The Nike Shox R4 “Black Spruce” appears ahead of Spring 2026 with a noticeably calmer approach. Once defined by aggressive color blocking, this version shifts toward restraint without losing its tech identity.

White leather covers the upper, giving the silhouette structure and clarity. Dark green Black Spruce overlays wrap the lower half, creating depth instead of contrast overload. Spruce Aura Swooshes soften the look further, offering a more composed alternative to past Shox colorways.

Black Shox columns remain untouched, keeping the model’s mechanical edge intact. Olive Aura pads beneath add just enough visual interest without disrupting balance.

Expect the Nike Shox R4 “Black Spruce” to release in Spring 2026 for $155 via Nike.com and select retailers.
