I was thinking the same thing and is pretty much how I felt.

Free was made for running kicks, so it fits in the runners.
And for them in SC to act like the free sole is better for basketball didn't make any sense.

Why, oh why are they pushing the Huarache Free Run so hard?

 

[ehh]

I made the mistake of wearing a pair of the runners to play volleyball last night.  These are def for casual/running only.

Nike trying to pitch their new technology this models/hybrid. "Free" sole or something. Probably trying to justify the price tag as well.

So what happen?

 

[ehh]

Just every time you tried to plant (and this was just volleyball, not basketball or anything with real hard cutting) your foot would roll over where the free sole meets the upper.  It was like the free sole would plant and stop but the rest of the sneaker and your foot kept going lol.  It was like a pain-free version of rolling your ankle.

That's what I was thinking. I haven't worn my runners, but when I wore the basketball ones I was very disappointed. Just from walking around the mall I could tell that they wouldn't be good for quick cutting. IMO it's a gimmick, and I warned my boy against buying them for basketball.
