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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flyknit-venture) upper, a breathable midfoot with enhanced support from Nike [Flywire](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gt-cut-3) 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.
