Nike Shox Ride 2 "Olive Flak" IH4468-001

Nike’s Shox Ride 2 steps into the spotlight once again, this time with a rugged “Olive Flak” finish that draws inspiration from utilitarian gear and outdoor-ready designs. The silhouette keeps its aggressive DNA intact, with those unmistakable Shox pillars underfoot. But it’s the upper that commands attention here. A shimmering, moulded synthetic shell drenched in an iridescent green-gold hue gives this version a bold visual twist. Depending on the light, it shifts between earthy olive tones and a metallic sheen, adding an edge to a silhouette built for both nostalgia and performance.

The rest of the sneaker stays blacked out, from the foam midsole to the mesh tongue and laces, letting the upper’s colour-changing finish take centre stage. The contrast works perfectly, giving it a sleek and wearable look that’s still loud in all the right places. Perforations around the ankle and tongue ensure breathability, keeping things comfortable whether you’re walking city streets or adding these to your weekend rotation.

Nike continues to explore new material stories with the Shox Ride 2, and the “Olive Flak” might be one of the most striking releases yet. It fuses 2000s tech-runner vibes with a modern palette that feels right at home in 2025.
