I tested Odyssey React Shield 2 in a variety of settings: easy running, sprinting, jogging on the treadmill, and doing some random exercises in the gym. As seen on the feet of sports stars and enthusiastic amateurs alike, today Nike continue their mission to “bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world”. 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.

I wore them when it was pouring rain a few times and my feet stayed completely dry,” the tester said.

A Storm Tread wet rubber outsole delivers optimal grip on wet surfaces while maintaining the smooth, cushioned ride you know and love with React foam. After all, an upper that protects your feet from winter rain, wind, and snow is little without a midsole that you’ll enjoy running on. For reference, I found the fit very similar to the Adidas Ultraboost which has almost become synonymous with the word “sock-like fit” in the comfortable casual shoe wear community. However, I was sceptical of Odyssey React Shield 2 because I had never heard a thing about them, which is pretty rare for Nike running shoes.

I had to include this somewhere in the review because of how rare it is for me as someone who loves eye-popping shoe colorways…my 62-year-old mom really liked how they looked! They have the same forefoot height of 18 mm, the same heel height of 28mm and thus also the same 10 mm drop.

Sprinting is where Odyssey React Shield 2 performed the most poorly because they are simply too heavy and not responsive enough to be good for anything at a tempo pace or faster, and don’t even think about using these for a track workout.Casual joggers looking for a shoe to soak up miles and perform well when taking it easy or feeling good and picking up the pace, going for a run on the treadmill, gym-goers looking to work in some running before/during/after the lifts, and even…dare I say…CrossFit.

Inspired by 90s sportswear, your new favorite pants feature tonal 3-Stripes detailing and an unexpected yet ultra-stylish double waistband. If you appreciate ample cushioning and a moderately responsive ride, instead of favoring an extreme amount of either foam or responsiveness, then this might well be a material that you’ll enjoy running on. Maybe it will get the acceptable temperature threshold down to around 0 degrees Celcius or cancel the wind getting into ankles.

I think it was a smart move from Nike to keep the React midsole the same since it’s so popular, but make a model that you can wear in wet weather conditions.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. 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.

The water-resistant and insulated Nike Shield upper kept my feet comfortable on that run, and it kept my feet dry the day prior when the the snow was coming down.

After putting on three long-sleeve layers up top — the third being a wind- and waterproof GoreTex jacket — a pair of winter running tights, a cotton beanie, wool socks, sunglasses, and some burly gloves, the final pieces of outerwear I needed were shoes.They are clearly proud of that at Nike because they even printed it on a label and put that on the heel counter.
