One of the sneaker industry’s most popular new shoes, the React Element 87, is making a strong case for winning the sneaker of the year. While each pair of 87s has flown off the shelves immediately after their releases, the more budget-conscious React Element 55 gives consumers a much better chance at securing a pair without paying resale while still boasting a nearly identical aesthetic. Next up for the Element 55 is the most Fall-friendly iteration yet that actually bears a striking resemblance to an SB Dunk from the Swoosh’s storied past, The “Paul Brown” SB Dunk High from 2002. Done up primarily in a brown hue that is reminiscent of a fallen leaf, its large midfoot Swoosh sports a crisp blue tone that matches the silhouette’s signature midfoot plugs that take shape as part of its REACT sole unit. A deep grey color completes this Autumn-ready variety that is slated to arrive at Swoosh Brand retailers in October, just in time for the start of the seasonal change.
