Nike Shox have come and gone over the years, but the running series’ current stint isn’t like others from the past. On top of originally colorways and other looks rooted in the Y2K era, the Beaverton brand has been exploring uncharted territory when it comes to materials. Exhibit A; this “Cement Grey” Shox R4 for women featuring a texture swap to suede.

Joined by a “Brown/Green” Shox R4 in Nike’s Summer/Fall 2025 catalog, the design drops synthetic material in favor of suede across the sidewalls. The upper portion abides by tradition in leather/mesh, taken in the same shade as the Swoosh and Shox cushioning.

The women’s Nike Shox R4 “Cement Grey” doesn’t have a concrete release date, but we’ll update this article and post on the @sneakernews X once pairs become available. For now, enjoy detailed images below.
