After his duo of special Nike Shox R4s released at the tail end of May, Brazilian footballer Neymar Jr and the Swoosh have yet another collaborative pair of the spring-equipped sneakers on the way: a black/gold Nike Shox TL. The bold design features a dark black mesh upper, overlaid with a black plastic cage and a textured gold Swoosh. Signature details arrive on both the tongue and the heel, where the Nike Shox logo is flipped 90 degrees clockwise, turning its normal “Z” into an “N” for Neymar. Silver hits appear on the heel overlay, front tip of the toebox and midsole’s Pebax support plates, while down below, the full-foot Shox cushioning system is split between black on the forefoot and a regal gold on the heel. A special print on the insole then completes the look. Loud, somewhat divisive, and unquestionably unique just like the Paris Saint-Germain forward himself, these new Nike shoes will release on July 13th at retailers like atmos for 17,500 yen, or roughly $160 USD. Get a first look right here, and stay tuned for more info on a stateside release as it’s available.
