One week ago, Nike revealed a Paris Saint-Germain edition of the React Flyknit shoe, Now the Swoosh showcased two FC Barcelona-themed paint jobs for the Epic React Flyknit 2 running shoes.
Sergi Roberto helped to launch the boot. When speaking about the shoe he said: “I do enjoy running. I run a bit more than my team-mates because I know I need my legs to be active because during the game, I’m going to have to run that extra mile to help the team win. The Nike React is a performance shoe, but they also have a lot of style. These are shoes I could easily use every day.”
