Origins After Learning That Stanford Athletes Had Been Training Barefoot On The University's Golf Course, Three Of Nike's Most Innovative & Creative Employees Set Out To Develop A Shoe That Felt Natural & Weightless, Similar To Bare Feet. In 2002, They Examined A Group Of Men & Women With Pressure-Measuring Insoles Taped To Their Feet, Using High-Speed Cameras To Capture Images Of Each Foot In Motion. The Team Spent Eight Years Studying The Biomechanics Of Shoeless Running. The Results Yielded A Profound Understanding Of The Foot's Natural Landing Angle, Pressure & Toe Position, Allowing Nike Designers To Build An Unconventional & Flexible Running Shoe From The Inside Out.
