![]() That’s at least 2-ounces lower than competing shoes using PU-based foams. The Epic React weighs just 8.4 ounces for a half pair of US size 10. Some of the other cushioned shoes in the market like the adidas UltraBoost 19 and Brooks Levitate provide high-volume cushioning but at the cost of higher weight. What’s fascinating about shoes like the Epic React and Pegasus Turbo are their incredible cushioning-to-weight ratios. ![]() While there were a few shortcomings – such as the foam firming up in freezing temps and the subsequent loss in grip – the Epic React proved to be a versatile running shoe capable of wearing many hats. The first edition of the Epic React impressed us with its lightweight, durable, and responsive cushioning. On the other hand, if you’ve been living under a rock and have no idea of what we just said, read on. If you already have a pair of the Epic React V1, here is pretty much everything you need to know about the V2. Other minor updates include the embroidered Swoosh logo and a small change in the lacing eyestay design. The updated heel design also makes the inward looping strap a non-issue. While the V2 has a similar design with elastic knit, the upper has an easier fit due to the softer heel. Most of the small tweaks are applied to the V2’s Flyknit upper. With this change, the ride stability sees a marginal improvement. The V2’s upper has a new heel truss which now connects to the plastic stabilizer over the midsole. ![]() The ride of the Epic React V2 is identical to the V1, except for one slight difference. If that’s the case, we’ll save you the trouble of reading the entire piece today. If you’re reading this, then we assume that you’ve read our detailed review of the first Epic React.
