Nike continues its run of bold retro revivals with a new colorway for the Shox TL, a silhouette that first turned heads in the early 2000s. This Fall, the gravity-defying model returns in a vibrant “Playful Pink” edition, adding a striking pop to the silhouette’s aggressive design.
The pair features a gradient mesh upper that shifts from soft lilac to deep magenta, framed by signature Shox TPU overlays in glossy black. Matching Shox columns underfoot continue the blacked-out treatment, balancing the sneaker’s loud upper with a grounded base. Pink accents land on the branding elements throughout — including the Swoosh, insole, and heel badge — reinforcing the playful energy without going overboard.
Mesh base layers ensure breathability, while the unmistakable Shox cushioning system provides responsive bounce across the entire footbed. Despite its tech-forward aesthetic, the Shox TL remains a nostalgic nod to turn-of-the-century design, combining futuristic attitude with Y2K-era boldness.
Official release details for the Nike Shox TL “Playful Pink” have yet to be announced, but the pair is expected to release Fall 2025 via Nike.com and select retailers.
