The Nike Shox Ride 2 sneaker is already an icon straight from the early 2000s. The super-techy shoe instantly becomes a mega-classic in the brand's famous "Bred" colorway.

The ride continues for Nike's Shox sneaker, which recently returned to the sneaker world. It's truly back and better as Nike continues to give impressive makeovers to the revived model (denim spins included).

The latest "Bred" version, on the other hand, is almost too much Swoosh greatness in one shoe.

The canvas is, again, the Shox Ride 2, one of Nike's craziest designs ever, and it still looks ahead of its time even years later. Expect pretty much all of its signature fixings, including the aughts-style layered upper and those Shox columns bringing a high-tech, cushioned lift to the heel.

Nike then paints the shoe in the unmistakable "Bred" colors, resulting in a primarily black takeover with bold red splashes landing on the heels and branding moments.

The Nike Shox Ride 2 wouldn't be the first time "Bred" landed on a classic. The famous "Bred" colorway gave life to the first-ever Jordan Brand sneaker, a Jordan 1 that broke NBA rules and went down in history as one of the greatest sneakers ever.

Nike has also blessed us with the famed "Bred" Jordan 4s and Jordan 11 sneakers. The color scheme even graced non-Jordan models, like the Air Max 90 and Air Force 1, making these established sneakers even more timeless.

The "Bred" magic unfolds again on the Nike Shox Ride 2 sneaker, which is expected to drop during the summer at Nike for $190. Surprisingly, in this case, it costs more to be a fine "Bred" stepper than a premium all-leather pair.
