Nike Shox TL 'Clueless' (W)

The Nike Shox TL Clueless with style code IM5167-001 dresses one of Nike's most futuristic silhouettes in the most famous outfit of 1990s cinema. The Shox TL launched in 2003 as the first model to run Nike Shox columns across the full length of the foot, which is where the TL for Total comes from. Originally marketed as a running shoe, its glossy, machine-like look quickly turned it into a streetwear favourite, and the retro that Nike reintroduced in 2019 brought it back in near-exact form. This women's edition takes its cue from Cher Horowitz's yellow check suit in Clueless, pairing the bold plaid with the shoe's unmistakable column sole for a pair that is equal parts nostalgia and attitude.

Colorway: Black / Yellow Ochre / White

The Nike Shox TL Clueless wraps the entire upper in a yellow, black and white check pattern that runs from the toe across the sides and around onto the heel, a direct nod to the plaid that made Cher's outfit iconic. Black details frame the check and keep the look sharp, while the Shox lettering visible from above confirms what is going on underneath. The signature full-length Shox columns sit in black and provide the chunky, spring-loaded silhouette the TL is known for, supported by moderator plates that let the columns compress and bounce back with every step. A TPU heel plate adds lateral stability and a rubber outsole delivers grip. With the plaid doing all the talking, style code IM5167-001 works best with a simple black or denim base, or fully committed to the preppy nineties theme.

How does the Nike Shox TL Clueless fit?

The Nike Shox TL Clueless fits true to size for most wearers, so take your regular Nike women's size. The moulded midfoot overlays hold the foot snugly and the toe box is on the narrow side, so if you have wider feet, go half a size up. The low-cut collar makes the shoe easy to slip on, and the full-length Shox columns with the foam midsole give firm, bouncy cushioning that stays stable throughout the day.
