Nike\u2019s React cushioning technology features a high energy return foam, which actually first featured in Nike\u2019s basketball shoes back in 2017. Because it generates an even higher return than Nike\u2019s own Lunarlon soles, it was only a matter of time before React made an appearance in the brand&#8217;s running line.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22586\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.pricecheck.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/nike-react-element-87-release-date-price-feature-00.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/nike-react-element-87-release-date-price-feature-00.jpg 800w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/nike-react-element-87-release-date-price-feature-00-300x180.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/nike-react-element-87-release-date-price-feature-00-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Epic React <\/strong>is a dedicated runner that\u2019s far more function than form and a what&#8217;s set to have a serious go at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/search?search=adidas%20boost&amp;utm_source=blog.pricecheck.co.za&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=PriceCheck%20Blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adidas&#8217; Boost<\/a> technology (we\u2019ll have to see about that, though).
