FlyKnit

Since its appearance a while ago, FlyKnit has been one of the most anticipated sneakers from Nike in 2012. It is said to be one of the best creation from Nike in the 2000s. The FlyKnit Racer was launched at Nike Sportswear 1948 in London couple months ago, but people here in South East Asia especially Indonesia are still waiting for the arrival date of FlyKnit Racer and HTM FlyKnit (Singapore is introducing the FlyKnit as i post this). HTM FlyKnit came from 3 brilliant minds, including Nike's CEO, Mark Parker, Nike Design Legend, Tinker Hatfield and fragment design founder, Hiroshi Fujiwara. 

FlyKnit is made using yarns and fabrics variations that are precisely engineered only where they are needed for a featherweight, formfitting and virtually seamless upper. A pair of size 9 FlyKnit Racer weighs around 160g. Damn. With the formfitting knitted upper, FlyKnit was supposed to create a feeling of a second skin. (If you said that Nike Free gives a barefoot feel, maybe you should try this first). Nike Flyknit was born from the runners feedback, who craved for a shoe with quality of a sock" sung fit that goes virtually unnoticed to the wearer. 

Alongside HTM Flyknit, Nike also created the Nike FlyKnit Trainer+ for everyday running shoe, which weighs around 220 grams. Recently, the images of the upcoming FlyKnit has surfaced on the internet. The colors are crazy good. Which one will you cop?
