Nike Shox technology has assisted countless heel-striking casual runners, but what happens when you take what might be the line’s most recognizable silhouette and alter its key feature? Even casual-er is one acceptable answer, as the Nike Air Max R4 is aimed squarely at the lifestyle market with a combination of Shox R4 upper plus the Air Max LTD/Wright tooling that’s been a low-key standby for years. This pair furthers its anachronistic character with a ballistic nylon-uppered Chicago-style getup that will remind more than one serious sneakerhead out there of the ‘Bred’ Air Jordan XIII. Click through to see these from some additional angles and let us know if these’ll be on your shopping list when they arrive at US retailers. Photos: LTD
