The Nike Free Inneva Woven took performance innovations that Nike crafted over the years, and brought them together to provide a premium experience for the wearer. The combination of a hand-woven upper, dynamic lacing system, and Free sole for natural motion emphasized that less is more. The Free Inneva Woven was the first original Nike Sportswear model to utilize Nike Free technology, and had incredible reception for that category. The popularity ended up trickling down, as different colorways and variations on the model have dropped since its initial release in September 2012.
