Very nice execution. Leather is straight buttah. Stylish and comfortable, you can go wrong with these 312s. Also have the Don C Medicine Ball colorway. Both use quality materials, and my pairs lacked any imperfections like glue stains, glue smears, non-controled QC on the leather and stitching, and the like. If you're on the fence I highly recommend checking them out in person, and rock'm when you get'm.

This shoe has received lot of hate and no real explanation as to why. When I first looked at it, I thought it was a bit off-putting and busy. But then the more I reviewed the different colorways, it grew on me. So I took a chance and ordered the purple/white colorway and I must say, it looks tremendously better in hand than in the pictures. Comfort is great for casual walking with the Jordan 3 outsole and especially around the ankle. I am a fan of the retro styling and most of the colorways including Don C's releases. The price point makes it all the more favorable. This is overall one of the best Jordan collaborations that I've seen. Only thing I dislike is the elephant print sections but to each their own.

To preface this review, I am a marathon runner and try to get in a 5-20 mile run every day. Nike has been my go-to stop for everything running and I have been very satisfied up until this purchase. I've probably put 60 miles on these to date.I have owned the Free 3.0, Flyknit 3.0, 2016 Motion Flyknit, and now this 2017 Motion Flyknit. Pretty much following the new releases every year. All have been among the most comfortable shoes I've worn, each new rendition, better than its predecessor. I was hesitant to buy this iteration due to the laceless and over-ankle aspect, but I took the plunge. Since day one I've experienced discomfort with this shoe.During my speed workouts where I am on the balls of my feet, I will experience pain in my achilles. I have found this ... MoreTo preface this review, I am a marathon runner and try to get in a 5-20 mile run every day.

Since day one I've experienced discomfort with this shoe.During my speed workouts where I am on the balls of my feet, I will experience pain in my achilles. I have found this to be due to a very stiff heel in the shoe. I love the flyknit material, but for structural purposes I assume, the heel on this shoe is not the same material as the rest. I can pinpoint my pain to a spot exactly where the material is different. There is a point where the 'cuff' on the ankle material presses against my tendon causing unrelenting discomfort.Secondly, these shoes are very narrow leading to pain in my outer foot. My feet are wider than most, but this hasn't been an issue in previous Nike shoes. With the 2017 Motion shoes the straps are positioned at the exact spot where my feet are widest, putting pressure on the exact wrong spot. I've experimented with the straps, both tight, one loose, both loose. There is still discomfort. I am not concerned about sizing because there is ample room in the toe box. Loosening the straps alleviates some discomfort, but at the cost of my feet not being locked in as well ex. the point of the straps. However, if you have a more narrow foot, the straps will be tight and hold your foot in place very well.Overall, I am dissatisfied and should have waited to see if there will be a more traditional 2017 version. The two main features of this shoe cause discomfort that was not there with the more traditional look and feel. To end I don't normally write product reviews, but I would like to caution anyone with wider feet to avoid these because, the straps will cause pain.

I absolutely loved running in these shoes--they had great road feel, good responsiveness, and felt like they ran true to size, until I got to about 120 miles into owning the pair. I suppose I hadn't noticed, but the right ankle of the shoe was so tight that is actually caused my ankle to become inflamed, irritated and swollen to a point where it became almost impossible to run in them without discomfort. Even after switching to an older pair of low-top Frees and the swelling subsided, the right shoe's ankle remained too tight and was immensely irritating. I'm not sure what happened or why, or if it was a manufacturing problem with the right shoe and NOT the left, but i simply cannot run in them anymore. The left shoe fits true to size in all aspects, but the right ... MoreI absolutely loved running in these shoes--they had great road feel, good responsiveness, and felt like they ran true to size, until I got to about 120 miles into owning the pair.

