Nike continues to revisit its archives, this time with a fresh take on a Y2K classic. The women’s-exclusive Nike Shox TL “Playful Pink” brings a vibrant burst of color to the unmistakable silhouette that defined an era of footwear innovation. This release is expected to capture the attention of those who appreciate a nostalgic design with a contemporary edge.

The shoe’s design features two opposing gradients for a striking visual effect. Its mesh base transitions from black to white, while the glossy black TPU cages that provide structure reverse this pattern. The result is a look reminiscent of a futuristic, neon-lit city. A solid black color anchors the design and appears on the famous Shox columns underfoot that give the shoe its responsive bounce.

Pops of “Playful Pink” on key branding elements, including the Swoosh, insole, and heel badge, add to the visual appeal. This use of color gives the sneaker a lively feel without overwhelming its aggressive design. The mesh upper ensures breathability, and the full-length Shox cushioning system provides its signature support. The overall aesthetic nods to the boldness of the early 2000s, updated for today’s style sensibilities.






The Nike Shox TL “Playful Pink” (SKU: IH4485-001) is scheduled for release in Fall 2025 and will be available on Nike.com and at select retailers. The retail price is set at $170.
