The Nike Free Hyperfeel Cross Elite is ideal for cross-fit workouts or a day of lifting as it offers the traction needed but maintains the same lightweight design as other Nike Free's. All Nike's innovations were added into this one including Flyknit, Lunarlon and Nike Free. The Flyknit upper keeps the shoe lightweight while offering a secure and skin like feel. Lunarlon was added to the insole for increased cushioning when performing agility or high impact workouts. Finally, the thin web rubber outsole gives the added traction that you don't get from other trainers and makes the Hyperfeel Cross Elite perfect for indoor or outdoor use.
