I’m looking to add another shoe to rotate with the ZoomX Invincible as I build mileage over the spring. I noticed Nike brought back the Epic React 2 and am leaning toward them as they’re lighter since the Invincible are a 10oz shoe. Are the Epic React 2 a decent mileage shoe or would I be better off with the Peg 37?
For reference I forefoot strike and have a supinator gait. I’m currently running about 35 mpw but hope to slowly build that to 60+ mpw.
Interesting. I never tried the Epic React 2's. They seem like a good shoe. Are they a good daily trainer?

Peg 37 is great for higher milelage, i run 40mpw and my foot strike is neutral so I'm not sure how great it'd be for you.
I like both, the epic react 2 feels a little smoother and quicker to me. One is a booty fit that I don't even unlace to put on the other feels traditional and a bit more secure. In the summer the Pegasus upper traps sweat so you can hear your feet squishing. Get's the people going.

also, the epic react 2 has been out for a long time and looks discontinued. I got them at Marshall's for $40
I have both and I honestly like my Reacts better than the 37s, though if you're planning on going on less than ideal paths (ie dirt trails or anywhere even the slightest bit slippery) the 37s are way better.

This. If you mostly run in nice conditions on the road then reacts are way better. They are terrible in slippery conditions due to not having any rubber on the bottoms though, and they seem like they would be pretty easy to roll your ankle in if taken on trails too imo (mind you the pegasus wouldn't be my choice for ice or trails either).
Epic React Flyknit 2? I would have bought 10 pairs at $40.
Hi,
I have the peg 37 and Nike epic react (1). I just got the Reebok Energy 3, for a daily trainer I found it a better all round daily trainer. More comfortable upper, smoother transitions, responsive, versatile and cheap.
