[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Growing up as a pre-teen in the late 90s and early 2000s, I remember watching those Nike Shox "boing" commercials on TV and always wanted to try on a pair. As a New Yorker and a Yankees fan, seeing Alex Rodriguez wear Shox on the field made me want to get a pair even more. Getting to finally try on a pair of Nike Shox sneakers feels long overdue.
My love of the Air Max line made wearing a combination of these two Nike technologies fun and enjoyable. The materials felt durable and comfortable, requiring no time to break them in. Not much that I'll change about the shoe, aside from the fact that the toe box feels slightly short and, naturally, the tall heel of the shoe can push your foot forward.

The Most Terrible Garbage Sizing by Nike
Nike's QC is utter slop.
These shoes fit a full cm smaller that their label size.
I don't know how Nike's quality control agents could let their factories do this.
It's like they've used a last a full size smaller to make their shoe, and then slapped a label that said a full sz bigger.

Amazing shoe with one flaw
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shoes are a stylish and comfortable shoe that works perfectly for everyday wear. I received the black colorway, which is versatile enough to match practically every outfit I own. The breathable material and comfortable cushioning make these shoes great for wearing throughout the day.
Unfortunately, there is one design flaw that keeps them from being perfect, the Shox logo on the tongue. The logo is made of a bulky, hard plastic material that becomes uncomfortable when bending my foot forward. Instead of the tongue flexing naturally with my foot, it feels like a hard plastic ball pressing against it.
Overall, I really like the look, fit, and feel of these shoes. If the shoe could be redesigned where the tongue has a softer or more flexible logo, these would easily receive a 5 star rating from me.

Good balance of cushion and support
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a somewhat active 35-year-old guy whose day involves everything from sitting in the office for a couple of hours to running around doing estimates and chasing kids the rest of the day, I need a shoe that can keep up, and the Nike Shox Ride 2 does that. I’ve worn plenty of heavily cushioned running shoes that are popular these days, but these strike a better balance between comfort and stability without feeling overly soft or like I’m walking on pillows. My feet are on the wider side, so I went up half a size, which worked out well with no tightness, pinching, or discomfort throughout the day. Overall, these are a great everyday shoe that delivers just the right amount of cushioning and support, whether I’m at my desk, on my feet for work, or keeping up with the kids.

Nice!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A very cool looking shoe that provides good support. It’s a little stiff but I anticipate that after a few more wears they’ll soften up a bit. I love the details of the different textures on the all black colorway. Overall it’s nice comfortable shoe.

Aesthetic
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I genuinely wanted to like these, and I do...to an extent. I had shox WAY back when they first came out and loved them. And it may just be me, but I have to admit that whilst the pad and heel of my foot are supported, I feel like my arch has zero support in these. I wore them out for a few hours and by the time I got home my foot was sore. That being said, they are fine for wearing to a post-yoga coffee and a quick jaunt to walk the pups, they are great. I love the solid sole, I like the aesthetics, and I even like the extra boost of height it gives me for reaching the top shelf at the grocery store, so I will definitely continue to wear them. However, for me, it doesn't bring enough arch support for me to last a cardio workout, rowing session, or tennis in these.

A Great Shoe In The Making
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wearing the Nike Shox Ride 2 for a little over 2 weeks now, and must say that I have had a positive experience with this shoe. Let me start with my reaction of holding these shoes fresh out of the signature Red Nike box. The all Black color-way made this shoe easy to love; the uniform color made me pay attention to the design of the shoe first and foremost. I could definitely tell that the Nike Shox Ride 2 look was a derivative of the classic design of the Airmax models of the 2000’s. I am a big fan of the red sideways “N” Logo, which looks to symbolize the shoe technology. They look great, and have a durable athletic look, but with a stylish finish.
Next, I would like to talk about the actual feel, fit,, performance, and comfort-ability of the Nike Shox Ride 2. I must say that they feel great in hand, and feels like a near premium shoe. The fit on the other hand did not feel so great, and is my only complaint of the shoe. The shoe fits a little too tight, and although the cushion at front of the shoe does help alleviate the pain of tightness on the big toe, it still makes the shoe less comfortable than what it could or should be. I would recommend for customers to go half a size up to compensate for this issue. Even still, I had a good experience wearing the Shox Ride 2’s outside, and they were great for standing, walking and jogging. I stood in these shoes for 8 hours straight and had no pain in the middle or back of my feet. These shoes definitely help distribute the weight that you put on your feet.
In Conclusion, these are and will be a great pickup for anyone who is looking for walking or running shoes, once and if they get the right size for comfort. They look and feel good, while also having great performance. The Nike Shox Ride 2 is definitely a shoe that I will keep my eye on in the future, especially regarding other Uniform color-ways.
