Nike continues its Y2K revival with the Shox Ride 2 in its latest “Smoke Grey/University Red” colorway. The upper features a tonal mix of breathable mesh and synthetic overlays, doused in “Smoke Grey” and “Iron Grey.” Metallic silver accents add subtle contrast, while reflective 3M detailing along the quarter panel provides low-light visibility. The standout feature remains the “University Red” Shox columns at the heel, delivering responsive cushioning and visual punch with every step.

Functionally, the sneaker is built for comfort and impact absorption, thanks to its signature Shox technology and Max Air unit in the forefoot. The sculpted midsole and durable rubber outsole ensure stability and traction across urban terrain.
