FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Nike React Element 87 generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to go up by half a size for extra room.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the materials are durable, the translucent design and mesh components are not fully waterproof, so it is best to avoid heavy rain.
What kind of socks should I wear with them?
Because of the translucent upper, your socks will be visible. Crew socks with patterns or vibrant colors are commonly used to add personality to the look.
How do I clean the React foam sole?
Use a soft brush with warm water and a small amount of mild detergent to gently scrub the white foam areas until clean.
Is this a unisex shoe?
While the sizing is generally listed in adult male or unisex formats, the design is considered unisex and can be worn by anyone who fits the provided size conversion.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt inside the shoe
Remove the insole if possible and gently shake out debris, or use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the interior mesh.
Creasing on the upper material
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the structure of the translucent panels.
Discoloration of the translucent upper
Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or sunlight; use a specialized clear-material cleaner if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your React Element 87s, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can potentially cause discoloration of the translucent materials over time. Cleaning should be done manually with a soft-bristled brush and mild soap to avoid damaging the delicate mesh and translucent panels. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners. When pairing these with clothing, the beige tone is neutral enough to complement both technical apparel and casual streetwear, though it is recommended to wear high-quality or patterned socks to complement the semi-transparent design.
