Any active runners in here with over 100 miles on their Epic Reacts? Curious how the shoe is holding up for you, as well as pics of the current condition, mainly the sole.
Been rotating between these, my Racers and Zoom Fly's for runs but thinking I'm going to make these my primary shoes moving forward.

I've put 426.2 miles on my OG college navy pair. They're my backup easy day shoes now for when it's rainy or muddy. I ran in them almost exclusively on pavement, no trails, I don't like them for that, seems like I feel the rocks too much (pegasus for the trail). I use the Epic React for my easy / recovery runs. Going 45 minutes or as long as 2 hours. I've never run anything hard in them, mostly because the upper is too flimsy for that IMO. I also think the midsole is too flexible for speed, and for that I like the Zoom Fly and Vaporfly. Even after all that mileage, they still feel alright. I've started in with my grey/white pair now. I've got 3 more backup pairs waiting in the wings too cuz these things feel so great. Images are attached.

For anyone who doesn't want to wait, you can buy those OG white/blue/pink from prodirect running right now. I bought 2 pair and they shipped 2 days ago.

Prodirect posted about this last week on instagram, maybe they were a bit early? The originally showed back up on their site and most of the sizes were gone, but now you can only get to them via that direct link BUT all of the sizes seem to be in stock.

People were calling the React Element 87s the "sneaker of the year?" Didn't they say the same **** a few months ago when the SW Air Max 97/1s came out? ******* more indecisive than me trying to pick out a food item at a restaurant.
All negativity aside, neither shoe has made an impact as much as THE Epic React Flyknit. THAT is the introductory model, and THAT is the shoe that is making such an impact especially with its wide availability.

I don’t believe so. It’s just the simple currency conversion, but I don’t believe there’s a fee

I still like these but after seeing a few girls wearing them in the gym I can’t get with it haha I’d enjoy the navy pair though. My grey pair comes in today actually, love these for running.

I went ahead and ordered. Guess we'll see. Almost bought them last week for $225 so I'm happy, regardless when they ship.
