Arguably one of the best new silhouettes and models that came out in 2018 was Nike's Element React 87. It was a shoe that used Nike's brand new "react" technology which has proven to be a worthy adversary of Adidas Boost. In addition, the shoe has a translucent upper and a design that lends well to extravagant colorways. Heading into 2019, Nike is taking advantage of that by adding two new colorful colorways to the Element React 87's library.

The first of these colorways is the Volt/Racer Pink/Black/Aurora version. Based on images from @py_rates on Twitter, this particular colorway has yellow on the toe of the upper that extends near the back. Halfway through the black Nike swoosh, the yellow is swapped out for red. There are hints of aurora blue on the tongue of the shoe, a color that also appears throughout the all-black midsole.

Next on the list is the Light Orewood colorway in Brown/Volt Glow/Cool Grey/Laser Orange. In this model, the majority of the upper is in a light brownish color, with an orange Nike swoosh and volt green accents throughout the shoe, including the all-white midsole.

Both colorways look like interesting additions to the popular Element React 87 series. No word yet on an exact release date but expect these at the top of next year. Would you cop these?
