FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Nike React Element 87 generally fits true to size for most wearers, though the snug fit of the upper may feel different than traditional mesh runners.

Can I wash these in a machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede overlays, adhesive bonds, and the translucent material.

How do I choose the right socks for these?

Since the upper is translucent, choose socks that complement or contrast with the Red Orbit color scheme for a custom look.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a lightweight, translucent TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) material.

Do these provide arch support?

The React foam midsole provides excellent general underfoot cushioning and moderate support suitable for casual, everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust or debris trapped inside the upper

Use a blast of compressed air to dislodge particles from the inside of the translucent material.

Suede overlays appearing matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material after the shoe has dried completely from any light cleaning.

Creasing on the translucent upper

Insert shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shoe's shape and reduce permanent creasing in the synthetic material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Striking, modern aesthetic with high-visibility color blocking
  • Lightweight construction suitable for extended wear
  • React foam provides excellent impact absorption
  • Unique translucent design allows for personalized style expression

Cons

  • Translucent upper requires clean socks as they are visible through the material
  • Material may be susceptible to yellowing or dust accumulation inside the shoe
  • Requires careful cleaning to avoid damaging the specialized overlays

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your React Element 87s remain in top condition, focus on proper storage and maintenance. Always store the sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the translucent materials and dyes to fade or yellow. When cleaning, avoid harsh chemical solvents; instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry debris from the outsole and a damp microfiber cloth with mild soap for the suede overlays and synthetic upper. Because the upper is thin, avoid using abrasive scrubbing methods. For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate thickness of hosiery, as the shoe's structure is somewhat slim.
