Yes, you can achieve the same item shadow effect for active and hover states on a Webflow site by following these steps:

Identify the element: Determine which element you want to apply the shadow effect to. It could be a button, image, or any other element on your web page.
Design the active state: In the Webflow Designer, select the element and navigate to the "States" panel. Click on the "+" button to create a new state and select "Active" from the dropdown menu. This will allow you to make changes specifically to the active state of the element.
Design the hover state: Similarly, create a new state by clicking on the "+" button in the "States" panel and select "Hover" from the dropdown menu. This will enable you to make changes to the hover state of the element.
Add the shadow effect: With the active state or hover state selected, go to the "Style" panel and find the "Box shadow" option. You can adjust the settings for the shadow, including the color, spread, blur, and position. Make the desired changes to create the shadow effect you want.
Fine-tune the shadow effect: To make the shadow effect more specific to your mockup, you can further customize it by adjusting additional properties like opacity and angle in the "Box shadow" settings. Experiment with different values until you achieve the desired result.
Preview and publish: Once you are satisfied with the shadow effects for the active and hover states, preview your site in the Webflow Designer to see how it looks and fine-tune if necessary. After you have finalized the design, publish your site to make the changes live on the web.

Using these steps, you should be able to achieve the same item shadow as shown in your mockup for active and hover states on your Webflow site.
