FAQs

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the Nike React Element 87 Undercover is designed as a unisex silhouette, suitable for all adults.

What is special about the footbed?

This model features a breathable mesh footbed instead of the standard cork, offering better comfort and moisture management.

Does the translucent upper stretch over time?

The upper is designed to maintain its shape, but it is recommended to ensure you select the correct size to avoid unnecessary tension on the material.

Can I wear these for running?

While they feature React cushioning, they are primarily lifestyle trainers designed for casual, urban use rather than professional running.

How should I clean the exterior?

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that may cloud or damage the translucent material.

What kind of socks should I wear?

Because the upper is translucent, your choice of socks will be visible. Many owners prefer solid colors or patterns that complement the beige and grey colorway.

Troubleshooting

Visible wear or stains through the translucent upper

Use a specialized microfiber cloth dampened with water to gently wipe the interior and exterior of the translucent panels.

Mesh footbed feels damp after heavy use

Remove the mesh insoles and allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area before your next wear.

Creasing on the upper material

Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the structure of the trainer and reduce deep creases in the fabric.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive, fashion-forward aesthetic
  • Breathable mesh footbed for improved hygiene
  • Versatile unisex design
  • Collaborative design with high collector appeal

Cons

  • Translucent upper requires careful sock coordination

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers maintain their look, avoid machine washing or heavy scrubbing, as this can damage the translucent paneling. Instead, use a damp cloth and mild soap to spot-clean the exterior surfaces. For the mesh footbed, remove it periodically to air out and prevent odor buildup. Ensure the shoes are stored in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the lighter beige materials.
