Two of the best shoes of 2018 came out near the tail end of the year and were released courtesy of Nike. The Nike React Element 55 and React Element 87 were designed with Nike's new React technology in mind. For those who don't know, React is a special kind of midsole that features material that rivals Adidas Boost. While the 55 and 87 had the exact same silhouette, the one key difference was the upper. While the 87 has a translucent upper, the 55 uses a solid one. Both look fantastic but the 87's upper has made it the more popular of the two.

Over the past few months, Nike has been releasing new colorways of both models and now, we have a look at a brand new model of the Element 55. This time, the shoe comes dressed in a tie-dye upper that features a bevy of colors such as purple, yellow, and pink. Contrasting with the colorful upper is a black tongue, black laces, and an all-black midsole. So far, this colorway has been one of the more unique versions we've seen.
