The Nike React Element 55 'Magpie' is a part of a his & hers pack and is a special edition sneaker that pays homage to China's Qixi festival, also known as the Chinese Valentine's Day. Released on August 3rd, 2019, it showcases updated colors and elements that beautifully capture the myth of the cowherd and weaver girl. According to the legend, these two lovers were separated and banished to opposite sides of a river, but once a year, a flock of magpies magically forms a bridge to bring them together. To honor these avian heroes, the design of the sneaker incorporates iridescent details and a red graphic at the heel.
