After the React Element 55 surfaced in “Midnight Navy,” the sleek Nike runner meets 2019 with a new, branding-heavy makeover. Sporting a grey suede and leather upper with a bright blue Swoosh, the trim runner differs from past iterations with a stripe of Nike branding that appears on both sides of the heel. Executed in red, the stripe matches the tongue and eyelets, while a white midsole and laces offer neutral counterparts to the more colorful accents.

No word yet on when this variation on the React Element 55 drops, but expect it to launch sooner rather than later.

Most recently, the 55’s cousin, the React Element 87, appeared in “Light Orewood.”
