Nike React has been causing a commotion in the sneaker scene. After finally dropping in its first four colorways this Summer, we now have a good look at the next silhouette in the Element family, coming soon.


Nike’s React Element series has barely made its debut and is still making waves in the global sneaker scene. Originally debuted last year in an Undercover fashion show, the Element 87 was a wild departure from our expectations for Nike React. The new silhouette gave a clean and unusually sporty look to a lifestyle shoe, as well as wild new technologies like React foam and a translucent upper. While the model is still in its initial rollout, a new takedown model of the silhouette has appeared online and is ready to drop later this year.

The Nike React Element 55 is almost the same shoe as the 87. In fact, both silhouettes rest on top of identical React midsoles, right down to the positioning of their TPU support systems embedded underfoot. Even the upper is constructed in exactly the same way, although with significantly less expensive materials. While the official specs are not currently available, the upper on the React Element 55 appears to be made from a durable synthetic material, likely some sort of nylon or flexible mesh. The paneling has been cut in the same shapes as the 87 and stitched together the same. The element 55 will launch in two colorways initially, one triple black iteration with red hits, and a black & white pair with neon green detailing.
