Nike REACT ....INSTANT GO

[charleslin]

So consensus is this pair is a bit more snug compared to Vapormax?

Vapormax is a shoe I just can't really wear.

I'm a true US13, and Flyknit Racer US13 fits perfectly. But Vapormax is US13 is snug especially at the lace area, and US14 which I tried was a tad too long. There's no US13.5 either, so I guess this shoe is also out for me.

how much more snug can a shoe be if its more snug than vapormax?

 

[Mr Dink]

Why?

The heat map I posted sums it up for me. That area supposedly requires the most focus, therefore they added more foam there but it just made my foot feel unstable, causing me to supinate. At least Lunar is just a flat layer of foam. Sure, it doesn't offer the "bounce" that React does but I don't need that. What I'm looking for at the very least is good impact absorption and Lunar provides that just fine. Again, just my opinion.

It's very snug.

 

[Mr Dink]

Will still probably buy a pair or 2, though.

But doesn't Lunar bottom out and lose the cushion it provides much faster? I love Lunar too but after wearing it for a while it just seemed to give out and then it wasn't good at all. Hopefully React doesn't have that issue.

if you are saying these are worse than Lunar and still buying two pair?

I’m waiting for a bred colorway, also can’t wait to see what other mods they put this tech on

 

[jaynev]

Pretty good insight about the midsole cushioning being encapsulated on the hyperdunks. Good comparison mentioning the Vaporfly 4% too

Not my video but not a bad video for those who plan on running in them

I didn't see any falling apart? Did I miss something?

I didn't say this shoe was bad, I just like Lunar better.

Well I don't know how long this React cushion will last, but with most Foam based cushioning, I pretty much expect the cushion to bottom out sooner than later. Only foam-based running shoe I've worn that still feels just as good as day 1 are the Brooks Glycerin.

I realize I'm weird but even a shoe in my heavy rotation gets worn like 15 times a year so I couldn't care less about this bottoming out stuff. I'll leave that for you healthy runner folks.

Amen! Lol.

Had my navy pair from RunnerInn cancelled. Apparently, they weren't available? And yet they are still selling them on their site...

My experience with this site in the past has been cancellations and spam emails from their other sites. YMMV.

Runnerinn sucks.

 

[shawndavinci]

These vs Lunar Epics vs Zoom Flys vs Max 270, I wonder which is the softest cushioning

 

[stillin729]

unless you run daily, you shouldn't even talk about bottoming out and all that BS

if you are just walking around in them all this talk is mute

Until I try on the React, I can tell you this ZF >> Lunar Epics any time any day.

Rory rocking the epic react.

[crh1979]

Yeah, that CW is my favorite of the ones we've seen so far

 

[stillin729]

2/5 colorway is my favorite so far

you knew Nike is gonna drop an Off White version at some point

 

[doug3fresh]

I initially thought the all white is the route I’m going to take but I don’t know that blue and pink are a nice touch. Might give it more of a summer feel, makes it pop.
