What are those Nike green shoes that I see on the Olympic athletes?

If you have been watching this years Olympics, you might have seen those bright green sneakers that the Olympic runners have been wearing. What are those you might ask? Those are the Nike Flyknit shoes. These shoes are trying to be as close as the minimalist shoes that are our their now. They have a special stitching that will knit the sneakers upper part with individual threads that will make them very lightweight.

These sneakers were unveiled back in February and sparked a lot of interest in the running community. Now with millions of people watching the Olympics it is starting to spark the trend all over again. The release date was July 27, 2012. It appears the only place at the current time to get these are online at Nike.com

When looking for athletic shoes it is important to look for quality characteristics that makes the shoe comfortable and well constructed. Running shoes must be lightweight, yet well supported. For most recreational runners, walkers, and athletes; a good cross trainer is sufficient.

Foot type is also important as athletic shoes are now manufactured more specific for a flat foot, a high instep, and you have a propensity to pronate (arch flattens) or supinate (foot rolls to the outside).
