We’ll happily admit that sometimes when we recommend sales on Nikes, they’re only available in goofy colors. We’re talking “Club Gold” and “Red Orbit” — the kinds of sensationalized pigments only seen in the 120-count Crayola box. But it’s worth it because Nike’s running tech is, for all intents and purposes, way better than everyone else.
For those unwilling to wear these colors, today is your lucky day: the Nike Epic React Flyknit 2 running sneakers are on rare sale at Nordstrom for 40% off. Why is it rare? Because not only are they available in pretty much every size, the two colorways are black and white, and black and gunsmoke. Yes, normal, universal colors that pair well with even your most flamboyant 5K T-shirt.
If you’re not familiar with the Epic React Flyknit 2 — we get it, there are a lot of descriptors happening — what you’re getting is a high-performance running shoe that packs in a lot of the brand’s professional technology without making it inaccessible to newcomers. Basically, the upper combines superior breathability while also conforming to your foot, an updated heel molding adds stability and the React foam offers some of that energy return you’ve heard so much about.
And if you’re not much of a runner, they’re just as comfortable walking to the doughnut shop.
