It all began in 2000 when the Nike Air Presto made its debut. The shoe was an instant favorite due to its comfort-focused design. It was created specifically with versatility in mind. Elements like a hyper-stretchy upper gave it that signature “magic” feel, while unexpected, dynamic colorways set it apart from everything else in your closet. There was a playfulness about them that was almost cartoonish — and it struck just the right tone for those who sought footwear that was fun and functional all at once.
React to This
Then came the Presto React. Nike built on the popularity of the OG model and added a layer of its beloved Nike React foam to recreate the shoe and amplify it with greater stability and comfort. The cushioned system leads to greater return on energy, elevated response time, and the kind of effortless bounce that feels like you’re running and walking on air.
The construction of the foam gives the shoe a lightweight feel, and the sleek midsole contributes to a silhouette that fits the foot without sacrificing comfort. It’s also built with heel and tongue eyestays so you can have some fun with your lacing choices.
Add in the little features that made the first Presto so special, like a crash pad at the heel and that wonderfully familiar bootie style, and you have a shoe that’s bright and perfect for keeping you going on your everyday adventures.
Next-Level Style
How to wear these next-level kicks? Crazy cushioning coupled with wild colors make them the perfect shoes for your daily grind — and that means mixing and matching them with everything imaginable. Pull on your basketball shorts, throw on a T-shirt, and make your way to the court for a quick game. Or slip into your fleece pants and a cozy hoodie for chill, low-key vibes when you’re taking the day off. Whether you’re breaking a sweat or not, you’ll love the way Presto React completes your wardrobe.
