Who would have thought removing parts of the sole from a shoe could create a new, innovative sneaker? The Nike React Element 87 concept is in fact based on achieving a sophisticated result through rudimentary processes.

The sole is designed for all those people wearing sneakers 24/7: the holes on the foam were created based on where the most of the pressure is applied while walking or sitting to maximize comfort; the wide and comfortable plant contrasts with the narrow and stiffer one of the Epic React to witness the difference in use of the two models. The innovation of the shoe lies in the deep search for an ideal comfort achieved through the use of best technologies in order to guarantee a perfect result. The breathable 100% TPE yarn textile upper provides softness and comfort without sacrificing aesthetics and following the current trend of upper transparency.

Through the new technologies and a design partly inherited from the past (inspired by the Nike Internationalist), the React Element 87 perfectly embodies the mission of Nike saying “the problem a product needs to solve will always creates its form”.

The Nike React Element 87 will be available online starting Wednesday, June 20 in black and light bone colorways.
