The Nike Shox R4 is on a legendary run (no pun intended). The early 2000s model has found a sweet spot in the current era of Y2K-inspired and tech-heavy footwear, hitting a resonating note among women for its chunky, futuristic look. Now, Nike’s got yet another WMNS exclusive pair in the pipeline for Spring/Summer 2025.

It immediately gives off OG colorway energy for its resemblance to the White/Silver colorway, but Nike made the right choice by swapping out the matte grey look with a soothing cream-like shade. It spans from the toe to heel, with the embossed plating adding dimension to an otherwise subtle shoe. White leather hits the upper collar and ankle as well as the toe cap, while the signature Bright Crimson Shox cushion columns sit at the heel for that tech visibility.

The popularity of the Shox R4 is proof that tech-heavy running silhouettes are all the rage; the upcoming Nike Pegasus Premium also has potential to cross over from the performance platform to the lifestyle front.

This Nike Shox R4 is set to arrive on Nike.com and Nike Sportswear retailers soon for $150; see the official images ahead for full details.
