The Nike Shox Ride 2 Embraces a Distressed Design for 2025

Nike continues its creative era with the 2000s-era Shox Ride 2, introducing fresh textures and trail-ready updates to the retro runner.

The latest iteration swaps out traditional mesh for grid-patterned ripstop on the forefoot and underlays, offering added durability for off-road adventures. The upper combines “Light Bone” suede across the collar and eyelet sections, harmonizing with the ripstop base. In stark contrast, the lower half is bathed in black, creating a balanced yet striking aesthetic. Pops of bright yellow bring a retro hiking vibe, subtly integrated into the tongue and heel Shox branding, visible forefoot Air unit, and trail-inspired rope laces.

The Nike Shox Ride 2 “Light Bone” is set to drop in Spring 2025 with a $190 price tag.
