Kizik has entered the performance running category with the launch of its first running shoe, the Freedom Run, expanding its signature hands-free footwear technology into athletic performance.

Built with HandsFree Labs® technology, the shoe features Kizik’s Internal Flex Arc™ system and Tented Heel Pocket, enabling easy step-in entry while maintaining heel stability during movement. It also debuts VivaFoam™, the brand’s lightweight, compression-resistant midsole engineered for impact absorption and responsive energy return.

Additional highlights include a rocker sole for smoother transitions, an engineered mesh upper for breathability, and a full rubber outsole with flex grooves for improved durability and traction. With Freedom Run, Kizik aims to blend convenience with performance, marking a bold move into the athletic footwear market.
