FAQs

Are the Nike React Element 87 sneakers true to size?

Most users find they fit true to size, though if you prefer a roomier fit, some opt for a half-size up.

Can I wear these for long-distance running?

While they use high-performance React foam, these are designed as lifestyle sneakers rather than technical running shoes.

How do I prevent the translucent material from yellowing?

Keep the shoes out of direct heat and sunlight, and wipe away dirt or moisture immediately after wear.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, many variants of the React Element 87 are designed with a gender-neutral aesthetic suitable for anyone.

What is the best way to store these shoes?

Store them in a cool, dry place inside the original box or a breathable shoe bag, away from sources of heat.

Troubleshooting

Upper material appears cloudy or dirty

Gently wipe the exterior with a microfiber cloth dipped in a mixture of water and a tiny amount of mild detergent.

Visible wear on the outsole plugs

The outsole features rubber pods in high-wear areas; minor scuffing is normal, but avoid using the shoes on extremely abrasive surfaces like gravel to extend their lifespan.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Innovative React cushioning for all-day comfort
  • Distinctive, fashion-forward translucent design
  • Extremely lightweight and breathable
  • Excellent energy return with every step

Cons

  • Translucent material shows the color of socks underneath

  • Requires careful cleaning due to specialized upper materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Nike React Element 87s maintain their look and feel, follow these guidelines:

  1. Socks: Experiment with different sock colors and patterns to take advantage of the translucent upper. Dark socks provide a muted, monochromatic look, while bright socks offer a high-contrast style.
  2. Break-in: The foam is soft out of the box, but wearing them for short periods initially allows the materials to mold comfortably to your foot shape.
  3. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water for the midsole. For the translucent upper, use a gentle cloth to avoid scratches or yellowing of the synthetic material.
  4. Storage: Keep away from direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent the translucent upper and foam from discoloring.
