With the Shox Ride 2 in the new ‘Smoke Grey/University Red’ colourway, Nike continues its Y2K retro offensive, bringing back the popular sneaker in a fresh but familiar look. The new ‘Smoke Grey/University Red’ colourway takes classic tech designs from the early 2000s and combines them with modern streetwear appeal.

The upper is made of breathable mesh and synthetic overlays in various shades of grey. Subtle metallic silver details add depth, while 3M accents on the side reflect light for added visibility. The red Shox elements on the heel are a clear eye-catcher. Not only do they look good, they also provide responsive cushioning.

The combination of Shox technology in the heel and a Max Air element in the forefoot offers optimal comfort for urban use. The profiled outsole provides reliable traction, while the geometrically shaped midsole ensures stability and structure.

The drop will take place on 6 October 2025, and the price will be £180.
