Nike React Element 87 Release Date

Everyone lost it when they first saw the Undercover Nike React Element 87. With a slim profile and deconstructed aesthetic, the React Element 87 was a bit reminiscent of the transparent nature of the Zoom Fly SP. But with Jun Takahashi’s guidance we received some excellent color ways of this sneaker. While the original word was that Nike was going to release  five color ways of the sneakers, it appears now that Nike has pivoted away from that and are now releasing 2 of the pairs as a general release. The silhouette will release on its own in this sail/red version as well as a simple black/white iteration. Instagram user gc911 has posted a series of detailed shots of anticipated release.

Click through for more information and images of  the release. Select Nike retailers will be releasing this sneaker on June 14 for $170USD.
