Nike React Ianga History
Nike has built technologies that have become a breakthrough in the industry. With hopes to address the runners’ wishes in having a shoe with better cushioning and energy return while being lightweight and durable, Nike React was made. It was a great feat as most foams could only offer one or the other and it was impossible to have all four. It slowly gained recognition by runners with some stating that they wanted to run even more. Though it is usually used for running shoes, this technology was first featured in the basketball shoe Nike React Hyperdunk 2017 and has brought positive results.
In 2019, Nike takes on another conceptual endeavor. To pay homage to the contributions of Bill Bowerman as a major to the 10th Mountain Division during World War II, it released the 10th Collection. The series adds functional features to their footwear made to stand in different conditions. Currently, there are two React-based sneakers that have joined the collection and took on a combat-ready silhouette.
One of the two is the Nike React Ianga. First released in September 2019, this sneaker blends the function of a military boot with the stylings of the silhouettes React Element 55 and React Element 87. Its canvas leather upper added with some modern details brings offers the function of a boot while its React midsole provides long-lasting comfort. It also has “the 10th” label added at the side close to the collar.
