Product Information

Full details

The Nike Free RN 2018 is a lightweight, high-performance trainer designed for adult runners who prefer short-distance runs and a natural, flexible feel. Featuring an adaptive fit and enhanced traction, these shoes are perfect for those with a neutral gait cycle looking for a smooth, supportive ride; however, because they prioritize flexibility and minimal cushioning, they are best suited for shorter training sessions rather than long-distance endurance running.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathons?

No, the Nike Free RN 2018 is specifically designed for short-distance runs and daily training, as it offers minimal cushioning compared to long-distance racing shoes.

What is the primary function of the Flywire technology?

Flywire provides lightweight support by using high-strength cables that act like suspension cables on a bridge, locking your foot in place for a secure fit.

How should I clean my Nike Free RN 2018s?

Use a soft brush to remove dirt, and wipe with a cloth dampened with cool water and mild soap. Always air dry.

Does this shoe provide motion control for overpronation?

No, this is a neutral shoe. It is designed to allow the foot to move naturally rather than correcting pronation.

Can I use these for lifting weights?

While the low-profile, flexible sole offers good stability for some, they are primarily performance trainers meant for running and dynamic movement.

Troubleshooting

Feeling discomfort in the arch area

Adjust the lace tightness to release tension on the Flywire cables or consider using a different insole.

Sole losing traction prematurely

Ensure the outsoles are kept free of debris such as gravel or dried mud, which can affect the grip of the foam structure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight for a nimble, fast feel
  • Excellent breathability for warm-weather runs
  • Natural, flexible sole promotes a neutral gait
  • Secure fit provided by durable Flywire cables

Cons

  • Minimal cushioning may not suit long-distance runners
  • Not intended for technical trail running
  • Lacks the heavy stability features required for severe overpronation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Nike Free RN 2018 trainers, proper maintenance is essential.

Setup: These trainers feature a standard lacing system. To maximize the benefit of the Flywire technology, ensure the laces are tensioned evenly from the bottom eyelets to the top so that the midfoot feels secure but not constricted.

Compatibility: This model is designed for a neutral gait cycle. It is fully compatible with aftermarket orthotic inserts if you require specific arch support beyond what the factory insole provides.

Care:

  • Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive.
  • Clean surface dirt with a soft brush and mild soapy water.
  • Air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent the synthetic materials from warping.
