Nike uses several technologies to position their running shoes as providing benefits to runners. Nike Free aims to simulate barefoot running for a more natural feel while preventing injuries. Nike Flywire uses strong yet lightweight fibers to support shoes in key areas without adding weight. Nike+ measures runs and walks by connecting a sensor in the shoe to an iPod or phone to track distance, pace and other metrics.
