A bit undecided on this shoe
I've gone through two pairs of the epic reacts, taking both to ~400 miles.
Pros:
They are light!
Cons:
I don't really feel much cushioning from the "react" foam. I also didn't feel like they were particularly "fast" shoes and only used them for training runs.
Also, the flyknit upper makes your foot really cold if it rains (but also cools in hot temps.)
Overall, I think these are good shoes but I doubt I'll go back to them in the future.

So Many Positives...So Few Negatives
This shoe is comfortable, cushioned, breathable, and looks oh so sleek. The energy return these shoes give back is great and makes you feel so light on your feet. The only issue with these shoes is an incredibly minuscule issue of a clicking noise that comes from wear. There’s a plastic piece in the forefoot, which Nike has acknowledged to be an issue (likely resolved entirely by the Epic React Flyknit 2). That aside, it will not fail you in any capacity!
Sizing is true to size, but slightly tight when you get the shoes. DON’T PANIC! The flyknit material will stretch out after just a couple runs.

Nike Epic Reacts 'running meets comfort'
Have worn these shoes for around a year now and they still have such comfort, so much spring in each step. really tested these beasts, from 10k tempos to short 3ks, they seem to hold really nicely! If your after a bouncy response from a shoe, this is the one to go for! Highly recommend for a lightweight yet responsive tempo runner to long runs ???

These Shoes Are Great for Long Runs and for everyday wear! Feels like your running on a cloud! Not as good for Sprints, though. I definitely recommend these.

Very happy with the Nike Epic React! No complains at all, feels amazing on feet, soft but responsive and works well while running faster as well. Looks great and seams to be holding up well!
