The Nike Shox R4 in an all black colorway tones down the sneakers Y2K design elements. Originally released in 2000, the Shox R4 silhouette has maintained an understated presence in the retro sneaker scene. This black iteration features a stark black upper with accents in Max Orange. Part of the modified waffle sole, the branding on the tongue and the line of dots on the heel are also in Max Orange. The textile and synthetic upper features laser cut perforations and design lines highlighting the sneakers molded design. The stand out feature is the Nike Shox column under the heel. It provides shock absorption while distributing weight across the foot. The upper is almost identical to the model from 2001, paying homage to the Shox legacy.
