The Magpie bird is commonly seen in North America, Europe and Asia and Nike is paying tribute with two special releases of the React Element 55. One pairs sports a Green hue, while the other comes in a White tone. Both are detailed with an outline Swoosh on the sides, Red contrasting accents, and an iridescent heel clip. Following we have the magpie bird on the heel, ‘Today is the Day’ written across the insoles while a React cushioned midsole completes the look.
Check out the photos below, and expect these Nike React Element 55 “Magpie” styles to release on August 3rd at select retailers and Nike.com.
