The experience of running in the React Infinity Run is very unique in both its cushioning and ride.
#NIKE INFINITY REACT SERIES#
This is a shoe that most closely resembles the most well cushioned and protective shoes on the market including the New Balance 1080v10, Hoka’s Bondi or Clifton 6, Brooks Glycerin 17, ASICS GlideRide, the Adidas Ultraboost, and Nike’s own React and Structure series of shoes. If you’ve run in past versions of the Nike Epic React be ready for a completely different experience. The React Infinity Run doesn’t aim to correct pronation, rather it creates stability due to having a wider platform for the shoe. However, there has never been any evidence to support this and the use of medial posting and dual density midsoles has fallen out of fashion in the last several years as more runners have migrated back to neutral shoes. Reducing pronation was thought to reduce stress through the rest of the kinesthetic chain including the knees and hips. The general thinking behind injury prevention in the past with running shoes has been to reduce the amount of pronation (think inward roll) that the foot goes through during the gait cycle. Seems like a very moral pursuit for Nike, a company whose moral compass has been called into question quite a bit in the past year. Its quite something different for a company to take on the inevitable and worst part of our sport injury.Īs one of Nike’s Moonshot projects the idea of creating a shoe that reduces injury and the amount of time that athletes have to avoid running due to various niggles. It is one thing for a running shoe company to try to build the lightest racing flat or best carbon plated marathon racing shoe.
