React Ianga

A dramatically new React silhouette, the Ianga’s 10th Collection salutes Nike’s founding father Bill Bowerman. Serving as a major in the Army’s 10th Mountain Division during World War II, Bowerman and his men scaled snowy mountains in Italy fighting for the Allied cause. A small tab on the upper is embroidered with “The 10th,” immortalizing Bowerman’s heroics.

Inspired by Bowerman’s story, the Ianga is designed with the sock-like elements of both a military jungle boot and a street runner. The wheat and phantom colorway, leather toe boxes and waxed laces introduce the Ianga as a unique, military-inspired expression of the React family.
