What is Nike React?

Basketball is a game that requires players to move in all sorts of directions. Basketball players are expected to run, jump, sidestep, and drive among a multitude of other movements the game may require during the heat of competition.

Given the high demands of mobility and agility, basketball players need a shoe that will cater to these sudden bursts of speed and will be able to handle the rigors of a basketball game.

Nike, the Oregon-based sportswear brand, recently introduced Nike React – a revolutionary foam cushioning set up that fuses comfort, consistency, and longevity all in one package.

“Foam can be lightweight. Or it can be resilient. But usually it can’t be both of these things and durable. And that hurdle was the impetus for Nike’s innovation teams, including cushioning experts and chemical engineers, to come together to develop a foam that could offer not just two of those benefits, but all three at once. The result is Nike React, Nike’s latest cushioning innovation and a significant breakthrough in footwear foam.”

Nike React promises a soft and springy ride but at the same time offers stability and maximum energy return that allows athletes to focus on the game instead of on their gear.

Nike implemented its latest cushioning innovation on two of its most premier basketball models – the Nike React Hyperdunk 2017 and the Jordan Super.Fly 2017. Basketball players from all over the world will have a chance to try on Nike React beginning August 3rd during its global release.
