Nike is helping ladies keep their New Year’s resolutions by creating a new training shoe: Nike Free TR Fit 3.  The shoe combines training-specific flexibility and traction with a more modern upper, keeping women light on their feet and allowing for freedom of motion during even the most intense workouts.

The Nike Free TR Fit 3 also features a new comfort tongue that lays flat on top of the foot and uses layers of sandwich mesh to help reduce lace pressure, which reduces distraction so women can focus on achieving the next level of fitness.
