Nike introduced Flywire in 2008 and we''''ve seen a ton of shoes updated with the space-age fabric.  As with the introduction of Free soles back in 05, the Swoosh dropped a ton of updated retros, both this year and last.  Expect further enhancements of some of your favourite designs, now with a third significant update.

The Free-sole Nike Air Max BW Gen II doesnt have Flywire, instead utilizing Nike new Torch material.  Its a three layered mesh that piles a diamond-like lattice over top of a middle grid layer, both of which sit atop a moisture-wicking base.

We saw that Rasheed Wallace asked for it on a pair of his infamous Nike Air Force 1 Highs, so its only natural that Torch will continue to pop up on your favourite models throughout 2010.  The best part is, its a technologically advanced fabric, but there less of it, so Torch is in line with the huge 2010 for Nike Considered Designs.
