Nike Go FlyEase: the hands-free sneaker that reinvents the way you put on shoes

Step into the world of the Nike Go FlyEase, the most radical innovation Nike has signed since the arrival of Air. With its bi-stable hinge system and articulated sole, the Go FlyEase slips on and off without using your hands: a single step is all it takes. At MTHOR, we curate the most sought-after models from the FlyEase line, all authenticated by our expert team, so you can enjoy this icon of inclusive design in pristine condition, ready to wear right out of the box.

The story of an icon: from Matthew Walzer's letter to the hands-free revolution

The FlyEase journey began in 2012, when Matthew Walzer, a teenager with cerebral palsy, wrote an open letter to Mark Parker, then CEO of Nike. He shared his frustration at not being able to lace his shoes alone as he was about to start college. The letter reached Tobie Hatfield, brother of Tinker Hatfield and Nike designer, who developed a first Nike LeBron Soldier 8 FlyEase in 2015 with a zip system.

In February 2021, Nike unveiled the Nike GO FlyEase: the first truly hands-free sneaker in history — no zip, no motorized laces, just a mechanical hinge. The model sold out in hours and became instantly cult, celebrated by the inclusive-design community and sneakerheads alike. Since then, the FlyEase tech has spread to Air Max, Free RN and several basketball silhouettes.

A unique technology: how does the Go FlyEase bi-stable hinge work?

At the heart of the Go FlyEase sits a bi-stable articulated hinge built into the sole, paired with a tension band across the forefoot. The sneaker has two stable positions: open (heel raised, ready to receive the foot) and closed (heel folded, in walking position). To put it on, you slide your foot into the open shoe; to close it, you press your heel down to the floor and the tension band pulls the rear shell up. To remove it, block the sneaker with your other foot and release the heel: the hinge springs back open on its own.

Three concrete benefits follow: full autonomy for people with reduced mobility or kids learning to put on their shoes; time saved every day, especially handy for sport, the airport or emergency response; and a unique design signature that turns every pair into a conversation piece.

The iconic models in the collection

The Nike Go FlyEase line gathers the most sought-after silhouettes built around the hands-free tech. The original Nike GO FlyEase remains the reference piece, available in iconic colorways like Black/White, Sail/Black/Volt, White/Pink Foam and pastel sportswear editions. The Nike Air Max 270 Go applies the mechanism to the Air Max 270 silhouette, blending accessibility with visible Air cushioning. On the basketball and performance side, you'll find the Nike LeBron Witness 8 FlyEase, the Kyrie Low FlyEase and the Nike Free RN FlyEase for running. Junior Nike GO FlyEase PS and GS editions round out the line for younger feet.

FAQ — Nike Go FlyEase at MTHOR

How do I verify the authenticity of a Nike Go FlyEase?

Every pair sold by MTHOR is authenticated by our experts before shipping. On the Go FlyEase specifically, we verify the proper function of the bi-stable hinge and the tension of the rear band, two key points that separate a real pair from a counterfeit. Discover our full process.

What size should I pick for a Nike Go FlyEase?

The Nike Go FlyEase fits true to size. If you usually wear a 42 in Nike, take your usual size. The rigid heel structure does require some room at the front of the foot: when in doubt between two sizes, go for the larger.

Which box ships with my pair?

You receive the original Nike box matching your colorway, with all factory accessories. The MTHOR seal applied at shipping guarantees the pair has not been opened since authentication.

What is the delivery time?

We ship worldwide, with home delivery against signature within 2 to 8 days. You'll get real-time tracking by email and WhatsApp, regardless of destination.

Will I have to pay customs fees?

No, no customs fees are at your charge. MTHOR covers all duties and taxes worldwide. The price displayed on the site is the final price you pay: no bad surprises at delivery.

Can I return my Nike Go FlyEase if it doesn't fit?

Yes. You have 14 days from receipt to return your pair, provided it's in original condition (never worn, intact box, seal not removed). Refunds are processed within 24h of receiving the return.
