SneakersNIKE X MARTINE ROSE SHOX - REGISTER NOW
7 July 2022Transforming an iconoclastic silhouette with her uncompromising vision, Martine Rose shares her unique interpretation of the Nike Shox.
Martine Rose is a designer whose work is deeply immersed in the subcultural, often creating garments with a rich narrative running throughout them. Elements of subcultures are often taken, subverted and reworked from an unconventional angle, something which is perfectly captured by Rose’s second collaboration with Nike.
Nike’s iconic Shox is the footwear of choice — chosen for its resonance in underground UK subcultures — though the approach taken is a vast departure from what we’re familiar with.
The end result is something more akin to a high heel than a sneaker, with that famous Shox cushioning raised to create an elevated platform. The rest of the shoe is equally as experimental, with uppers that reference the Jamaican-British designer’s signature mules.
