Monochromatic Thick-Soled Shoes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Nike's New React Element 55 Sneakers Have Replaced Uppers

— November 13, 2018 — Fashion
Nike's signature React Element 55 sneakers received a makeover that replaces the classic translucent uppers with an opaque monochromatic finish. The new iteration is complete with an upper made from black vegan leather materials accompanied by lace trimmings constructed from suede and nubuck. This dark hue is contrasted with a large white branding Swoosh over the lateral area. The heel section received some reflective details in the form of a metallic silver stripe and a mudguard of a slightly transparent gray hue as a nod to the original.

This monochromatic iteration is rounded out with a white midsole foundation and the label's signature "React Element outsole plus" in a light gray hue. The sneakers are soon to be available for purchase online at Nike.
