Say Hello to the Nike React Presto

Nike has been known to dip into their archives and revamp classic models from time to time. Their latest revamp, the Nike React Presto is far more than a simple reworking. The new model “takes a holistic view of what made the original great by articulating revered characteristics of the Nike Air Presto and then kicking them up with a fresh attitude.” When it arrived on the scene in 2000, the Presto was tabbed as a “t-shirt for the foot.” The shoe was sold in sizes ranging from XS to XL and each colorway was a character (Shady Milkman, Unholy Cumulus , Brutal Honey, and Rabid Panda to name a few). The latter of which is integral to the Nike React Presto.

Channeling its past, each React Presto features a character-based color scheme (each character can seen on each shoe’s insole). Characters aren’t the only thing that’s familiar on the React Presto. Like its predecessors, it utilizes a sleek bootie construction, a supportive midfoot cage, and a protective heel crash pad. Now for the new specs. As the name suggests, the midsole is crafted with Nike React foam. Fluid and organic, the midsole geometry was tuned precisely for the Presto. A decision that makes this the most comfortable Presto ever. You’ll have tons of lacing options thanks to eyestays at the heel and tongue.
