[Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-infinityrn-4) introduces a new iteration of the signature Odyssey React running silhouette and it is complete with floral and fauna patterns all throughout the uppers. The sneakers boast a predominantly black color as black nylon materials make up the entire foundation.

The dark material is contrasted by bright [floral graphics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atmos-pink-and-adidas) that decorate the entire upper with the exception of the heel cap. Branding details are incorporated in the form of the iconic Swooshes on the sides and branding that reads "Epic React" at the heel tab and the counter. All of this sits atop the signature [React foam midsole](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-vomero-18) accompanied by a TPU heel clip in light green to match the light green outsoles crafted from traction-sensible rubber.
