UPDATE 10/1/25: The Nike Shox TL “Black Gold” is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 8/20/25:
The Nike Shox TL is making a high-impact return, bringing back a silhouette that was one of the most popular at the start of the 2000s.

With a futuristic aesthetic and easily recognizable cushioning pillars, the Shox line was for a time Nike’s most performance-minded and streetwear-approved footwear. This forthcoming colorway is no different, offering a sleek combination of stealth and bravado.

Grounded in black mesh, the shoe’s upper is layered with glossy TPU cages that form ribbed frame around the rest of the shoe. Highlights of University Gold adorn the side Swooshes, lace loops, tongue branding and contrast lining at the heel of the shoe.

Accenting the shoe further are reflective elements on the laces and the immediately recognizable Shox columns in black on the midsole.

The Nike Shox TL “Black/University Gold” will release October 1, 2025 and will retail for $180 on Nike.com and select retail partners.
