Ross Dwyer After a brief hiatus, Nike’s React Element 87 is back in a brand-new “Dusty Peach” colorway, just in time for the impending sunrays of spring. Boasting a bold combination of compelling colors and futuristic materials, the signature TPE upper features a translucent forefoot, but opts for an opaque style on the rear half via the aforementioned “Dusty Peach” tone, an earthy reddish-orange that artfully toes the line between luxurious and sporty. Accents are mainly provided by dark royal blue overlays on the throat and heel, while small pops of forest green and vibrant purple are also interspersed, adding more styles to the colorful collage. A signature cork insole then provides a welcome — albeit hidden — touch of premium flair. The React midsole is done up in a stark white, but also adds a touch of traditional style thanks to the classicly-colored gum plugs that lock the look in. One of the most popular shoes of 2018 thanks to clean in-line releases and collaborations with the likes of UNDERCOVER, the 87 is looking to continue its success in 2019, and alluring releases like this will certainly aid in that mission. If you’re looking to secure a pair, they’ll release May 2nd at retailers like SVD for $160 USD.
