The Nike Epic React Flyknit 2 sneakers are just that — epic.

Right off the bat, the second generation of these kicks is the new and improved style taking the industry by storm. Originally meant to be nothing more than a continuation to the original, the 2’s have now become one of Nike’s top-selling products.

In fact, Nike chemists were so dedicated to furthering the 2’s that they dedicated three years solely to its design. Before deciding on just one concept, chemists trialed and tested every concept under the sun for the best materials and methods before finally reaching this React foam technology. The React Foam Sole utilizes durable React technology that in fact defies all odds!

The 2’s are not only the softest but the most responsive sneaker on the market.

In order to reach the oh-so-comfy foam, Nike turned to the pros. The professional athletes, we mean! Hoping to create a sneaker that could match the ones worn by top athletes, Nike optimized data to match an athlete’s current performance to amplify performance. In turn, the designers were able to shape a sole by utilizing computational design. Our minds are blown with how futuristic this footwear is!

The new and improved model also features better than ever features. Now 5% lighter than the first model and 13% lighter than the LunarEpic’s Lunarion foam, the 2’s are so light it’s like walking on air. In fact, that’s actually what one reviewer went ahead and compared these shoes to. Featuring some of the traditional Nike features, the Flyknit upper still conforms to a runner’s foot for combined comfort and support. In fact, these sneakers were so comfortable, one first-time wearer didn’t want to take them off! Who knew these sneakers would be our forever sole-mate. Not us!

In such a short time, these fan-favorite sneakers have become one of Nike’s most popular in the running collection. Sure, the sneaker was designed with running-focused activities in mind, but it’s attracted an audience all over. The smooth, lightweight performance is so beyond, it’s attracting an audience beyond runners, too.

With its updated heel clip and larger “swoosh” logo, Nike went as far as to make this futuristic footwear fashion-forward too! It comes as no surprise that this sleek style has attracted so many fashion lovers with its highly versatile silhouette. Surely, we can understand why this style has become so wildly popular!

Since these come in six sensational shades, it’s hard to choose a favorite. In fact, one reviewer didn’t just opt for one stunning shade, they opted for multiple stunning shades.

Truthfully, we can hardly blame them. The plum dust pair as well as the wolf grey shade are oh-so-stunning. The plum dust is the perfect pink! It’s loud and commanding, all while being subtle enough. This loud pair was such a contrast from the wolf grey shade which is an everyday essential. The off-white tone is ideally paired with a darker grey hue. It’s sensational for any and every event. Surely, it’s a no-brainer why the countless reviewers are eagerly awaiting their next pair. Dare we go ahead and recommend black/sapphire/lime blast/black rendition. Why pick one color when these black beauties highlight almost shade under the sun!

We’d highly recommend any sneaker lover looking for the latest and greatest model to opt for the pair that reviewers are calling the most comfortable, must-have ever.
