Nike REACT ....INSTANT GO

[illustrayt]

A handful of extreme WMNs sized ER1s and ER2s (size 9 and up) are on sale at my local clearance store for $40 minus another 20% off ($32 before taxes).

NDC was good to me this week.

How’s the Infinity’s insole?

 

[1smartalec]

They came in while I was at work this morning, so 4mi NRC run then 1.5mi cool down midday as opposed to my early morning runs. 72°F & light mist.

First takeaways:
-More React & Softer React = Louder React. I’m sure after breaking them in the squishing sound probably dissipates. It almost sounds like a VaporMax when walking around. When running, you can hear it, less muted though.
-At different speeds, heel to toe transition feels good.
-Feels like a closer cousin to the Pegasus Turbo. Has the softer ride but without the somewhat sinking feeling of React + ZoomX.
-Very roomy, hence the stance socks. I have maybe a little more than thumb width’s space from the front of my foot to the tip of the shoe. I may try a 12.5 to see the difference.
-Difference in the new/different flyknit material is negligible, you don’t even really notice it.
-I don’t like the bunching of the flyknit material on the tongue over the top of your foot when tightening/lacing.

Overall, a step up over the Epic React since it has been laid to rest. I guess time will tell if it lives up to the claims of fewer injuries and more runs, etc.

Epic Reacts retailed at £130. Infinity’s are £140.

 

[salacious crumb]

Yes. I think he meant a $10 increase. As epic react flyknit 1 and 2 are $150. Infinity react are $160 retail.

The thunder grey/ocean fog finally dropped to $99.95. Hope there will be a promo code soon. Have 3 CW in mind.

Picked these up at the outlet today. $71 out the door.. Didn’t even know they had 3M on them until I got home. Very pleased by this pick up.

Don’t think I have ever seen that CW

I actually saw that one but went wit the blue/white pair instead. Didn’t know it has 3M either.

Dont worry, I’m sure more of the 2’s will be more widely available soon as Nike is ending the epic read series, so the old model has to make way for the new one. The cycle confines.

Sucks it only has 2 iterations of the epic flyknit.

Now that ERs are obsolete and have run their course, which ER1 or 2 was your favorite cw?

The Taupe cw takes the top spot for me

I've gotten more random compliments on my South Beach 1s than damn near any other shoe in my rotation, so I'll go with those as my favorite.

Honorable mention would be the multicolor 1s.

 

[salacious crumb]

These take it for me. No, mine never popped and made noises running, walking, etc. Guess I was fortunate for an early release pair not to have that problem.

The pair I wanted the most but don’t have is the “Belgium” pair.

 

[illustrayt]

I’ll admit that the “popping” issue steered me away from giving these a shot at first. I’m glad I had a change of heart.

 

[gwizzle]

Omg their was pages of “popping nonsense”
So annoying lol

My favorite ERs btw

think I have 6 IDs & 5 GRs ERs...

I took the Infinity Run out for a decent 5 miler this afternoon. I wasn’t sure how these would perform as I had worn Vomero 14’s yesterday and the IR felt a little mushy when I first put them on; however, once I started running they worked well.

I’m a forefoot striker and these work well with my stride. I took them on a rolling hills 5 mile route that I typically run on the weekends. You can definitely feel the added cushion and if you land on the sweet spot in the forefoot/mid foot it’s got a nice bounce. Everything I read was that they are for easy days. I would consider this more of a medium effort and the shoe handled paces from 6:28 to 5:56 per mile fine. Hoping to get these out for some more runs this week and break them in a little more.

saw the IR in-person at nike 5th ave in nyc today; the pink-ish color was a little less loud than i expected. they also had the black and white pair. stoked to have mine in-hand tomorrow.

 

[JRizzo5o2]

how many pairs do y’all have? Think I have 10 pairs, 5 GRs, & 5 IDs

Only 5 pairs for me, 3 GRs and 2 IDs... Need a few more before they start to dry up.

All nice. I never made one, but if the infinity react has that option. I might make one, hopefully with a lot of choices and colors available.

That’s one pair I regret passing on.

Debating on the black or grey pair... decisions . How did the black look in person?

It Wasn’t nonsense it was serious. I had to give my OG navy’s and black/blue ones back because of that and only the black re released

it's a clean look. if you want something simple and not vibrant like the white/pink cw, the black is for you
