Today's pick comes from Racked Chicago editor Jared Hatch.

For anyone like me, headed from a wifi-enabled coffee shop to an after-work event and then on to Equinox, you need versatile footwear with a glove-like fit that's lightweight enough to carry in your laptop bag. So in short, it's all about adaptability. On March 28, Nike will release this dream shoe, Nike Free Trainer 5.0—and it's inspired by a Chinese finger trap. When the shoe is relaxed in a static state and not in motion it becomes very comfortable and loose, but as soon as you start moving and flexing your feet, the body of the shoe explosively tenses, creating a better fit, which in turn helps muscles become stronger. Plus, they come in flashy color combos.
