All Nike Shox R4 release dates & colorways
Black Swooshes have pale stitched borders, while lighter perforated sections wrap the toe, upper eyelets and heel. White laces sit between those panels. The black cushioning columns remain fully exposed below the rear, contrasting with the solid grey forefoot sole.
The upper combines synthetic material and textile, with laser perforations for ventilation. Foam accompanies the Shox cushioning, whose flexible columns sit beneath the heel. The modified circular Waffle outsole changes from small round forefoot shapes to larger black rings under the rear columns. Raised channels through the arch connect those tread areas visually. A pale plate-like edge frames the bottom of the heel assembly.
