"When I ran it, there was also a feeling that it bounced while being fuzzy, it was not as soft as the same Nike" Lunaron ", and that's why it is not that hard, so even in Nike's history it will be categorized as a new shoe There was such a feeling that it was not like it anymore. "
Mr. Akimoto who knows the history of Nike and has worn numerous shoes has said that he felt the feeling he had never seen before as he entered his feet. It has material and performance not so much in conventional running shoes.
Finally, I went running sessions with runners gathered at the recital and actually experienced running with Nike Epic React Flyknit (Nike Epic React Fly knit).

First of all, I asked the athlete what he / she wants for running shoes. Then, "cushioning property" "resilience" "light weight" "durability" We were seeking shoes that fulfilled all four properties.
However, these four properties are at the opposite side, it is difficult to combine everything with one material.
Because it is necessary to use a soft material if emphasis is placed on cushioning property, and a hard material with energy return if it is desired to rebound, because it was thought impossible to combine these conflicting materials.
Ernesto Kim, director of running and advanced footwear at Nike, compared this contradictory material to "pillow" and said:
Imagine a pillow of fluffuka at home.The head sinks in order to absorb all its weight when putting your head on a pillow? The running shoes sought by athletes must add resilience there It is really hard to make a pillow that incorporates the two properties. "
So, how did you clear the subject?
There was the use of a new dimension cushioning material "Nike React (Nike React)" which appeared in June 2017 for basketball.
It is originally used for "NIKE REACT HYPER DUNK 2017" and "JOURDAN SUPER FLY 2017" which are still on sale, and has "softness" "elasticity" "stability" to meet the needs of basketball players.
If there is something similar to what the runner is looking for, they are adopted as materials for running shoes. By doing so, we succeeded in creating a dream running shoe that combines "cushioning", "resilience", "light weight" and "durability" in a well-balanced manner.
And in order to make full use of this technology, there are also particular attention to the design method and surface structure of the sole. It improves the cushioning property at the deep part of the groove by changing the depth of the sole's groove for each part. On the contrary, it is that it keeps the hardness in the shallow part and increases the resilience.
Also, by scraping away materials other than parts that are not really needed, we are also trying to reduce the weight of the shoes.
In addition to these, "Nike React (Nike React)" is the longest lasting form in Nike history, and it has durability to give the runner "energy to run farther".
When I ran each runner a total of 27,300 kilometers during the test run in development, I was able to demonstrate high performance all the time.
"Even if I participate in the full marathon many times in a year, it is a shoe that can meet the needs of the runner," Kim also emphasized the high durability.
In the second half Mr. Akimoto Shingo, a coach of NIKE + RUN CLUB, appeared as a guest. I actually felt this new shoes and experienced it, I gave my impression like this.
