In 2018, Nike unveiled its "react" technology to the world in an attempt to give consumers a midsole that can compete with the immensely popular Adidas Boost. One of the silhouettes that took the sneaker world by storm, was the Nike React Element 87 which featured a react midsole and a translucent upper. The Beaverton brand also released the Nike React Element 55 which is essentially the exact same sneaker, but with a solid upper.

Multiple colorways of the React Element 55 have already made it to the market, but thanks to US11, we now have a look at a brand new colorway that features some flashy metallic gold accents.

The sneaker has a grey upper that goes from the toebox and wraps all the way around the heel, while a black Nike swoosh dresses the shoe. Where the laces are, you see a black tongue, with metallic gold accents all along the side of it, adding a pop of flashiness to the kicks. Meanwhile, the midsole of the shoe is all white, with grey accents that fit with the overall aesthetic of the sneaker.

According to Sole Collector, there is no official release date for these, but they should be hitting the market soon and at a price of $130 USD.
