Nike's conceptual sub-brand D/MS/X unveiled its React Vision sneaker silhouette recently and returns with the new Honeycomb colorway option. The sneaker is a perfect blend drawing components from the React Element 55 and the React Element 87 to deliver a functional lightweight lifestyle model.
The base is constructed from a white mesh material and the honeycomb colors are delivered by bright yellow and an earthy ran. These contrasting details are found throughout the uppers including the midfoot Swoosh and the eye stays. At the midsole area, there is the comfortable white React form for cushioning sensibilities. It also features traction patterns with geometric shapes. It sits on top of a soft footbed to deliver a sense of sturdiness delivered by gum rubber reinforcements around the heel and the toe box.
