FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
While they utilize high-performance React cushioning, the Nike React Element 87 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer rather than a technical performance running shoe.
How should I clean the translucent upper?
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Do not submerge the shoes in water.
Do the shoes run true to size?
Yes, most users find the Nike React Element 87 fits true to size, though personal preference for sock thickness may influence your fit.
What colors are featured in the Red Orbit design?
The design utilizes a blend of Red Orbit, red, black, and grey, featuring blue suede lacing accents.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended, as the translucent upper is highly breathable and not waterproof; water can easily enter the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt inside the shoe
Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove debris from the fabric-like mesh of the translucent upper.
Suede overlays losing color or texture
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the blue suede overlays; keep them dry to prevent water staining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike React Element 87 trainers maintain their appearance, avoid machine washing. The translucent textile and suede components are sensitive to harsh detergents. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush or a cloth dampened with mild soap to spot clean the midsole and upper. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or adhesive degradation. When sizing, these trainers generally run true to size, but ensure you test the fit with the specific thickness of socks you intend to wear daily.
