Checkered Patterns Switch Up Nike's React Element 55

We are officially championing the React Element 55 as "Most Likely to Succeed"; this year.

Arriving as a follow up to the React Element 87, Nike's sleek sneaker has already been released in a series of colourways since its debut in October, ranging from black and white classics, to pastel brights.

The Swoosh brand's latest concept however takes a step back from monochrome hues to utilise patterns and contrasting textures, tapping into this season's preoccupation with prints.

A black checkerboard design adds a jazzy look across the upper, combined with mesh diamonds for an eye-catching twist.

Adding contrast, pops of neon Volt and Crimson hit the Swoosh, heel tape, and plugs within the shoe's full-length React cushioned midsole.

This switched up silhouette combines everything that we love about the React Element 55, providing a stand out aesthetic teamed with a series of striking features.

An official release date hasn't been announced for this pair yet, so make sure to stay tuned for more updates from Nike.
