Matt Varga When you hear “Nike retro,” you’re likeliest to conjure up images of the Air Max Sunder or Vomero 5, representing the 90s curiosities and tech runners that light so much of Beaverton’s bring-backs. Especially when considering those two dominant verticals, the Shox subcategory sticks all the way out, better aligning with the start of the century yet still pushed by the Swoosh all the same.
That momentum isn’t looking to slow one bit as we get into the bulk of 2025’s catalog, either. Here, the Nike Shox TL appears with pretty down-the-middle overtones, pairing a dominant jet black profile with metallic silver flares at the quarter and in some the piping at the heel. As promised in our title, the real intrigue lies with splashes of “Laser Orange” dotting around the upper and a splash of vivid pink on the tongue tag, helping to deliver a “Sunset” execution in the margins of this overwhelming stealthy pair.
Expect the Nike Shox TL “Laser Orange/Metallic Silver” appearing on Nike.com and partnering retailers as a part of the Spring/Summer slate. A $170 retail price is likely.
