Introducing the Nike React Infinity Run, designed to help reduce running-related injuries
For runners, it’s no longer a debate about the influence of shoes on the frequency of injuries. This is why getting a good shoe for running is a popular head-scratcher.

According to a brand manifesto released by Nike, “We've always believed that running is about more than just winning races. It’s about empowering runners to make progress with every stride.
But it's tough to make strides if you can’t keep runners on their feet. Year after year, too many runners have been sidelined by chronic injuries. We know that for runners, there’s one thing that hurts worse than an injury...not running.
So we thought maybe it’s time somebody did something about it. Maybe it’s time we started asking ourselves some outlandish new questions.
What if every day off was a decision? What records could they break if we had record numbers chasing them? Or simply put, what if everyone who trained for a race actually made it to the starting line?”
Before the release, Nike did a test with runners using other shoes and the React Infinity. Results showed that the injuries reduced by a whopping 52%.
Some of the things that make the Nike React Infinity so cool include the stability which it gives runners. The round-shaped midsole ensures an ultra-smooth heel to toe transition. This also gives the runner a nice feeling of cushion and support.
Stability in this shoe is top-notch. The Nike React Infinity has a wider base designed to maintain stability through transitions. This gives runners a wide stance, lateral stability and stable underfoot feel.
The entire base is flared up on all sides and this makes landing comfortable. It makes you aware of where your feet are so you can land firmly.
There is also protection from underfoot stress provided by the more react foam at the taller midsole.
Another impressive thing about the Nike React Infinity is the tough rubber underneath. Even after several uses, the leather still provides lots of spring. This makes this shoe a very durable one, thus providing value for your money.
The Nike React Infinity is a perfect shoe for seasoned runners and newer runners. Whether you are a short distance runner or higher mileage runner, this casual shoe is perfect for you.
