Nike REACT ....INSTANT GO

[alchemist iq]

Translucent textile upper, fused with a mesh textile padding, really good cushioning tooling....I've seen this before.

Nothing new here, just a Nike's using up to date designs with the react aka "lunarlon 2.0"

One of the things Nike is fantastic at manufacturing is 'Hype' itself. They lost their mo-jo just a little back when Adi seemed to be taking a page out of their 'limited playbook', but Nike seems to have their game back. Cost of materials, cost to produce, don't matter. What matters is how well they produce hype. They seem to be doing a good job with the Element 87s and React in general (the Epic Reacts move very well in stores in my area). Was in two Nike Factory stores this past July 4th holiday week. Would have thought they were giving stuff away or it was the week before Christmas, and that's outlet quality stuff, old models, etc.

All the current Nike hype you can thank Virgil for. If not for him doing The Ten, then Ye and Adidas would still be running the hype game.

Unfortunately, there’s waaaaaay more that goes into the final price of a shoe other than raw material and production costs.

i know right, but hey gotta keep the machine rolling!

 

[mrdiiing]

Sorry if I missed it, but was there a consensus on how the 87s fit?

Actually only those tan ones and the grey crimsons are excluded the olive and sparks are on discount. i picked up the sparks instead

So I’ve worn these maybe 5 times and I’m noticing some areas fading away. I can imagine durability being an issue with these.

 

[SlamShut]

When people were crowning these shoe of the year, they meant a year is as long as they will stay together. Enjoy them while they last.....

 

[tankdayglo]

I haven't owned a pair of Zoom Fly SPs, do the uppers of those have durability issues?

 

[over30andwhat]

The do literally feel like a disposable shoe

 

[eddiemcnasty]

luckily they're only $160

 

[over30andwhat]

Don’t get me wrong, I love them, luckily I grabbed both the sails and the blacks. I will say however that Nike must make huge profit margins on them, they don’t even have any tissue/cardboard inserts!

That’s too much for a shoe this cheap. Better made shoes are sold for less.

The only upside is if it were cheaper everyone would take L’s . More L’s than ppl already gonna take

 

[blastercombo]

But but.... shoe of the year doe?

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

I dislike who ever started that

now look what we have to deal with it
