Product Information

Full details

Its key benefit lies in the iconic four-columned Shox technology, which provides responsive cushioning and excellent shock absorption for all-day wear.

FAQs

What is Nike Shox technology?

Nike Shox technology uses a series of distinctive columnar structures in the heel (four in this model) that compress and rebound, providing responsive cushioning and exceptional shock absorption. This helps to reduce impact during walking or light activities.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Nike Shox Ride 2 Premium is best suited for casual wear, walking, and light athletic activities due to its comfort-focused design and shock absorption. While they offer cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance or long-distance running.

How do I clean the black leather and mesh materials?

For mesh, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For premium leather, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, applying it with a soft cloth. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What is the primary color of this shoe?

The shoe features a predominantly black upper, complemented by coppery 'Light British Tan' undertones and details, giving it a sophisticated and versatile appearance.

Is this a men's shoe?

Yes, this specific model of the Nike Shox Ride 2 Premium is designed for adult males.

What size is this product?

This particular product is a UK size 13. Other sizes may be available.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from the soles

Inspect the four Shox columns for trapped debris or foreign objects. A gentle cleaning with a soft brush and mild soap can often resolve this. Ensure the shoes are thoroughly dry before wearing again.

Discomfort or rubbing during wear

Ensure you have the correct size (UK 13 for this model). Re-adjust your lacing to ensure it's snug but not overly tight. Consider wearing appropriate athletic socks to prevent friction.

Material (mesh or leather) looking dull or dirty

Follow the specific care instructions for cleaning mesh and leather provided above. Regular cleaning prevents build-up and helps maintain the shoe's appearance.

Sole traction feels reduced

Clean the rubber outsoles thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt, mud, or debris. A clean outsole provides optimal grip.

Shoe losing its shape

Store your sneakers with shoe trees when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture or crushing under other items.

Care Instructions

To maintain the premium look and longevity of your Nike Shox Ride 2:

  1. Cleaning Mesh: For the breathable mesh sections, gently wipe with a damp cloth using mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing which can damage the material.
  2. Cleaning Leather: For the premium leather uppers, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Apply with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. This helps to clean, protect, and moisturize the leather.
  3. Outsole Care: Clean the rubber outsoles with a stiff brush and mild soap to remove dirt and debris, which helps maintain traction.
  4. Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and fading. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or harsh cleaning agents, as these can strip colors and damage materials.
