Hypebae’s 2024 Gift Guide: Nike Serves Up Alternative Styles for Week Three
Switching from stealthy dark tones to crisp white hues.
It wouldn’t be a Hypebae Gift Guide without a generous helping of sneakers, and for the latest two-part installment, Nike comes right on cue with new iterations of its must-have silhouettes.
Following up on last week’s edit of stealthy kicks, the sportswear brand updates its featured line-up with sneakers that subscribe to a sleek and refined aesthetic. In contrast to the deep tones of winter footwear, these iterations go against the grain with some models adopting lighter colorways enhanced by high-gloss TPU and metallic materials. If playing it safe isn’t your cup of tea, Nike’s latest offering is certain to pack a punch.
Discover Hypebae’s pick of new season sneakers in the Gift Guide below.
Shox R4 “White”
Finding a new luxe look this winter is Nike’s noughties icon: the Shox R4. Exclusively available on its app, the clean-cut silhouette welcomes a mix of materials including leather, mesh, and rubber. Swapping out the famous “Black/Metallic Silver/Max Orange” colorway, an updated palette of “White” and “Metallic Silver” hues enrich the material make-up in a plush finishing touch.
P-6000 “Black/ Burgundy Crush”
A perfect balance of sporty and casual, the P-6000 has won over herds of sneakerheads since its release. Featuring a unique design that amalgamates the best elements of retro Pegasus silhouettes, its layered lines are made for playful colorways and designs including the winter edition with a mottled grey print, black overlay, and a purple-outlined swoosh.
Shox TL “White”
Having featured the Shox TL “Black” in last week’s edit, Nike follows up with the silhouette in “White” accompanied by pops of “Metallic Silver” on the heel tab and Swoosh. The crisp and cool tones of the latest iteration come together to create a statement look reminiscent of a fresh blanket of snow. Wear them on a winter’s day to show off the icy aesthetic, or even at night with its reflective threadwork bringing a striking glow.
Shox TL “Wolf Grey”
The Shox TL is undoubtedly Nike’s silhouette of the season. Maintaining the distinctive qualities of the original 2003 model, the contemporary iteration features a padded mesh body overlaid with a webbed cage that flows seamlessly into the springy Shox technology base. In a grey and black colorway, its striking build comes highlighted with full impact.
Zoom Vomero 5 “Black/ Burgundy Crush”
Techy in look – and in feel – the most recent Zoom Vomero 5 iterations have been pushing the runner into a gorp-core territory. While some adopt a reinforced mudguard or thick midsole, this particular model stays streamlined yet features the addition of a ripstop upper, mesh tongue, and rope laces. To finish, purple and blue metallic panels give the shoe an extra holiday-ready shine.
