On my desk: Nike Free 7.0 V2 Running Shoes
April 29, 2010
My boss pulled some strings over at Nike and they were kind enough to send me a pair of Nike LunarGlides. I was pretty convinced that these would be my go to running shoes but I was really trying to get them in the Electric Green colorway. Luckily, my local Nike Store had them in stock for me to make an exchange.
As I made it to the store, I ran into the Nike Free 7.0 V2 after a recommendation from one of the sales associates. On impulse, I made sure to try them on before making my exchange. After a few laps around the shop with them on, it turned out that these were much more comfortable than the LunarGlides. Don’t get me wrong, I really liked the Lunars, but I felt that I would have to endure a break-in period before I would be fully comfortable running in them. With the Free 7.0, it was pretty convincing that they would be good to go right out of the box. I ended up changing my mind and walking out with the Free 7.0. It was also pretty cool that they were $15 cheaper than the LunarGlides, which allowed me to buy a few pairs of running socks with my remaining store credit. Good deal. Thanks Nike!
Also, if you plan on buying these shoes online before trying them on, be sure to get them in your true size. These do not fit a half-size small like most of the other Free-soled Nikes. You shouldn’t be shopping online anyways. Buy local!
