This elegant yet futuristic colorway is one of the sneaker's most popular versions out there. They're a neat freak's nightmare and a trend lover's dream - the Triple White (AQ0067-102) iteration of the Nike Epic React Flyknit combines a crisp summer style and top-notch performance.But the real game-changer is the React foam. Thanks to rubber segments under the forefoot and heel, the outsole provides a welcome grip for those slippery outdoor runs or sharp pivots. This groundbreaking knit fabric- and yarn-based technology is micro-engineered to adapt to every foot's shape for optimal comfort. What makes it perform so well?įor one thing, it fits like a glove thanks to a one-piece Flyknit upper. Many pronounced it the real deal and their new go-to shoe for serious training. It instantly garnered accolades from running bloggers and sports shoe reviewers. ![]() In terms of style, these sneakers also make great use of Nike's signature Flyknit fabric, which allows for versatile textures and gradient or contrasting colorways.īut the truth is, this is a shoe made for athletes. It ultimately did away with the nostalgic sports shoe trends, highlighting a sharp, streamlined silhouette instead. (It also looks pretty damn cool, if you ask us.When the Nike Epic React launched in early 2018, its vibrant colors and sleek lines were all over Instagram's hippest feeds. As for the piece of the sole that extends back beyond the heel cup, almost like a sneaker spoiler? That's just to increase stability around the heel. And unlike ZoomX, which was built for elite runners at the top level of competition, Nike React is the brand's most durable foam ever, meaning it'll stand up to your daily runs. That said, the foam tapers off towards the toe, where it isn't as needed. Design-wise, like the Nike Zoom Vaporfly 4% from last year (which featured a different new Nike foam called ZoomX), the Epic React Flyknit has a thicker midsole than on previous Nike sneakers to accommodate the extra soft cushioning. The key to React is that it's light but also super-responsive, which means that you'll bounce off the ground but won't feel like you're running in sand. According to Nike, React delivers 13 percent greater energy return than Nike’s latest generation of Nike Lunarlon foam. But the real star of the show here is Nike's new React foam, a proprietary tech that's an improvement on Nike's previous soles, like Lunarlon. The Epic React Flyknit, as its name implies, comes with a full Flyknit upper, which is designed to be supportive in the right places as opposed to everywhere, like the midfoot and heel (which is reinforced with a plastic heel cup). But Nike, fresh off a year that saw them swing for the fences to reassert their dominance over a surging Adidas, has just delivered another major threat to the Ultra Boost's reign-the Nike Epic React Flyknit. They essentially shattered the standard for just how bouncy an everyday sneaker could be, and thanks to their sock-like upper also ushered in a new era of sneakers with laces as barely more than an aesthetic addition (if they were included in the design at all). Since it debuted in 2014, the Adidas Ultra Boost has been the kind of casual and ultra-comfortable running sneakers people really seem to want to wear right now. ![]()
