Nike`s newest lightweight innovation, the Nike Epic React combines comfortable and durable running sneaker aesthetic with the sleek design of a lifestyle model. The new Nike shoe brings softness, responsiveness, and durability to the streets, nothing like anything from Nike before, making it your go-to shoe on-and-off the track. Nike sat down with their designers to come up with a new technology, resulting in the new Nike React foam. Compared to former materials used, such as EVA-based foams, Nike React is significantly softer. The midsole is made from a one-piece React foam, while the complex-patterned outsole includes extra rubber on the forefoot and heel to maintain durability. Finally, the upper is made from a one-piece bootie-shaped Nike Flyknit material, bringing together a sock-like fit with support, breathability, and flexibility in one shoe, making it one of the lightest sneakers out there.
