Nike's latest training sneaker is one of its most daring yet, with a thin Free-powered platform that brings athletes closer to the ground than any other cushioning. 

The Free Trainer 1.0 "Chalk For Your Feet" represents the debut of the Free 1.0 sole in the men's training department. Previously used on the women's Free 1.0 Cross Bionic, this setup carries on Nike's mission of providing athletes with a natural, close to the ground feel with the thinnest sole of the entire Free lineage.

As if the design itself wasn't unique enough, this introductory colorway is one that will surely be noticed, with a black and white dotted upper and hits of "Volt" color pop on the Swoosh, Flywire, and tongue. The upper is composed of a durable material called Kurim, allowing these to withstand repeated wear and tear during intense training sessions.

If you're ready to find out what you've been missing in the gym, the "Chalk For Your Feet" Trainer 1.0s are now available from Nikestore for $150.
