Nike Shox Ride 2 "Black University Red" II7635-001

The Nike Shox Ride 2 “Black University Red” throws it back to the roots of early 2000s tech while giving it a fresh, street-focused twist. With a colourway that nods to Nike’s heritage, this pair sets the tone with bold University Red Shox columns under the heel and a visible Max Air unit up front. It looks fast even when standing still.

Nike wraps the upper in a blend of breathable textile mesh and genuine leather, creating a layered look that feels both athletic and aggressive. The black and medium ash combo gives it a stealth base, while those red accents take cues from past icons—including Skepta’s 2019 Shox TL collab.

Underfoot, the Shox pillars still steal the spotlight. This mechanical cushioning system compresses under pressure and springs back to shape, giving the heel extra snap and bounce. Pair that with the Max Air unit in the forefoot and the result is a ride that feels dynamic across the entire sole.

The Shox Ride 2 doesn’t just rely on nostalgia. It builds on it with more comfort, better breathability, and a layered aesthetic that works on pavement or runway. From the tech to the trims, it brings together the best of early-2000s energy with a sharper edge for now. If you missed the Shox wave the first time around, this one gives you a second chance—with a little more attitude.
