Get ready to run in the Nike FlyEase
The Nike FlyEase is the result of a long history of Nike products, which started out back in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports, and quickly grew into one of the biggest global makers of sports clothing and footwear.
Nike FlyEase started after a 2012 letter from Matthew Walzer asking for shoes that were easier to put on. Nike developed hinged and tension systems in response and created a product that could slip on using one hand or none. Public interest rose with the Go FlyEase launch, where they were seen paired with more relaxed clothing, like tracksuit bottoms.
FlyEase by Nike shoes designs and who they suit
FlyEase by Nike shoes offers different designs, from the original bi-stable hinge to lace-lock and zipper versions for running and everyday wear. Each model focuses on how you get into the shoe, so you can pick based on the entry style and shape you prefer. If you want to put shoes on with one hand, choose styles with a tensioner or hinge. Check size notes from the retailer before you buy.
Try styling the FlyEase by Nike with cropped trousers or shorts if you want a balanced look and feel. Lightweight summer fabrics pair well with the profiles with a visible sole and a more technical upper. You could also try airy pants like men’s linen trousers for a more comfortable feel.
How to use the FlyEase every day
The Go system saves time when you need fast on and off for commutes and quick errands. The hinge or strap holds the shoe open and locks when you step in, so you don’t have to worry about fiddling with laces while on the go. For a summer look on the fly, try these trainers with a relaxed layer or a white maxi-dress flailing in the sun.
You can care for the mechanisms by spot cleaning and avoiding fully immersing them in water, or drying them quickly if you do.
