FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature advanced React foam cushioning, they are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual walking, not for high-intensity athletic running.
Do I need to wear specific socks with these?
Because the upper is translucent, your socks will be visible. Choose colors that complement the desert sand and mauve tones for the best aesthetic.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
No, the leather and synthetic materials are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding wear in heavy rain to prevent damage.
How should I store them to prevent yellowing?
Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which is the primary cause of yellowing on synthetic materials.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are designed for the specific contour of the React Element line; replacing them may alter the fit and comfort profile of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Visible debris inside the translucent upper
Use a small air duster or turn the shoe upside down and gently tap the sole to dislodge particles.
Leather overlays developing creases
Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the leather structure and minimize deep creasing.
Difficulty cleaning the translucent material
Use a mild soap solution on a soft cloth, but test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure no color transfer occurs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike React Element 87s remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These trainers fit true to size. If you prefer a wider fit, consider checking the specific width measurements for your UK size.
- Cleaning: Avoid submerging the shoes in water. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from the leather overlays. For the translucent synthetic panels, a gentle wipe with a damp, non-abrasive cloth is recommended.
- Storage: Store away from direct sunlight to prevent the translucent material from yellowing or the leather from drying out. Use cedar shoe trees to maintain the structural shape.
- Care: Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they may damage the synthetic upper or the finish of the Smokey Mauve accents.
