Can we comfortably say that the Nike Shox marketing moment is over? Surely, we’re still spotting Nike’s piston powered platforms out and about on some of the more forward-thinking dressers on city streets, but it does feel like Beaverton devoting its resources, collaborative or otherwise, has slowed down a bit even as the family of silhouette persists cultural.
Without those spotlight moments, it’s left to the Nike Shox R4, TL, Ride 2, NZ, and any models in between to impress on their own accord. The Nike Shox R4 has aims of doing exactly that with the “Black/Challenge Red” look featured here, eschewing the chromed-out combinations that defined its early run for a far more nocturnal overhaul. Jet black dominates the surface area of this variation, carving out space in the Swoosh outline and outsole trim for some fiery interplay.
Look for the Nike Shox R4 “Black/Challenge Red” to touch down via Nike.com and partnering retailers before the end of the year. A $155 retail price is expected.
