FAQs

Is the Nike React Element 87 waterproof?

No, the shoes are not waterproof. The synthetic upper material is breathable, which allows moisture to penetrate easily.

Does the translucent upper stretch over time?

The material is engineered to hold its shape, but it may offer a slight break-in period where it conforms better to your foot.

Are these shoes true to size?

Most users find them to be true to size, though the minimal structure may lead some to prefer a slightly snugger fit.

How do I show off my socks with this shoe?

Because the upper is translucent, choose crew-cut socks with patterns or bright colors for high visibility, or white socks for a cleaner, muted look.

Can I use these for running?

While they feature comfortable React foam, they are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers rather than dedicated performance running shoes.

Troubleshooting

Translucent material looks dirty

Use a microfiber cloth dampened with lukewarm water and a tiny amount of mild dish soap to gently wipe the exterior.

Laces feel loose or slip

The suede overlays provide friction, but if slippage occurs, try a double-knot or ensure the laces are threaded flat through the eyelets.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • Translucent upper shows socks clearly
  • Limited water resistance due to materials
  • Requires frequent cleaning to maintain aesthetic
  • Sizing can feel different due to synthetic upper

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, proper maintenance is key. Since the upper is constructed from specialized nylon-based translucent materials, avoid harsh chemical cleaners which could cloud the surface.

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the translucent upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Lacing: Adjust the suede lacing system gently; do not overtighten, as this may stress the translucent panels near the eyelets.
  3. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause yellowing or brittleness in translucent synthetic materials over time.
  4. Socks: Select your socks intentionally, as the visibility of the internal structure is a core design element of the React Element 87 series.
