Sneaker News Nike’s first project endeavor with Kendrick Lamar focused on the Cortez with four heartfelt iterations of the immortal relic of Compton fashion. Swiftly transitioning from the throwback era to a modern one, the next collaboration now shifts to the Nike React Element 55; while it may seem like a far cry from the simpler retro runner, the React Element 55 has its similarities to the Cortez due to their shared affordability and comfort. Perhaps that’s why the pairing between K-Dot and the 55 seems to work the more you look at it.
The upper is easily recognizable for its marble surface, with inverted colors providing a stark contrast via a longitudinal seam covered by an exterior ribbon. The over-sized Swoosh logo remains, but via a transparent overlay that is rather difficult to zero in on against the white marble. There is, however, a miniature Swoosh in black placed at the fore-foot. The structural integrity of the midsole remains, but some visual toppings via a speckle print and the black marble detailing appears on the traction rivets. Whether it be symbolism or an outright text layout, there exists no specific call-out to Kendrick Lamar, although the design concept surely has a connection to the award-winning musician.
The Kendrick Lamar x Nike React Element 55 is scheduled for a release on November 5th, 2019 with an MSRP of $150. The store list below will be regularly updated, so check back often to see if your local shop will be stocking these on 11/5.
