This past week, Nike released the first two colorways of the Nike React Presto, one of them being the "Rabid Panda" model. This version of the shoe has a blue upper with a heavy dose of red and white highlights. The shoe is pretty clean and now, the Beaverton brand is transplanting the colorway onto one of their other React models, the Nike React Element 55.
Unlike the React Presto version, there is no animated panda on the insole, although that's not necessarily a bad thing. If you were a big fan of the colorway but aren't necessarily a fan of the Presto, the React Element 55 will surely act as an adequate alternative.
According to Sneaker News, the shoe is available for purchase on Nike.com for $130 USD although it's only accessible to Nike members so you'll have to be signed into your account to cop.
Are these a must have or will you be passing on this drop?
