Nike Aims to Reduce Common Running Injuries with Its Latest Shoe Launch

Nike Aims to Reduce Common Running Injuries with Its Latest Shoe Launch On the heels of the New York City Marathon, Nike has announced it's effort to create a future where no runner suffers sport-related injury. The brand announced the launch of the Nike React Infinity Run. A shoe designed to prioritize cushioning, help reduce injury, and keep runners, well, running. The Nike React Infinity Run is designed with improved foam cushioning for optimal impact absorption. It also has a rocker-like bottom that creates a more fluid transition from heel to toe. The results of a running study showed that the Nike React Infinity Run had a 52% lower injury rate than the Nike Structure 22. Runners in the study also confirmed that they felt less pain in both their feet and their knees, according to Nike. The Nike React Infinity Run will retail for $160 when it hits stores in January.
