We Have Some Pairs of the Nike Epic React Flyknit Available In-Store

We recently held a raffle to win the right to purchase Nike's new and coveted running shoe, the Nike Epic React Flyknit.

Well, some of the winners didn't pick their shoes up by the deadline and others changed their mind.

Good news for you, the rest of the unclaimed pairs have been put on our shelves at our Old Town, South Loop, and Lincoln Square stores for a first come, first serve purchase. Stock is extremely limited for now but we'll be receiving a new batch with new colors in April. 

If you haven't heard about them, let us give you a quick run down on why the shoe is currently taking the running shoe scene by storm.

The Nike Epic React Flyknit is Nike's newest running shoe. It utilizes a brand-new cushioned foam technology called React.

It's soft and returns a lot of energy.

The Nike Epic React Flyknit is even softer than the Lunarlon foam that came before it. How much softer? 11% softer to be exact. Along with being significantly softer than the Lunarlon foam, the Nike React foam also manages to be 13% bouncier.

It's light.

Nike Epic React is 5% lighter than the LunarEpic Low Flyknit 2, making it one of the lightest incredibly-cushioned shoes you can buy.

It's durable.

Nike gave their testers React shoes that had been worn for at least 500 miles, and sent them on a run. When they returned, we asked them how many miles they thought the shoes had on them. The highest answer was 100. The lowest was “brand-new.”And the average was around 15 miles. That’s what we call durable.
