Nike's notable React Element 87 sneakers were one of the highlighting footwear silhouettes of 2018 and the latest iteration of the translucent sneakers arrive in a 'Royal Tint' colorway option. The newest version is complete in a vibrant hue that fuses a blend of blue, green, and pink to evoke an iridescent finish.
The sneaker model prepares for the warmer seasons to come with a blend of suede, synthetic, and leather materials throughout the uppers and accenting details. Additional details include the exposed stitching accents over the heel and branding incorporation in the form of the Swoosh on the sides of the shoe. It sits atop a React foam midsole foundation and is finished with a cork insole.
