The Nike React Element 55 has seen all sorts of retoolings since its inception, further removing itself from its more popular predecessor with interesting usages of patterns and materials almost impossible to find on translucent uppers. Riding off the momentum of Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming take while dialing down the digital themes of size?’s run, the newest women’s pair takes a trip back to grid graphics, subtly imprinting them along the main textile through slightly sheer line work. Swooshes laid out atop as well as the signature taping at the heel stay a matte black with purple contrast stitching matching the vibrant pastels of the laces as well as the outsole, though the latter mixes it in with a retro watercolor of blue and white in addition. Iridescent panelling outfits the eyestays for further visual dimension with cool tones seeing to the heel supports, pull tab, and basic branding.
