Nike Shox R4 Black Sneakers

The Nike Shox R4 Black Sneakers showcase an all-black colorway, toning down the sneaker’s Y2K design elements. Originally released in 2000, the Shox R4 silhouette has maintained an understated presence in the retro sneaker scene. The black iteration replaces the usual bright colorways with a stark black upper and accents in Max Orange. It features a textile-and-synthetic upper with laser-cut perforations and design lines highlighting the molded design. The standout feature is the Nike Shox column under the heel, providing shock absorption while distributing weight across the foot. Released on April 3, 2024, at a price of $140, the women's Nike Shox R4 Black pays homage to the Shox legacy with an upper almost identical to the 2001 model. The Shox R4 broke traditional pavement expectations with its synthetic upper inspired by spacesuits, featuring fluid ripples and laser perforations. Four compressive columns lift the heel for stability and bounce. Designed with breathable perforations and sculpted overlays, these sneakers offer a cushioned bounce-back feel.
