About the Nike Epic React Flyknit
React is the foam Nike built to escape the compromise at the centre of running shoes: cushioning soft enough to absorb impact usually goes flat quickly, while foam that lasts feels hard. The company worked through more than four hundred chemical and engineering combinations and around 17,000 miles of runner testing before settling on a blend built on synthetic rubber rather than the EVA the industry had used for decades, and claimed 13 percent more energy return than its previous Lunarlon foam.
The Epic React Flyknit, released in February 2018, was the first running shoe to carry it, and the first Nike running shoe with a bottom made entirely of foam: no Air unit, no plate, nothing between the upper and the ground but the compound itself. The upper is a Flyknit bootie with open mesh at the toe and a collar that pulls on like a sock.
That combination made it a daily trainer with an unusually clean silhouette, which is why the model outlived its performance run. This version works in pink-toned knit with yellow and black detailing at the heel and lacing.
