The Nike Shox R4 “Obsidian/Diffused Blue” is a reboot of a classic early 2000’s sneaker.
Obsidian leather sidewalls contrast with pebbled Diffused Blue panels for a multi-layered build. Sleek reflective accents are scattered all over the upper for stand out style and night time visibility. Brighter Aluminum touches for the lining helps to mute the darkness.
Released in 2000, the Shox R4 was an innovative early adopter of the pillowy underfoot Shox cushioning system with a futuristic aesthetic. The updated version will include some visual cues from the OG but with an emphasis on lifestyle rather than performance. It’s the little details that sneakerheads will appreciate—Nike is reimagining the Shox while modernizing the silhouette.
The stitched Swoosh logos and traditional Shox columns in Diffused Blue adds to the nostalgic yet modern appearance.
The Nike Shox R4 “Obsidian/Diffused Blue” will drop in Fall 2025 for $155. You can cop them on Nike.com as well as a select retailers.
