After launching early in very limited numbers at Foot Locker and Nike’s Sneakeasy pop-up, the Shox Gravity now has a wider release date.
While this introductory colorway may be a bit colorful for some, Nike showcased some more toned-down colorways at its investor summit back in October of 2017. There is no official word yet, but we should see more colorways in the coming months.
The original Nike Shox was born in 1997 from twin plates with foam columns. Today, the Shox Gravity is a modern update to the original concept. Like the original, it uses twin plates with foam cushioning under the heel, but now cinches closed with a speed lacing Flywire cable system.

Retailing for $150, the Nike Shox Gravity drops via Nike SNKRS on January 12.
Let us know if you have been waiting on Nike Shox to return and whether or not you’ll pick up the update.

I’m not sure if the shoe looks like ass or if its just the colorway but its a hard pass for me at this point.
If I was given these shoes for free I wouldn’t wear them
I had one pair of Shox and this was a gimmick: thats no cushion, just a bit of rubber (again based on my limited experience)
The colors on the sole look nice but that’s about it
Nike so desperate they are bringing back their worst gimmicks
