Odyssey React Running Shoe - Men's

Whether your next odyssey takes you across the county or around the block, you can rest assured that it'll be filled with tons of responsive comfort thanks to the Nike Odyssey React Running Shoe. This shoe features Nike's React cushioning, a super-responsive midsole compound that returns as much energy as you put into it, ensuring a bouncy and energized stride during your whole run. It goes far beyond just a couple long runs, however. Whereas in the past ultra-responsive midsoles have tended to break down over time, running companies are now focusing on longevity to ensure that your cushioning holds up as long as the rest of the shoe. Nike is certainly all aboard this train, putting React through countless miles of hard testing by their top athletes, resulting in a soft cushioning that'll keep its pop after roughly 300 miles.

The Odyssey is more than just its cushioning though—it's got a bunch of other features to help you make the most of your miles. The upper features a breathable jaquard fabric with a more open knit to keep your feet cool and comfortable no matter how hard you're cranking. Lightweight foam around the collar boosts comfort, while a stretchy inner sleeve hugs the foot for a secure, sock-like fit. The built-in heel shelf prevents your heel from rocking during landings, and thanks to the reinforced rubber on the outsole you've got traction that lasts as long as the rest of this durable and innovative trainer.
