Continuing to ride the 2000s fashion wave, Nike is unleashing a ton of new Shox footwear for Spring/Summer 2025. We’ve spilled ink on nearly a dozen new Shox TL colorways in the last two months alone, and now we’re adding a “Light Smoke Grey/Bright Mandarin/Black” edition to the mix.

Eyes are first drawn to a “Bright Mandarin” Swoosh, which is mirrored by a fade-to-black gradient on the TPU overlays. Patterned synthetic material rests one layer down, and the joined toe box/tongue is comprised of breathable mesh. Underfoot, the boingy Shox cushioning pillars unite in “Light Smoke Grey.”

The “Light Smoke Grey/Bright Mandarin/Black” Shox TL releases Spring/Summer 2025, carrying a $180 box price. See official images below if you’re considering copping.

Moving across the Nike campus, raffles for the Jordan 4 SB “Navy” are starting to go live.
