Changes in the Element version

We can say that the Element 87 are the big sisters of the Nike React Element 55, and some changes are visible. Among them the translucent upper of the 87 becomes an opaque upper made of mesh, and although it does not seem to be very breathable, it presents a very smooth, soft and elastic aesthetic, which will delight all sneakerheads with a great fit similar to that of a sock. A change that many users who bought the Element 87 were clamoring for, since the translucent effect of the 87 made the socks noticeable in a very coarse way. Another detail to take into account is the change of the laces, in this model they are now round.

Still the model remains true to the hallmark of the Element line, the React foam with a drilled effect that has been designed by the Nike Sportswear team with director Darryl Matthews at the helm. The details that remain unchanged in the model are the band and stabilizer in the heel area and the corrugated reinforcement panel for the eyelets.
