One of the many things that will likely keep Nike ahead of the sneaker industry curve for the foreseeable future is its ability to always be on the front lines when it comes to creating and implementing new cushioning systems. The introduction of the disruptive Air Max unit changed the world of sneakers forever, then there was Vapormax, and now, we are in the era of React. First introduced by the Epic React, then globally sensationalized by the React Elements 87, this plug-equipped bit of foam has proverbially taken the sneaker world by storm. With plenty more to come from the Swoosh, one of its new React-ridden silhouettes features the upper of the time-tested Presto line. Given a fitting Tee-Shirt For Your Feet monicker, the Presto was already one of the most comfortable shoes on the market, and the addition of this new proprietary foam will only add to that notion. Looks wise, the new Presto React opts to add a cage of sorts in to the fold to aid in its lockdown, while it sports an overall sleek aesthetic that falls right in line with the rest of the brands React design language. Units are currently on pace to arrive in 2019, but grab a closer look at two upcoming colorways you can expect below in the meantime.
