It is composed of Nike’s Flyknit material, which has been updated for better comfort and overall support. Zack: This upper is great, and I found it very soft, and comfortable. The heel collar is conserved from version 2, though the heel collar gains a little bulk. Last year, I thought the upper was a bit “baggy” in spots - that’s definitely fixed, and I’m a big fan of this year’s offering.įor the little things - the tongue is now slightly more padded and comes up higher on your foot (which is generally a bad thing, but in this case a non-issue). There may be some difference in elasticity based on the orientation of the knit, but I couldn’t discern it. There’s a mix of directionality to the weave - I didn’t find that to make a difference in terms of fit or lock. It’s a weird mix, I admit, but it’s done well here. Even on an 85° “spring” day, I didn’t find the material to be too hot, and it’s really quite stretchy - “sock-like” is the go-to adjective here, but I don’t have any socks with quite this much plush to them that still maintain elasticity. A look through my previous RTR reviews will tell you I’m a fan of knit uppers, and Nike has nailed it here. Michael: First off, the upper - it’s right there in the name, but the Flyknit material here is as good as ever. It definitely made me excited for a 3rd iteration, which i am pleased to say performed quite well and matches it’s predecessor very nicely. The first one was terrible and had left me with upper foot pain with weeks, but the second iteration was very good, and made racking up miles a pleasure. Zack: I have a lot of experience with the Infinity lineup from Nike, well, actually all of the Infinity shoes. I know, I know, Nike makes all sorts of shoes for all sorts of sports, and there are still those who think Nikes can’t be “real” trainers - but when it comes down to it, the Infinity React 3 is something really cool, and different, and though it’s not perfect, I did have a lot of fun running in it. Michael: Something about the Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit 3 (I am going to be calling this the “Infinity React 3” or “React 3” or some variation thereof, so just bear with me) just makes you want to go out and run.
