Matt Varga If the Nike Shox Ride 2 currently carries a “third wheel” atmosphere to it, it’s only by way of seniority (or poentially lack there of). Speaking in terms of their retro runs, the Shox TL and Shox R4 have the model beat in sheer time back on the shelves and, resultantly, number of colorways. The once-Supreme-assisted silhouette is just as capable an exemplar of Y2K sensibilities as its two peers, a strength that’s front and center with the “Metallic Silver” edition at hand.
Rather than leaning into the top/bottom layering that many other retro propositions do, this make-up coats the coats its upper in a full coating of “Metallic Silver,” yet goes one step further in the throwback theme with a sheer break to “Desert Khaki” as you work towards the back. Taken together with the tan raw leather edges, it almost creates an archaeological atmosphere, evoking something being “unearthed” rather than simply brought back from the archives. However you interpret this layout, the total contrast between the chrome hue and the earthy anchoring that surrounds it makes for a standout look, all the more important as the Shox Ride 2 looks to itself become a frequent face in the mainline.
The Nike Shox Ride 2 in “Metallic Silver/Desert Khaki” should populate Nike.com and local retailers sometime in the coming weeks, carrying a $190 retail price. Catch official images below and keep our Sneaker Release Dates page within reach for more info as it comes.
