People who expected Boost 2.0 are disappointed...and I’m glad

My pair just came in. Glad I went up half size because I have a wide foot. Still feel a little tight in the lace area but I'm sure with more wear they will get loose as they stretch. Otherwise perfect fit. I would call these boost lite....more stable and less sinking feeling than boost. Will see after more runs and more wear how they hold up but I have a feeling the sole will wear down fast

So consensus say these are definitely geared more for running, rather than sitting around the house and on the couch playing video games.

You realize Adidas didn't invent boost, right?

The Boost idiots in here with an agenda are so annoying
Reviews have been very positive on these

Damn, now im torn. The comparison to the vapormax fit has me rethinking. I have a pretty narrow foot and rarely if ever, have fit issues but anytime I've tried on a pair of vapormax, I can't imagine wearing them for an hour let alone run in them. Don't get me wrong, I love the look of them but comfort is not the first thing that comes to mind. Maybe I'd be better off waiting for the 22nd on these when I can try on in store.

i dont think they have a boost agenda.
i think majority of the people buying these are regular sneakerheads who dont run and know the comfort level of the ultra boost.
the epic react is a sleek minimalistic looking shoe that resembles boost and is attracting people whove been rocking adidas for the last couple years who wanna try something new especially from nike.
i dont think people are coming into this thread with the intention of bashing nike and praising adidas. i just think they rock both because were not signed to a contract and shocking nobody has to be brand loyal. its just that in terms of walking around comfort, its pretty hard to beat boost.
i think the disconnect comes from the fact that the nike people here know this shoe was geared toward runners and the ultra boost people came up on these expecting couch comfort. so when the shoe is geared toward running and exercise comfort instead of lifestyle comfort that boost people are looking for, thats where the divide comes in.

Exactly. Ultraboost's are the most comfy shoe Ive ever had and I want Nike to make something similar if not better. These epic reacts dont seem to be that sadly. Whats the point of these if the cushion is similar to lets say lunarglides or lunarepics?

the first thing you said is...
so you tell me, there is a def. undertone of people hoping these aren't good in here hence people keep bringing up the one review of a clear fake pair of Reacts while disregarding all the actual reviews of people who have tested the GR's

Not sure why Boost has to be the standard these days. It's all personal preference though I guess wish I can respect. I think I have more Boost shoes than Nike shoes but I always catch myself wearing my Flyknit Lunar 3s

I’m thinking what he’s saying is that the minimalist approach of shoes that adidas throws boost on (ultra, nmd, pure) resemble certain Nike concepts like the dart, presto, and maybe even huarache.
Boost is amazing, aesthetically and comfort-wise, but it’s essentially just an ultra plush TPU sole. For a while there, Nike just forgot that less is more. Maybe the Roshe brought this concept/trend back.

How in the world does the midsole resemble boost?
but it doesn't resemble to hundreds of lunar and zoom based Nike's has put out over the past decade

I'm surprised people in this thread think Nike hasn't made a Boost killer already... it's called Zoom X. And it's called Zoom Vaporfly 4%.
I've owned probably 20+ UltraBoost, NMD, and EQTs. And the Vaporfly 4% is already springier and more cloud like. Comparable to an EQT boost for sink into shoe cloud likeness. I'm guessing React is just exact 15% softer than Lunarlon which is just Phylon. AKA not even close.

i dont run.
i been buying sneakers (frequently) for almost 20 years. was even a wear tester way back when nike was doing that program.
for my purposes i havent found a more comfortable sneaker than the 93/17s.
but im bored of the boost models that adidas is putting out, and im not brand loyal. so if nike gave me something comparable in comfort and forward design id be all over it.
thats basically what i was trying to confer

Same here! I wish Nike would bring back the Lunar Ones like they did the Flyknit Trainers.

If you’re looking for Nike’s UB like shoe as far as feel and comfort I’d say it’s the LE2 reacts don’t look to be anything like a UB...
