    Worth Buying? Nike REACT INFINITY Run Flyknit Review + On Feet! Pros & Cons • Worth Buying? Nike REA...
    I had a list of Pros and Cons in the initial review and after wearing a lot i can confirm MOST of my thoughts as before on the new Nike model.
    PROs
    Better Traction thank Epic React. Traction in midfoot too!
    New Flyknit Loft material is nice
    Price is $160
    Fit is TTS
    Nike React is SOFT, Durable, Light and Responsive
    24% more React that Epic React 2!
    Good improvements overall to Epic React.
    Wide base is nice
    added reinforcement a plus for stability
    CONs
    Colorway sucks.
    Style is meh.
    Basically Epic React 3.
    Snug in forefoot like epic react
    $160 when Epic React is $60ish
    Also Ankle collar uncomfortable with low socks for me
    Final Thoughts? Is this a Buy for Casual?
    Very good shoe on feet, every time i put them on i was expecting my feet to get used to the good comfort and every time I was happy to see they were really still comfortable.
    DESIGNED TO KEEP RUNNING, FEARLESSLY.
    The Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit will keep you running. Created for all levels of runner, this shoe delivers on the promise of innovation with more foam and improved upper details for a secure and cushioned feel. Lace up and feel the potential as you hit the road.
    A Lightweight Fit
    The all-new Flyknit Loft technology is stronger and more durable than previous iterations. It features 3 distinct layers to help keep your foot secure, while providing a lightweight and flexible feel when you move.
    A Stable Feel
    Higher foam stack heights provide a softer feel. A wider shape provides a more stable ride, helping release energy with every step.
    A Smooth Ride
    The shape of the Nike React foam midsole is all about zonal performance, providing support for the 3 phases of a runner's stride-flexibility at toe-off, a smooth ride at mid-stance and cushioning at contact.
    More Benefits
    Less material in the shoe means you're closer to the foam, creating a softer, more responsive experience.
    Increased rubber at the outsole helps deliver traction and durability.
    Product Details
    Weight: 10.27oz (Men's size 10)
    Offset: 9mm (Forefoot: 21.5mm, Heel: 30.5mm)
    Shown: Platinum Tint/Pink Blast/Total Orange/Black
    Style: CD4371-004
    Designed to Help Reduce Injury
    It’s an audacious shoe with an even more audacious goal. We designed the Nike React Infinity Run to help reduce the risk of running-related injuries. In one of our largest independent studies, the Nike React Infinity Run helped keep study participants running while training for a half marathon. Read more to learn more about our newest shoe.
    Runner Approved
    To see if the shoe could help reduce injury compared to our motion control shoe, we commissioned a study through the British Columbia Sports Medicine Research Foundation where runners followed a 12-week variable training program ending in a half marathon. Based on the results, we think we’re on the right track: In testing*, the Nike React Infinity Run showed a 52 percent lower injury rate compared to the Nike Structure 22, our leading motion control shoe.
    *The Nike React Infinity Run reduced running injuries by 52% compared to the Nike Air Zoom Structure 22 in a study of 226 men and women during a 12 week run training program (injury = missing 3 or more consecutive runs due to running related pain). Our study found that 30.3% of Nike Air Zoom Structure 22 runners experienced an injury but only 14.5% of Nike React Infinity Run runners experienced an injury.
    Cushion For Days, Weeks, and Months
    Our Nike React foam is popular for a reason: it’s super springy and it lasts. We added 24 percent more foam to this shoe than the Nike Epic React 2 for added cushioning.
    Shaped To Help Your Stride
    We engineered the midsole to have a unique rocker shape, rolling you through your stride. This React shoe also has a wider base than previous versions, ensuring more stability with each foot strike.
    Super Strong Upper
    We created the upper out of our newest Flyknit technology, Flyknit Loft. With three layers of breathable mesh, this shoe will keep you locked in and outlast the miles you’ll put on it.

    Love your reviews. It trips me out when you review running shoes as daily walking shoes. Sometimes I feel like they don’t get their justice they deserve. Like the zoomfly flyknit. I know you didn’t like them at all and walking around maybe but it’s a completely different shoe when you run in them. I’ve had multiple PR’s running in them. As far as style goes and you saying it’s a con.... it’s a running shoe....

    Very comfy shoe. I love the design of it. Very futuristic. More cushion, rocker design of the sole, stability plate and the Flyknit loft are all cool new features.
    The reason they minimise injury is because they're more plush, shoe shape and stability bar. They are meant to lock down your foot within the shoe, promote natural motion and provide cushion. They're elements that all shoes need to minimise injury.

    Performance wise these are a huge upgrade than the Epic reacts. For actual performance, the epic reacts were not a shoe that you’d want to run in with some of the better shoes that Nike offers but these are a great shoe for performance running. From a casual wear perspective all Nike react shoes are going to be similar but performance wise they vary a lot so pay attention to what purpose you are buying them for when watching reviews

    • @dudinacas

      Wdym? Epic reacts were great cushioned/daily trainers and I didn't see anyone saying they weren't made for running. You're not going to be racing in any current React shoe anyway so stuff like lockdown doesn't matter as much.

    Good review! I have two pair. For running slow-- decent, and cushioned. Maybe a little clunky. For walking, very comfortable and again superb cushioning. It's short of being a perfect shoe. The initial sensation of comfort and having substantial durable shoe on your foot come with some costs. Need a shoe horn to get it on. Weight is an issue. Materials give a constant sensation of heat all around the foot. Will be interesting how this evolves as this is the first shoe I've worn that has achieved good midfoot to toe cushioning for both walking and running.
    The shoe is a buy but a little short yet of perfection.

    Always get the feeling when seeing the epic react that Nike brought this shoe on the market with one sole purpose: To kill the Ultra Boost hype. Just flooding the market with a bit similar, cheaper but not as good looking or bouncy shoes as the adidas ones.

    Do you guys feel that the mid foot is really narrow? It makes it quite uncomfortable for me. I love Epic Reacts, I wanted to buy this shoes, but when I tried it, I found the mid foot to be very narrow. Tried to go half size up, then the fore foot become too wide, just overall not very suitable for me this shoes.

    • @gilbertoflores7397
      @gilbertoflores7397 4 роки тому +1

      Hes has recommended the epic reacts many times over these, mainly because the Epics are significantly discounted now and the infinity is still pretty much retail, so if you want a pair wait until they're more discounted. But the Epic aren't that must worse than this, and are actually the better buy if you get then for 60ish bucks.

    I disagree on the aesthetic but I also prefer a cleaner looking show without all the flashy-ness of some of the more styled shoes. I just got my pair on a Dicks Sportinggoods flash sale for $130 I the black/white color way and think they look great on and off feat. I have only tried them on in my home and haven’t worn them out yet because the thing I’m just unsure of is that heal cup. Just like you said, it’s rough af and it feels like it’s gonna rub the back of my ankle raw with a no-show sock. I’ll probably keep them tho.
