Nike Men's Odyssey React 2 S Street Running Shoes

Product Information

The upper is made out of two smooth materials, one that makes up most of the midfoot of the upper and another a bit more stretchy material that makes up the toe box, tongue and heel counter of this shoe. Maybe it will get the acceptable temperature threshold down to around 0 degrees Celcius or cancel the wind getting into ankles. A water-repellent upper helps protect your feet from the elements with hazard striped reflective graphics for enhanced visibility. Thankfully, the upper of the Nike Odyssey React Shield 2 trainer is constructed from durable, water repellent mesh and textile, with sealed seams to really keep out the moisture.

The Nike Odyssey React Shield 2 is a solid option for a casual runner or even gym-goer looking for a very comfortable, supportive, “do it all” shoe. Although I like the Epic React foam, I did miss a bit of stability in the upper on the medial as well as the lateral side.Inside the shoe, a stretchy sleeve hugs your foot from the ankle to the midfoot, giving you a locked-in fit and a comfortable, sock-like feel.

My foot slipped in easily, plenty of room in the toe box, the upper is secure and breathable, the laces are a good length and tighten well to secure the shoe to the foot, and no issues with heel slippage.

The new Storm Tread rubber, in combination with a wavy pattern and a series of carvings on the midfoot, generates enormous traction over any terrain by repelling water out of the outsole. I wore them when it was pouring rain a few times and my feet stayed completely dry,” the tester said. These shoes incorporate several technologies and improvements that make them surprisingly effective when running on wet terrain, while still maintaining the excellent speed and performance of their street version.

You can put it underneath the insole, but it will sometimes pop out from underneath there and it might irritate your foot.When asked about this shoe’s cushioning, one of our wear testers also stated that the React foam was great for a range of intensities, even after sustained testing.
