Nike’s React technology has taken the world of sneakers by storm in 2018. The futuristic foam cushioning was first used on high-performance running shoes, then was brought into the lifestyle market with releases like the React Element 55 and React Element 87. The Element 55 has since found favor among the general sneaker-loving populace for its striking look, reasonable price point, and easy accessibility — and now it’s surfaced in a new bright red makeup. The upper is dressed in a bold crimson, while the tongue and throat call upon a slightly lighter red for a fiery tonal contrast. Further accents then arrive via the large silver midfoot swoosh and black heel taping/branded React heel piece. The look is then completed by a crisp white React midsole with red plugs. Enjoy a full set of official images below, and look for these new Element 55s to release on Nike.com in the coming weeks for $130 USD.