The left shoe fits true to size in all aspects, but the right shoe is very tight around my ankle and causes pain and swelling with even short distance runs (for me, 5-8 miles). I want to recommend these because they started strong, but I can't because I wouldn't wish this kind of frustration on anyone.
I love the Flyknit and crossing strap design of these shoes. They feel stable enough while remaining nice and flexible, like wearing a cushioned, supportive sock.However as others have mentioned, the sole design is pretty bad. They collect mud and small rocks like crazy. Also, if you look at them from the side, you'll notice how much heel there is protruding out the back, away from where the sock is. Most peoples heels don't stick out that far, and it leaves too much of the shoe a bit loose behind my heel towards the back/bottom of the shoe. I'd also prefer less slope, or rocker, in the front near the toes.Otherwise they're pretty great, even if a bit narrow for me. I look forward to an improved next generation soon. Really love the all black color way.
Amazing sock-like shoes like the Lunarepics. I would say these are even more comfortable, since you don't have to worry about laces at all.The sole brings the same comfort you get with any Free, and the upper (I got it in the all-black version) looks stunning, *BUT* unlike the other Free RNs, I didn't order half size down, and I'm glad I didn't because even though the Flyknit upper is forgiving, the straps are not as elastic as I would expect, which is not bad considering they are the only sources of foot lockdown.In a nutshell, these are the coolest-looking, most comfortable Free RNs I have.(I cannot really rate the durability since these are still pretty new)
I love these shoes. I am a fan of stylish but active/comfortable shoes. I also am a fan of shoes without traditional laces. These shoes are very light weight, snug form fitting and comfortable. The flyknit and Free outsole technology make your feet feel very natural when walking/running and you feel agile and nimble all day. However, I try to wear socks that rises higher than the ankle part of the shoe as that kind of digs into your achilles a little when against bare skin. Not a huge problem though. Also the black rubber bumpers on the heel of the shoes tends to peel off after some time. I am going to try to use some super glue or something to keep that in place. Overall I love the shoe. I would wear these everyday but I need some more color ways to match them up ... MoreI love these shoes. I am a fan of stylish but active/comfortable shoes.

This shoe is crazy comfortable and stylish beyond the gym. I own the all white pair, all red pair, and will purchase the gray/black pair. They form to the foot nicely and feel like I have nothing on at all. Theyre breathable and have great cushioning which makes me feel like Im running on air. I could run all day in these shoes which is great because I already run all week. Id quickly recommend these to anybody that runs or goes to the gym and even blasted me on my Snapchat. 10/10 Love this shoe!
This shoe is a really superb upgrade to the 2016 model (which I really liked a lot ). Starting from the bottom, the "auxetic" patterned Nike Free sole is amazing. This year's sole seems a few millimeters thicker (and perhaps the midsole foam was reformulated) but, the shoe doesn't seem heavier or more unstable. I'm a mid to forefoot striker. So, I really appreciate the level of (in this order) flexibility, cushioning and stability that is engineered in this design: super nice!The 2017's Flyknit upper doesn't have the pronounced exterior tubule-like texturing as compared to the 2016 model. This change along with what feels like a refinement in the Nike Flyknit yarns has a noticeable improvement in the interior (next-to-skin side). This is a big plus for those who ... MoreThis shoe is a really superb upgrade to the 2016 model (which I really liked a lot ).

This change along with what feels like a refinement in the Nike Flyknit yarns has a noticeable improvement in the interior (next-to-skin side). This is a big plus for those who want to skip wearing socks. I've gone on several 5K runs wearing this shoe sans socks: no blisters! Depending on shoe fit, running distance and other factors, this may not be ideal for everyone tho.The straps provided a measured amount of lockdown fit. The crossover "X" placement also contributes positively to the aesthetics of this shoe. But, personally, I hope the near future brings a version of the NIKE FREE RN MOTION FLYKNIT without the straps (or laces). I imagine this near future would also require a combination of personalized, custom tuned Nike Flykint yarns and precise scans of both of your feet. I anxiously await this future!Final notes:I purchased both the 2017 versions of the NIKE FREE RN MOTION FLYKNIT (Black/Pure Platinum/Wolf Grey/White) and the NIKELAB FREE RN MOTION FLYKNIT (Sail/Black/Mushroom/Black). Alas, I could not recommend the NIKELAB FRNMF (what a mouthful)! These kicks appear nearly the same with the exception of colorway and minor material differences. But, in my experience, the fit was a bit too narrow for my slightly wider than average feet (men’s US size 11.5). If Nike posts my review, check it out for all the details. Anyway, I’m Very interested to see how these kicks perform for others! Lastly, I made my purchases of the first run colorways in April. But, I’m really digging the new colorway drops: fresh!
I love the shoe even though it seemed to get hate for just being a jordan hybrid. It fit great and looked good except for the midsole. The choclate that wraps around the back of the midsole seems hastily painted and there is dashes of choclate paint on the white part. It just looks messy. The white paint also seems really rushed and there are blotches where you can tell that too much paint was used and a glob of excess paint dried. Leaving a white scab.
