FAQs
What makes the Nike Shox R4 cushioning unique?
The Nike Shox R4 features a system of hollow columns in the heel, providing responsive cushioning and a distinctive 'bouncy' feel upon impact.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Shox cushioning offers impact absorption, the Nike Shox R4 is primarily designed as a casual trainer and fashion sneaker, not for performance running.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper of this specific model (HQ1988-004) is made from faux leather.
How do I clean the Shox columns?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt, followed by a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, it is recommended to wear trainers like the Shox R4 with socks for comfort and hygiene.
What does 'Shox R4' signify?
'Shox' refers to the proprietary Nike cushioning technology, and 'R4' typically denotes a specific iteration or model within the Shox line.
Where can I find other sizes or colors?
This guide focuses on the 'Metallic Silver Psychic Blue' variant in UK size 12.5. Other sizes and colorways are available under different product listings.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially.
This is common with new Shox R4 models. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the cushioning to break in.
Laces are difficult to tie or stay tied.
Ensure you are using a standard shoelace knot. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, grippier laces.
Dirt accumulation in Shox columns.
Use a soft brush (like a toothbrush or a specialized shoe brush) to gently dislodge dirt from the Shox columns. A damp cloth can be used for residue.
Faux leather shows scuffs.
Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. For more persistent marks, consider a leather conditioner suitable for faux leather, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Nike Shox R4 requires no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males. Sizing is provided in UK men's foot sizes. While not performance-specific athletic shoes, they are compatible with casual attire.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the faux leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the material.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a brush or cloth to gently clean the Shox columns and rubber sole. Stubborn dirt can be removed with a mild soap and water solution.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box or bag to protect them from dust and damage.
