FAQs
Is the Nike React Element 87 suitable for running?
While it features performance-grade React foam, this model is designed primarily as a lifestyle sneaker for daily wear.
How do I choose the right socks for this shoe?
Because of the translucent upper, your choice of socks will show. Many users opt for neutral colors or intentional patterns to complement the Desert Sand tones.
Does the material stretch over time?
The upper is designed to be lightweight and may offer a slight amount of give, but it is not a knit-based shoe and will generally maintain its shape.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash this model, as the heat and agitation can damage the translucent materials and adhesive bonds.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The shoe features a combination of synthetic textiles and faux leather overlays to provide both durability and breathability.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt inside the translucent upper
Remove the insole to shake out debris and use compressed air to clear tight corners.
Creasing on the synthetic upper
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike React Element 87 stays in top condition, follow these care guidelines. Due to the translucent nature of the upper, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap for surface cleaning; avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may cloud or discolor the synthetic material. For the midsole, a soft-bristled brush can help dislodge debris from the textured foam. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing or material degradation. Regarding sizing, this model generally runs true to size, but those who prefer a looser fit or intend to wear thick socks may want to consider a half-size increase.
