Have you set yourself a running goal for 2018? If not please do as there is a good news for all you running enthusiasts: today Nike launched their much-awaited shoe ‘Nike Epic React Flyknit’ in India.
Runners have been asking for a shoe that could answer all their running queries. Nike innovators and designers came together to deliver a solution in the form of a foam, called ‘Nike React’. This is the first running shoe from Nike that will feature proprietary foam technology. This offers extra cushioning on impact, giving runners the extra energy in return every time they hit the floor.

Proprietary Technology is used to deal with wear and tear of impact for elite and everyday runners alike. The shoe’s upper is simple. The forefoot, toe, and arch are sculpted thanks to the one-piece Nike Flyknit bootie that was precision-engineered for support, flexibility, and breathability in the spots where runners need it.

Nike React foam is significantly softer than EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate)-based foams of the past and it handles bumps in the road more effectively. To solve the “bottoming-out” problem, designers extended the midsole beyond the perimeter of its upper around the heel to provide both the cushioning runners want and the stability they need.
As the upper part of the shoe sits on one piece of foam, the outsole is essentially the same as the midsole. However, a segment of rubber under the forefoot and heel for adds traction and helps enhance the shoe's durability. In addition to this, the heel shelf stabilises the back of your foot to help keep your heel from rocking as your foot lands. The synthetic suede heel lining, in turn, helps prevent slippage and blisters
