Coming Soon: Nike React Type GORE-TEX
Nike's prototype-style N.354 releases are getting another 'Type' release to go along with the division's Drop Type LX and experimental takes on the AF-1 and Huarache.
Simply dubbed the React Type GORE-TEX, the design definitely makes its case for best N.354 drop yet and – as the name suggests – employs the Swoosh's React cushioning along with GORE-TEX waterproofing. The low-top upper itself is marked by breathable mesh and seamless synthetic overlays, nylon lacing loops, and military-inspired heel pull tabs. Think of this as a conceptual compadre to other React favourites like the ,React Element 55 and 87.
Stay tuned for drop info, but expect a debut at Nike Sportswear dealers very soon.
