles on my initial pair so this new black pair will put to work soon.

    Nice, Raf! The LS cw is my favorite cw for the FR1s, and my Black / White pair is my workhorse (~80M + casual wear) as well lol 

    Went to a Nike Running Store / iD Studio earlier today to check out the Free Run 2iD samples in person, and here are some pics I took (point and shoot quality[​IMG])...

    I just received this info regarding the iDs and their recent samples...

    The Free Run 2 iD had an error in the samples. The final delivered shoes will be true to the design in the builder with the complete wrap-around mid sole.

     

    ME April 4

    THANKS for the reply! I was just about to order a pair with a colored midsole rim and expected them to turn out like the samples, which is what I would have preferred. I'll be editing my design now.

    Ray- Yes they do. They're called the Articulate 7.0, and they're probably the most comfortable flip flops I've ever worn. Memory foam footbed...mmmmmmm
