Injury Prevention Sneakers

Nike Created Two Sneaker Designs to Reduce Running Injuries

There are a number of things that can be done to reduce running injuries and thanks to two new sneaker styles, Nike is making that task as simple as slipping on a pair of shoes. The Nike React Infinity Run 2 and the Nike ZoomX Invincible Run styles represent the brand's mission to keep runners going strong by offering the right level of support, cushioning and performance features.

The React Infinity Run 2 has an updated Flyknit upper, a breathable midfoot with enhanced support from Nike Flywire cables and a collar that creates more comfort without adding bulk. While the aforementioned sneaker is an updated silhouette that's been improved with new features, the ZoomX Invincible Run is an entirely new running shoe solution with responsive foam and rocker geometry.
