[ Nike ] is releasing a limited-edition City Collection to celebrate the launch of the Nike Free Flyknit, a new running silhouette that marries two Nike landmark innovations: an ultra-lightweight Flyknit upper and a flexible Nike Free outsole. Featuring a new-generation Nike Flyknit that adds more elasticity and 360-degree lockdown, the shoe’s unique build includes a bootie-constructed heel that offers a snug fit around the ankle to eliminate slippage, all riding on a Nike Free articulated outsole allowing the foot to flex and stretch.

Just in and not confirmed. Today in Milan (below) at Stadium Milano five shoes were presented from the following cities: NYC, London, Tokyo, Paris and Shanghai. The (above) info from Nike’s blog though the Nike’s title says five cites and six are listed. Confused, like the concept, and you heard it here first.
