Despite a precipitous fall from grace within the footwear industry (and overall), you won’t be able to surf sneaker coverage for long without seeing some mention of Kanye West. Be it in the ensuing work from alumni of his imprint like Steven Smith or Jerry Lorenzo, or in entirely unrelated product, lobbing “Yeezy taught me” at a sneaker remains a frequent play in this hobby of ours.

We don’t disparage without acknowledging our role in that dynamic, but come on—any all-red is bound to draw “Red October” comparisons. That goes for the Nike Shox TL “Gym Red” at hand, especially given the impending arrival of Q4. It’s the sole color code utilized on this shoe, perhaps unsurprising given its comprehensive profile, but the hardware notes help break up this shoe upon further inspection. The most notable is the glossy overlays at the quarter, an eye-catching section for a shoe that’s already impossible to miss.

The Nike Shox TL “Gym Red” should be populating Nike.com and partnering retailers in the near future, with a $180 sticker price. Be ready for women’s-exclusive sizing.
