Nike’s Shox TL 'Dracula' and adidas’ Bob Marley SL-72 RS are set to dominate October sneaker releases. The Shox TL, inspired by Dracula, combines retro design with a futuristic edge, while the Bob Marley SL-72 honors the reggae icon with a subtle yet meaningful design.
Nike Shox TL 'Dracula' Returns with Futuristic Design and Nostalgic Appeal, Selling Out Quickly
Despite lacking significant brand marketing efforts, Nike’s Shox running line has experienced a resurgence, fueled by a wave of 2000s nostalgia and demand for retro design. Recognizing the organic interest, Nike has quietly reintroduced some iconic Shox runners. Among these is the Nike Shox TL, a fan favorite thanks to its full-length Shox columns and futuristic, almost alien-like upper design, which has captured the attention of sneaker enthusiasts.
According to Sneaker News, the Nike Shox TL has been selling out quickly in popular sizes, a testament to its strong appeal. The all-black version has been prevalent, with bold touches of University Red and Metallic Silver. It offers a sleek, edgy look that seamlessly blends sport and street culture. The Dracula-inspired color scheme further enhances its crossover appeal. Currently available on Nike.com for $170, those interested should act fast to secure a pair.

adidas Honors Bob Marley with SL72 Collaboration, Blending Subtle Design with Cultural Significance
In a collaboration rooted in cultural history, adidas is preparing to launch an official shoe honoring reggae legend Bob Marley. Marley, known for his love of football and frequently seen wearing the Three Stripes brand, shared a natural synergy with adidas, mainly through models like the SL72, which he wore regularly. With the SL72 making a retro comeback this year, the timing of this collaboration feels especially fitting.
The shoe incorporates elements reminiscent of Marley’s Rastafarian identity but with a subversive twist. Instead of the expected bright red, green, and yellow color scheme, the collaboration opts for more subtle tones featuring burgundy, cream, and pastel green. Co-branding details are thoughtfully executed, with a black-and-white image of Marley stamped on the tongue, his signature in gold on the heel counter, and branding that replaces his name with adidas’ on the insole.
This collaboration has been anticipated for some time, with Sneaker News receiving an early sample version for unboxing. The sample featured a black-collared version, differing from the white-collared model that will be officially released. With its combination of cultural significance and careful design, the Bob Marley x adidas SL72 collaboration is shaping to be one of the brand’s standout releases.
