Second version of a shoe that is on everyone's lips, the Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit 2 is presented as an evolution of its original version with the firm purpose of continuing to improve the running experience of the runner, maintaining that successful combination of cushioning and great energy return, and with that particular midsole that is able to minimize the risk of injury.

As with the first ones, these Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit 2 running shoes have been tested in a study with 226 men and women during a 12-week training program. The results have left very clear evidence when it comes to the frequency of pain related to running, with no significant differences with respect to the Nike React Infinity Run.

In that study, which compared the Nike React Infinity Run and the Nike Zoom Structure 22, the following data were obtained:

  • 303 of runners who employed the Nike Air Zoom Structure 22 skipped 3 or more consecutive sessions.

With the endorsement of this study as a training shoe capable of reducing injuries, the main novelties of the Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit 2 are located in its upper, where Nike s product developers have renewed the look of the model by combining the exclusive Flyknit fabric with the efficient Flywire technology. In this way, this shoe is able to guarantee a higher level of support and breathability. But the important fact is that these features appear in the points where it is most necessary to run more comfortably.

In short, thanks to the application of the most advanced technologies, these React Infinity Run Flyknit 2 also reinforce that feeling of durability, on the one hand; and stability, on the other hand, especially in an area as sensitive as the midfoot. All garnished with a very good breathability.

In this second version of the React Infinity, the sensations are maintained in reference to that soft tread that is achieved through the light and reactive React foam. As Nike points out, with 24% more foam, and strategically distributed throughout the midsole to increase cushioning, rebound and also contribute to mitigate possible injuries.

Of course it also retains that particular rocker design to provide more flexibility, fluidity and cushioning in each phase of the foot strike cycle. While its outsole mounts a rubber outsole, which ensures responsive durability and grip.
