Nike's new running shoe could prevent the chance of injury by 52 per cent, helping solve the problem that most often takes runners out of the game.
The React Infinity Run was created by Nike Running as part of a seemingly impossible "moonshot" project to ensure that no runner gets injured.
"One of the biggest problems to solve, one of the biggest things that takes running away from runners is injury, and so we want to be able to try and help solve that," vice president of Nike Running Footwear Brett Holts told Dezeen.
"It's become a pretty complex problem to solve as we're digging into it."

Running injuries are commonly linked to style, with many blamed on over pronation ? meaning that the foot tilts inward on landing. However, the exact cause of injuries are typically difficult to trace, so the team had to come up with a broad solution. Working with Nike's Sport Research Lab, Holts' team developed a more supportive shoe from the React family. First launched in 2018, React shoes are made from an engineered foam known for being lightweight and springing quickly back into shape, making it an effective running shoe.
"Performance-wise it really is our most complete foam in terms of cushioning properties, but also at the same time very responsive," said Holts.
"It's hard to build both cushioning and responsiveness into the same foam, so it does a great job at that," he added. "It minimises any compromise."
