We’re exactly one week out from the NA release of the NER 87’ so I decided to create a thread dedicated solely to the new model that some have already dubbed the shoe of 2018, it deserves it.
From Nike: Many classic Nike shoes were born from a simple desire: to make running and walking more comfortable. The Nike Element React 87 is one such shoe that also owes its geometric design to data drawn from everyday athletes.
Work on the shoe began by pressure map testing individuals who walk heavily throughout the day. These maps show the points where feet experience the most fatigue from commuting, running errands, and otherwise. Designers then drilled holes into these spots on running shoe soles and repeated the process with Nike react foam for added comfort.
-Designed by Darryl Matthews
-Pressure maps also influenced the design by being applied to the outsole with rubber pods.
-Nike internationalist and last years Nike Zoom Fly SP translucent upper are inspiration for the design.
-Also includes suede accents, Nike react logo and rubber outsole pods.
Release Date: June 21st (Europe-Asia)
July 13th (NA)
