    yeah and pricey enough at the moment at £130 sterling.
    maybe there will be some sales/deals in a few months.

    Although if what Nike are claiming re durability of the foam could work out a good deal even at that price when you consider a lot of cushioning on running shoes goes dead after 250 miles or so, so you're getting 2 shoes for the price of one.
    the review link that I posted above also says that it works well at different speeds of running so that's a big plus as you could potentially use the shoe for training and races (well longer ones anyways).

    Here's some Nike blurb about cushion durability.

    https://www.nike.com/gb/en_gb/c/innovation/react?ref=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.ie%252F
    We gave our testers React shoes that had
    been worn for at least 500 miles, and sent
    them on a run. When they returned, we
    asked them how many miles they thought
    the shoes had on them. The highest answer
    was 100. The lowest was “brand-new.”
    And the average was around 15 miles.
    That’s what we call durable.
