FAQs
Is the Nike React Element 87 Undercover water-resistant?
No, the materials used are not water-resistant. It is best to avoid wearing these in wet or muddy conditions.
How do I clean the translucent parts?
Gently wipe the translucent surfaces with a microfiber cloth slightly dampened with water and a mild, clear soap.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature high-performance React foam, they are designed primarily as lifestyle sneakers rather than technical running shoes.
Why is the footbed made of mesh instead of cork?
The mesh footbed is a design choice to prioritize breathability and comfort for daily, long-term wear compared to standard cork.
Does the sizing differ from other Nike models?
Generally, this model fits true to standard Nike sizing; however, always consult the size guide for your specific UK fit.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt between the translucent layers
Use compressed air or a fine-tipped soft brush to gently dislodge debris from the gaps.
Creasing on the upper material
Store with shoe trees to maintain the shape, but avoid over-stuffing which may stretch the translucent fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your pair remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes fit true to size. Ensure you verify your UK sizing before wear.
- Maintenance: Avoid submerging the sneakers in water. Use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. For stubborn stains on the leather or foam, utilize a gentle, specialized sneaker cleaning solution with a soft-bristled brush.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the translucent material from yellowing or becoming brittle.
- Sock Choice: Since the inner workings are visible, coordinate your socks with the neutral beige tones for a minimalist look or high-contrast patterns for a statement style.
