FAQs

Are the Nike React Element 87s unisex?

Yes, these trainers are designed as a unisex model.

What kind of socks should I wear?

Since the upper is translucent, choose socks that you want to be visible, as they will define part of the shoe's visual aesthetic.

Are these good for running?

While they feature React cushioning, they are primarily lifestyle trainers intended for casual use rather than performance running.

How do I clean the translucent upper?

Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents that could cloud the material.

Do they run true to size?

Most users find they fit true to size, but those who prefer a roomier feel may consider trying them on as the material has a unique, snug structure.

Troubleshooting

Translucent material appears foggy

Wipe the interior and exterior of the material with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust buildup.

Midsole foam shows dirt markings

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft-bristled brush to gently remove stains from the foam texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Nike React Element 87s maintain their appearance, keep them away from harsh scrubbing tools that could damage the delicate translucent material. For cleaning, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water to gently wipe down the upper and midsole. Avoid direct, intense sunlight for long periods to prevent potential material yellowing. When pairing, consider that the neutral Desert Sand tone works exceptionally well with denim, chinos, and earth-toned loungewear.
