For running fans who like to log in miles at their own pace, this latest Nike running sneaker may be perfect for you.
The inspiration behind the new Nike CruzrOne model is a conversation that iconic designer Tinker Hatfield and Phil Knight, Nike co-founder, had last October about running. Tinker told Knight about how he heard of his daily routine of walking eight miles a day, to which Knight countered: “I don’t walk. I run, just really, really slowly.”
Hatfield then looked at the running shoes Knight and others were wearing for their slower “runs” (or “cruises,” as he called them), and he noticed that the foot moves differently at these slower speeds. Out of this realization, the Nike CruzrOne was created.
The design itself boasts a stretchy upper created for easy entry, which is paired with sheer lining on the heel and tongue for additional comfort. A rounded heel helps facilitate a smoother and more natural transition from heel to toe. Capping off the look is a Nike React foam midsole that has excellent cushioning as well as energy return.
