Nike To Release Two Pink Colourways of the Epic React Flyknit on April 19

Nike’s brand new silhouette, the Epic React Flyknit, will be getting two new colourways in pink on April 19 – one for men and another for women.

The pairs will differ very slightly in appearance with both pairs taking on different shades of pink.

The shoes will be available in Singapore and Malaysia via Nike.com next Thursday from 9am.

Nike’s newest flagship running shoe will be receiving a host of new colourways this month and has become quite a popular model amongst the fitness elite for its comfort, durability and style.

Its design has been a huge plus point for the shoe as it functions as both a performance shoe as well as a lifestyle one. The shoe’s cushioning is also a highlight, featuring Nike’s new React midsole.

adidas Challenges Nike in a Legal Battle over the Flyknit Patent

adidas is taking on Nike once again in a legal battlefield over the Swoosh’s patent for its Flyknit technology.

Back in 2012, adidas first contested the Flyknit patent, arguing that the technology simply wasn’t unique, novel or inventive enough. The US Patent Trail and Appeal Board, however, sided with Nike.

This time, adidas is appealing to contest that decision in the Court of Appeals, hoping to overturn Nike’s patent once and for all.

According to the patent which Nike filed, it owns the invention of “a shoe upper that is knitted by a machine from a single piece of yarn, creating a tube-like structure that is then cut and attached to the sole of the shoe, as well as the methods of manufacturing that type of upper.”

adidas however believes that such invention is unpatentable due to its obviousness – anyone with a couple of years in footwear industry would have understood that you could potentially use knitting technology as a shoe upper before Nike filed the patent.

Nike has also bit back, legally fighting to prevent adidas from producing its own version of knitted uppers – the Primeknit. Nike claims that adidas had copied the invention but the injunction was set aside by a German court.

This latest appeal by adidas to overturn Nike’s Flyknit patent will be the company’s last chance to drop the Swoosh’s claim over knitting technology for sneaker uppers. Time will tell how this plays out.
