Product Information
Full details
The Nike React Element 87 is designed for adults seeking a blend of high-performance cushioning and modern, deconstructed aesthetic. Its primary benefit is the signature React-cushioned midsole, which provides exceptional spring and comfort for daily wear. One caveat to keep in mind is the translucent upper, which requires careful selection of socks as they will be visible through the material.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature advanced cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers rather than performance running shoes.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The materials are durable, but the translucent upper can allow moisture to penetrate easily. It is best to avoid heavy rain to prevent internal dampness.
How do I ensure the right fit?
These follow standard UK adult sizing; if you prefer a looser fit for thicker socks, consider half a size up.
Does the upper turn yellow?
Like many transparent synthetic materials, prolonged UV exposure can lead to slight discolouration over years of use.
Is the leather genuine?
Yes, the product incorporates high-quality leather sections in the construction to enhance durability and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or debris inside the shoe
Use a blast of compressed air to dislodge trapped particles beneath the tongue or in the crevices of the translucent upper.
Leather material appears scuffed
Use a professional-grade leather conditioner and a matching colour cream polish to buff out minor surface abrasions.
Foam midsole losing bounce
Ensure the shoes are properly dried after exposure to moisture and allow the foam to decompress for 24 hours between heavy usage days.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the upper is translucent, it is important to store the shoes away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent the synthetic materials from yellowing over time. To clean the leather portions, use a soft, dry cloth and leather-safe cleaner. For the translucent sections, a mild soap solution and a soft-bristled brush are recommended to gently remove surface debris. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can compromise the integrity of the adhesive and the clarity of the upper panels.
