Nike Shox Ride 2 "Metallic Platinum" IB8174-100

Nike taps into early-2000s attitude with the Shox Ride 2 “Metallic Platinum.” It’s bold, chunky, and unapologetically loud—but with a twist. This version arrives with distressed textures and faded detailing, giving the futuristic runner a worn-in, vintage feel straight out of the box.

The upper features a lightweight textile base in crisp white, layered with metallic platinum synthetic overlays that add structure without the bulk. Scuffed graphics and black speckling sit across the surface, creating an aged aesthetic that sets it apart from clean-cut reissues. Embroidered Swooshes sit on both sides, while Shox logos on the tongue and heel round out the branding.

Underfoot, Nike loads the heel with four silver Shox columns that absorb impact and return energy with every step. Up front, a visible Air unit delivers bounce and comfort through the forefoot. The midsole carries a grazed finish to match the upper, while the semi-translucent outsole comes packed with thick, circular traction pods—ready to grip across a mix of surfaces.

This isn’t a polished retro. It’s a raw, lived-in revival of a shoe that always looked ahead. The Shox Ride 2 “Metallic Platinum” brings nostalgia, edge, and comfort together in one unapologetic package.
