I liked the ride and I didn’t experience any hotspots with the upper, but on longer distances, the lack of stability and the narrowness of the shoe were an issue. It’s a soft yet stable cushioning platform that has enough spring for a 5K, and it can also hold up during long runs,” one tester said.

Of the many test pairs sitting in my closet, I chose the Nike Odyssey Shield React for that four-mile battle against icy sidewalks and a sub-zero windchill.

I run about 50-60 miles per week, usually including a tempo run and a long run, and lift weights 4-5 times per week in addition to running. 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. One of our wear testers had similarly positive experiences with the upper material by putting it through a range of tests that it aced, which serves as greater proof of its performance in bad weather. I know some may read this and think it’s a negative, but don’t worry, plenty of other younger folks complimented me on them as well. Second is its Shield upper: a water resistant, semi-insulated material that gives you a snug fit and keeps your feet warm, even on runs along snowy and slushy streets.

Because if you Google the term, it mainly just shows you all the shoes in the Nike Shield line, but it doesn’t really give you any other products with this rating.They allow your natural motion to flow, while still offering a snug fit and a cushioned feel underfoot. These are benefits that you’ll receive on top of the perks you get already with each of your Pro:Direct Sport and Nike memberships. The upper of the Nike Odyssey React is built with a lightweight, breathable fabric instead of the premium Flyknit featured on the Nike Epic React. Of course, being the sort of person who tries to run outdoors at all costs, I had no intention of getting on the treadmill and instead opted to bring out my hardest-core winter gear.

Blue Ribbon Sports, as they were originally known, began as an importer, offering Onitsuka Tiger running shoes to American athletes in the 1960s. 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. 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. Down to about 5 degrees Celcius they're very good, but below that threshold you're gonna be cold, starting from the ankles, as their silhouette is low.

As the foam resists compression and keeps its shape, you get that exciting out-of-the-box experience with every run. 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.
