Days before the official release of the highly-anticipated Nike React Element 87, another new silhouette from the Swoosh has surfaced with the same unique tooling that takes more of an ACG-styled approach.

Dubbed the React Runner SP Mid SOE, this model brings React cushioning to a mid-cut style. Unlike the React Element 87, this pair utilizes a Flyknit upper in place of the translucent textile. Welded bands are found over the seams on the knit upper as well. Other details include a black tab connecting the midsole to the ankle collar, hiking laces, and branding in the form of both large and miniature Swooshes on the lateral side panel. 

This particular colorway that has surfaced sports a blue Flyknit upper, infrared detailing, and sits atop a white React midsole. 

There is currently no word on an official release date for the Nike React Runner SP Mid SOE. 

UPDATE (10/10): New images have surfaced of the Nike React Runner Mid WR ISPA. The technical mid-top will initially be offered in navy blue and white colorways with infrared accents. Stay tuned for news on the official release date.
