We run legit miles in our shoes and provide honest, no BS reviews of running shoes, running gear, and running races.
It’s full blown summer here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 and I wear these everyday as an office shoe and for after work runs. This feels breezy still, I have no ventilation issues.
At $160 with only minor changes over the last iterations, I’ll take the puma velocity nitro 2 and save the $40👍
Robbie, my wife and I absolutely loved the Epic. We own many pairs and still retain some in the closet ready for future use. It was my favorite shoe of all time. Bring it back!!
I agree that the Epic React 1 is the best running shoe ever.
I really, really wish Nike would bring them back. Still one of the best shoes I've ever run in.
@@JL3001 same here. I still miss it to this very day. My favorite trainer to the extent that I'm currently looking on eBay for another pair
I have never bought this shoe before. I love the number 3. I ran a hot 1/2 marathon Race and didn't even notice my feet running it. I mean at all. They just did the job. Fast or slow they did it all.
The Miler in the background was a very good shoe. Very underrated and Robbie give if a positive review.
as an owner of the Infinity React 2, I would love to get these because i find them to be my most comfortable shoes all around, I like the newer bigger chunkier tongue on the 3's but i cannot justify paying $160 when i can get another Infinity react 2 for $100
I just bought these on sale, love it mostly but... had the same problem as Robbe; lockdown was a problem. halfway my interval training, had to adjust cause it got looser halfway my training. The ride; loved it. After 5 min I thought Oh yeah wearing new shoes, this is running without thinking about it which I love. Also the arch- you are right , is a tiny bit less present then in the previous versions I agree. Last note; this shoe, the colour you choose will make a different in fit of the upper. Black ones are tighter. For sure.
did anyone else find when trying the Nike Epic React 2 or og that they absolutely hated it at first, didn’t run in it for awhile then one day just randomly came back to it and it felt amazing? cause that happened to me and i feel like ive heard it from others as well
literally me … i was researching on whether to buy the 3s or rebuy a pair of 2s but the 2s have worked out for me so much recently
Loved the 1st version putting in over 400 daily miles and even a few 10Ks up to half marathon races with no heel slippage or issues with higher arch. Liked them so much even bought a 2nd pair of v1's on a crazy $60 sale that are still in the box in my closet so I can break them out down the road when I feel nostalgic. That said, I thought hard about buying V2 but couldn't justify spending the cash on basically the same shoe as V1. Now with the V3 picking up some more weight and being basically the same React mid and outsole, I Im out on this one too with so many other good and lighter daily options for less $ these days! Great review as always and keep up the good work! Cheers!!! #believeintherun
Generally speaking--apart from their Super Shoes--Nike is losing it in the last 3 years. There is nothing in their line, again apart from their Super Shoes, that excites me. New Balance, Saucony, and even ASICS is where it's at.
This is the year of New Balance I think. So many promising updates and tons of innovations. Helps that their athletes are also killing it too on the track
@@vincevanderperre6484 React is a big flop in most, if not all, Nike shoes that utilize it. With the exception of perhaps some improved durability, it's not as good as Lunar/Lunarlon was.
@@stevestarr9769 that’s objectively wrong but okay.
@@stevestarr9769 React is the perfect workhorse daily training foam. It's bouncy, it gets better with time, it's incredibly durable, far more than any EVA-based foam could ever be. It does have extra weight but for a foam that seemingly never dies and still offers a good feel after 400+ miles it's not even a question as to why it's better than nearly every other foam there is in regards to daily trainers.
Nike just has absolute garbage uppers and their outsoles are abysmal compared to the likes of Saucony. There isn't another training foam that compares aside from FF blast(+) in the sense of durability.
@@jacobwitt2070 React is the best high mileage foam ever made. I wish they could sacrifice some durability, add some air bubbles and make a light version.
You guys are SO GOOD at what you do 😃👏🏻 All the info we want and the humour too 😄
The infinity series is probably my favourite easy day shoe. I too fell in love with the React foam because of the Epic React (I still have one in the cupboard although it's close to threadbare now). The reason that I am not buying the series anymore is the price. I have since switched to the 1080 series. I would go back to Nike if they sold it at the Pegasus price range. I do like the no nonsense ride with a wonderful rocker.
Just wait til they go on sale lol
The thicker upper material will be less breathable in the hot summertime, but it’s ideal for colder months.
Good evenning Believe in the Run and all the runners. Thanks for this video and your humour. Here is my like. A nice week for everyone.
Hilarious guys! The chloroform bit and outtakes had me cracking up! Thanks for the laughs 😁
Infinity 3 is available for $70 USD at East Bay so I had to buy them. Interested to hear reviews of the new invincible coming out in 2023
'Helps with the Ego' ... love the honesty...and I will say it 'Hoka'
My shoe was the Odyssey React 2. By the time I realized it was my new favorite light stability shoe (Rip Lunarglide) it was gone. This is why I’ll never trust Nike again for daily trainers. Structure, LunarGlide, Odyssey - all jacked with no real replacement. If it ain’t a Fly, Ain’t even gonna try.
Robbie's back! 👿
I agree with Thomas - the arch is definitely dialed down. I think the clip is made of a softer plastic maybe? Also those outsoles will probably last through a nuclear war.
