Nike just released a new colorway of the Epic React Flyknit 2, and it's a scheme that we've seen a million times before: red, white, and blue.
But rather than looking old and stale, we can't help but want to immediately buy a shoe in the classic combo. But what if you already own a pair of "Forrest Gump" Cortez with University Red swooshes and Racer Blue detailing?
Or even something like an adidas Iniki Runner in the same paintjob?

How many red, white, and blue sneakers does one man need? There's probably no true answer, but you can look at shoe shopping in two opposing ways: buy different colorways and avoid doubling up or acknowledge your favorite look and buy it again and again. For sure, people who think like the latter are going to have a hard time resisting this one because the Epic React has a great looking silhouette to begin with.
