Woman Shox Z

The Nike Shox Z comes from a period when Nike was fully committed to making the future look wearable.

Part of the brand’s late ’90s and early 2000s innovation push, the silhouette combines a streamlined shape with the sort of mechanical cushioning setup that made Shox one of Nike’s most recognizable silhouette. This cyber green and black colorway turns the volume up further, highlighting the layered construction and unmistakable tooling from every angle.

The Shox DNA is legit, and that’s exactly what makes us rate it. Nike wasn’t interested in playing it safe when this line first launched, and the Z still carries that same energy today. The spring-loaded cushioning, technical detailing and futuristic aesthetic feel every bit as bold now as they did back then.

Underfoot, the signature Shox columns deliver the responsive ride that built the silhouette’s reputation, while the mesh and synthetic upper keeps things lightweight, supportive and ready for everyday wear.
