The reality: putting the React Infinity Run Flyknit to the test gently guiding the foot in a smooth, straight line, reducing side-to-side wobbling and movement, thus reducing the chance of injury. The above attributes result in a shoe that provides a reassuring feel. As well as providing a sock like feel and a lightweight fit, the Flyknit Loft is also stronger and more durable than the previous iterations. This version of the React Infinity Run features a Flyknit Loft upper, the all new version of Flyknit technology. This provides support for the 3 phases of a runner's stride: flexibility at toe-off, a smooth ride at mid-stance and cushioning at contact.
The heel counter has been structured with a plastic clip going around the heel towards the side of the foot in order to guide the foot at each footstrike.įor a stable yet plush ride, the shape of the React midsole follows a rocker-geometry. The shoe has been designed with a wider base than previous versions to provide a more stable ride. It shows minor degradations in its cushioning properties even past 500+ miles, helping to keep you on the run. The React foam is also known to be highly durable. For this model, Nike have added more foam (24%) at the forefoot and heel to provide extra cushioning. The React Infinity Run incorporates Nike's famous React technology: an energetic, super soft foam providing a lively sensation underfoot. Yet also works for the more stable runner looking for support during longer runs or when they are tired. This model works well for runners needing more pronation control. The Nike React Infinity Run is a Stability Soft shoe that provides plush cushioning with added stability, in an incredibly lightweight package. The theory: a stable, lightweight shoe with supreme cushioning The study compared the Nike Air Zoom Structure (a traditional motion control shoe) and React Infinity Run Flyknit, a shoe which 'offers a more democratic solution to stability, and an advance from traditional motion-control designs.’įor the purpose of the study, Nike defined getting injured as “missing three consecutive workouts due to running-related pain”.
This involved 226 runners who followed a 12-week variable training programme towards a half marathon. Nike commissioned a study through the British Columbia Sports Medicine Research Foundation (BCSMRF) to test whether the combination of technologies deemed by Nike capable of lowering injury rate, really worked. Nike recently unveiled its newest running shoe, the Nike React Infinity Run, billed to do exactly that. This question spurred Nike to focus their efforts on creating a shoe with the potential to reduce running-related injuries. The idea for the shoe stemmed from a problem and question: "How can an athlete continue to train without succumbing to injury?" In this article, we will look at the story and technology behind the new Nike React Infinity Run shoe.
