Nike isn’t done with the Shox just yet. After years of reworks, comebacks, and collaborations, the sportswear giant is back with something entirely unexpected. The ‘Nike Shox Z’. A low-profile sneaker that merges classic Shox cushioning with the silhouette of a kitten heel.

A Closer Look…

The design keeps things minimal at the front, while the rear curves upwards in kitten heel fashion, creating a sleek, sculptural shape. While the wavy lines nod to the classic Shox TL, there are traces of the Shox NZ in there too. It’s part throwback, part reinvention.

Made for those who like their trainers with a twist, this model taps into the same fashion-forward energy that made the Martine Rose x Nike Shox such a standout. With the rise of hybrid styles like the New Balance 1906L, it’s clear that sneaker lovers are more open than ever to something different.

The first colourways:

There’s no confirmed release date yet, but all signs point to an Autumn/Winter 2025 drop. The retail price is expected to be around £110.