Just bought them today for $76.00
Epic react 1 was great. I got 1200KM (745M) in mine and they were still going strong. My Invincibles are feeling a little flat after 400 miles so I have just added the Infinity Run 2 into the rotation. Hopefully they are decent.
I just cannot understand Nike‘s approach to running shoes theses days. It happened with the Terra Kiger from the 5 to the current version, it gains weight and they go away from a show that worked (except for the outsole but they haven‘t improved it). And the same with the React, I loved the Epic React but why would I make this shoe so much heavier when the original worked?
I went away from Nike as running shoes because they are average these days. They still look awesome but other shoes are nice as well - and are simply better / lighter.
Same here. I’ve been running Terra Kigers and Wildhorse’s since the 5th versions. Every year they have gotten bulkier and and so much more complex. I’m switching to the Saucony Peregrine and Xodus Ultra for my rotation now. At least I’ll get some rubber that actually grips.
Fav shoes epic phantom react! Its epic react but without the need of laces. It was great immediately outside the box too. I run in it until the outsole worn out. Then i got myself infinity react, first few runs causing my foot, ankles & knees hurt. I thought it was promoted as to prevent injuries. The shoes force me to run in certain way, instead of letting me run how i normally run
It's like deja-vu all over again....
Hey, they did a retro of the Vomero 5 like 10 years after the original, maybe we’ll get an Epic React retro in 2028.
V1, V2, V3 They’re the best. In my opinion.
I wish these guys were in Portland...And I worked there.
Thomas' previous experience with previous models of this shoe are affecting his judgement lol. I think he want to give it a yellow.
Epic React..Love that shoe!...Agree that is a MUCH better shoe than this. I cannot run in the Infinity Run... I think the forefoot width and higher stack height cause issues for me!
They are very elegant. 😍
Wish Nike made an Epic react with a full ZoomX… like a slimmed-down version of the Invincibles. OR bring back the Peg Turbos with full ZoomX.
Peg turbo is rumored and likely to release again this year.
Peg turbo 3 is most likely gonna be a peg turbo 2 with more eco-friendly materials.... think the alphafly nature
@@jeroen1989 Heard about those… not really excited. The concept sure is good, but I also heard that the ride of the Nature version of the AlphaFly is very different, plus it costs more? If they do that to the Peg 3, I doubt people will be buying those.🤷🏻♂️
It’ll be Pegasus turbo nature, with the recycled zoomx form like that of Alphafly nature, which will be more firmer than the virgin zoomx.
Most important: the Insoles are not glued in anymore…
great video as always. how does this compare to bondi8?
Definitely a much different shoe, Bondi is more plush
react 1 was the best…it’s not even close😭😭😭
I honestly can’t remember the last Nike shoe that lost weight over the prior model.
Pegasus 35(?) Turbo vs peg turbo 2
Last I remember
vomero 16 or infinity run fk 3 for 10 km medium pace running and fast walking ?
Not a fan of these. I like the way they look somewhat but it just doesn't fit the price in my opinion. Not a bad shoe in the least just not a something that exites.
Ciao, tu non le trovi molto piccole? Io di Nike porto in genere tra 42,5 e 43, di queste ho dovuto prendere 44 però ora le sento come se mi sfugge
do you suggest this for an overwheight runner?
There's always the Nimbus Lite 3 😀
Shoes like cars. You would think, things would be better as time goes into the future.
Epic React is so good. I scour eBay and can't find one.
Epic reacts were light, nimble and looked great on the foot. Slick, stylish with great colorways. That's why I loved them too. But they lacked stability and the outsole was quite slippery. And the foam creased badly. Than came Infinity reacts with better stability, better grip but less versatile look. More like a typical running shoe with cheap looking details. Initially they were quite nimble, but after something like 50 miles the foam mushed up and all I could feel was weight of the shoe. And they made weird squeaky noises. Second iteration was even worse. They felt much heavier and I didn't like the look of them at all. Now I have the 3rd version in my hands and even though I like the colorway (DH5392 102) the overall shape and materials still feel wrong to me. Infinity is more like cheaper (and way worse) version of invincible run than a proper successor of epic react line up.
There is no reason to buy this (100$) shoe for 160
Not bad for a $35 running shoe 😅
How does this shoe stack up to new balance 1080v10 for us heavier runners?
Great video. Keep the content coming!!!
I'm looking to buy a pair of trail running shoes for an event I am running in September. I make 3 videos a week about my training, and my latest upload is about running shoes.
In that video I talk about how pink and black is my favourite colour for running shoes, but I can't find a pair of pink and black trail runners. Do you know of any you can recommend?
Wootz!
I BELIEVE 👽
The Epic react (d)evolved into this ?!?......:-(
9:36 - Bobbie is low-key scary
notification gang! BANG!
….the upper looks like a kitchen carpet…..they probably had some old material on stock and used for this new version…..
Why worry too much about shoe weight for a daily trainer? Doesn't this make your legs stronger as the milleage increases? There are plenty of lightweight tempo shoe options when it comes to speed sessions.
I think most of the video reviews here judge a shoe solely by the weight factor.
Groundhog day....
This color way should be called “Cherry-Limeade.” 🍒
Bud bundy!!
Is Dude on the right wearing a fake Mustache?
Rubbish shoes, the tongue on the shoe is about 20 cms long and sticks out like a sore thumb
