With supportive cushioning built for a smooth run, the Nike InfinityRN 4 is a brand-new take on a familiar favorite. It's made from our all-new Nike ReactX foam, which gives you 13% more energy return compared with Nike React foam, to help you stay fresh and bouncy. (What's more? Nike ReactX reduces its carbon footprint in a pair of midsoles by at least 43% compared to Nike React foam. *) This version has GORE-TEX fabric to help you stay dry for your miles.
