Nike Presents the Shox Z
The anticipated silhouette is a playful, elevated take on the Shox lineage.
Summary
- Teased during the summer, Nike has officially presented the Shox Z
- The new model balances elegance and sportstyle with a versatility-oriented build
- It has already dropped in China and will be arriving globally later this year
Nike has put the Shox franchise back in the spotlight this year, with several of its silhouettes offering an abundance of colorways throughout. While it’s been asserted as a staple, there’s only been a small handful of tangible moments in which the Shox has captivated the sneaker space. However, we hypothesized back in July that a newly-teased Shox model could bring fresh energy.
Now, the Shox Z has officially been announced by Nike, coinciding with a limited launch in China. This elevated, minimalist take on the Shox franchise features a kitten heel-like build, balancing elegance and sportstyle. It’s built for around-the-clock wear, offering a modern reinterpretation of the classic line. 10 colorways have been presented, ranging from a Martine Rose Shox MR4-adjacent black and red to neon iterations.
For those looking to pick up a pair, Nike has officially launched the Shox Z in China. It is scheduled to see a global launch later this year via Nike SNKRS and select retailers in a wide variety of colorways at an expected price point of $140 USD. Stay tuned for updates as we await more information regarding its wider rollout.
