With fall weather rolling in and winter rapidly approaching, the top brands are going to great lengths to ensure that you stay warm and dry while working out this season. Just take a look at the latest Nike Free Run+ 3, decked out in a tonal obsidian upper with subtle orange and red accents.

Suede, the favored material of pro skaters and basketball players back in the day, is known for providing a decent amount of "grip and flow" that perfectly fits certain performance situations. This Nike Run kick may not be considering "running" first and foremost with this one, as most of the "Run" re-releases has been aimed at the more fashionable set then those looking to up those Fuelband points. Forgoing the usual mesh and Hyperfuse skin found on the standard Free Run+ 3, this cold weather version utilizes suede throughout the upper, backed by an enhanced mesh layer. The look is capped off with a "cement" like speckle on the grey midsole.

There's likely more updated Free Run+ 3s on the way, so stick with Sneaker Report for any updates and pick up the Obsidian/Total Orange colorway today from Titolo.
