Trend Alert: Nike Free Runs




Another trend is dominating my twitter and Instagram timeline – it’s the funky range of Nike Free Runs! I must say, usually I’m the sensible shopper, buying only the necessary. However, someone once told me that if you’re constantly going back and forth deciding on whether to buy the item or not, you should just buy it. That’s how I became the happy owner of these beauties. I checked high and low at the different Nike stores, compared prices and compared colours. I just could not give it up, especially when these ‘tumblr girls’ or fitness models kept reminding me of how pretty they look - a pure example of how the media can manipulate you into buying the goods.



Guilty as charged, I found a watermelon pink pair and it was even on sale. After all, their logo is “just do it” so I couldn’t resist! It’s a pretty delicate sneaker, so I wouldn’t advise doing mountain climbing or anything drastic of that sort. But it’s incredibly light, so it would be perfect to tackle those 101 UCT stairs that I will be climbing once again.




Hoping that this pretty pair will get me back on the road - mastering that 10km in no time. Here’s to training in style. 
Witness the fitness.
