October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month is always a sensitive occasion. One in three people you meet is affected by the horrendous disease, which is why each and every year the sneaker community bands together for a series of inspired releases, most of which donate some if not all of its proceeds to the cause. Long-time Swoosh partners Sneaker Room has been one of the most prominent collaborators to the cause, and they return once more in 2019 with a three-piece pack fundraising React Element 87s.
The three distinct versions of the React Element 87 keep the silhouette and the color pink consistent, with each release tier becoming both more expensive and more limited in numbers. Each style is individually numbered on the heel stripe via the respective production runs, while “SR Cares” adorns the upper tip of the tongue, and their mantra — “Changing the World One Sole at a Time” — pegged onto the sole unit’s rear profile rivets. Like every year prior, Sneaker Room’s special October releases will be available to the public but will be ultra-limited. the pink/pink pair is set at $250 with just 525 pairs made; the white/pink retails at $500 with only 126 pairs made, and the Swarovski-Swooshed black/pink pair retails at $1,000 with a mere 63 pairs made. The shoes will be available exclusively at Sneaker Room in-store and online on September 28th. All proceeds of this release will go directly to the Jersey City Medical Center.
