Flyknit Appraisal

Nike Epic React Flyknit Running Shoes

This is a pair of Nike Epic React Flyknit running shoes, characterized by their innovative Flyknit upper and thick React foam midsole. The upper is constructed from a grey, marled engineered knit material that provides a sock-like fit with varying weave patterns for breathability and support. Notable features include a prominent light-grey Nike Swoosh on the lateral side, a stabilizing heel clip in a semi-translucent green plastic, and a yellow foam accent strip above the textured white midsole. The midsole is made of high-rebound React foam with a complex geometric pattern molded into it for targeted cushioning. Regarding condition, the shoes show significant signs of wear and structural failure. Most notably, the yellow outsole at the toe of the front shoe has completely delaminated and is curling upward. There is visible dirt accumulation and staining across the white foam midsoles and the grey knit upper. The shoe laces appear somewhat frayed, and there is general scuffing on the plastic heel counters. These were originally released around 2018. Despite the technical craftsmanship, the severe sole separation significantly impacts the item's utility and value.
