Nike's Sleek. Lifted Sneaker is Shox-ingly Luxe
Sneakers
Few Nike sneakers fall into the underrated category. Great shoes get a lot of hype. It's simple sneaker science.
Still, Nike's system of Shox sneakers can always use a bit more hype, especially as the trend cycle brings them back to the forefront via collaborations with some of the coolest designers out right now. Martine Rose, the woman you are.
The patent leather Nike Shox Z is one such sneaker deserving of this acclaim. In rich burgundy, the Nike Shox Z takes the aughts energy of a classic Shox sneaker and distills it into something sharper, sleeker, and above all else, shinier.
Paneled lines give the Nike Shox Z a ribbed, licorice-esque outer that heightens the sneaker's futuristic synergy.
Those rear cylindrical springs, a hallmark of all Nike Shox sneakers, add volume without detracting from its slim demeanor.
This is notable not only because the results are ridiculously sublime, but also because it offers a nice contrast to the chunky ethos that orbits many Nike Shox sneakers right now. From Wallabee-coded runners to lifted chocolate marvels, Nike's Shox sneakers can play the big and bold role quite well.
Color us shox...
