Forget-me-nots x Nike T90 Shox Magia Releases June 13
The Tokyo-based boutique Forget-me-nots has partnered with Nike to revive the T90 Shox Magia, a soccer-hybrid silhouette, in two bold gradient iterations. The collab arrives June 13 in electric green and soft pink iterations, each anchored by Nike's signature chrome-finished Shox cushioning.

Forget-me-nots' collaboration with Nike represents a deliberate pivot toward performance-inflected footwear with genuine street credibility. The T90 Shox Magia—a model that blurs lines between pitch and pavement—gets a full design reimagining through gradient colorwork and metallic accents that prioritize visual impact without sacrificing the silhouette's structural DNA.
Each colorway follows an intentional fade narrative. The "Green Gusto" variant starts in black at the toe box, transitions through a neon-bright midfoot band, then retreats to black at the heel. The "Shy Pink" mirror this progression with softer rose tones bleeding into black leather. Both versions feature quilted synthetic uppers that emphasize texture over logo domination, and high-contrast metallic silver paneling that wraps the sides for dimensional contrast.
Design & Cushioning
The real engineering lives underfoot. Nike's multi-columned Shox unit—treated in reflective chrome—anchors the heel with the mechanical responsiveness the system was engineered for. This isn't nostalgic performance; it's a deliberate choice to make vintage tech visible and functional in contemporary streetwear.
The collaborative approach avoids over-branding. Forget-me-nots' influence shows in restraint: the gradient work is dramatic but not cartoonish, and the material choices (quilted leather, metallics) elevate the piece beyond typical team-sport releases.
