Nike’s Craziest Ballet Sneaker Is Shox-ingly Good
The concept of a ballet sneaker is already pretty wild. But prima-worthy steppers pumped up on Nike's Shox technology are next-level.
Thank Copenhagen retailer Naked for the newest Shox ballet sneakers, called Shox Z Calistra.
It's essentially a reworked Nike Shox Z sneaker, complete with Mary Jane-like styling (straps included) and glossed-up uppers. Oh, and the famous Shox columns bring comfort and a slight lift, making the collaborative shoe sort of like a ballerina sneaker-heel. Again, these next-level.
Nike has dropped some nice Shox Z sneakers, including couture-level pairs wrapped in lace and pearls. But the Naked collab is extremely on pointe.
And the team-up doesn't stop at the dance hall. The brand has also prepared a second, more traditional Nike Shox Z sneaker, free of ballet inspo and dressed in a classic metallic silver colorway.
It's unknown when Naked's Nike Shox Z collab will release. But according to sneaker leakers, the shoes are expected to launch sometime this spring on Naked and Nike's websites.
