With Nike Sportswear applying the satiny Foamposite touch to a whole bunch of different kicks lately, here’s one with a design that’s nearly as crazy on its own. The Nike Shox R4 is one of the original spring-cushioned Swoosh runners from early in the ’00s, the running counterpart to Vince Carter’s Shox BB4 basketball shoe. That’s where the overlap had ended though, with Shox cushioning receding from the hardwood in place of Max and Zoom Airs and recently, LunarLight foam. Well, now the R4 has another connection to Nike Basketball, as the new model pictured above has been infused with the unmistakable Posite touch in the Eggplant colorway that’s been very popular of late. Stick with Sneaker News for more on this Spring 2011 release and let us know what you think of the latest purple people movers.

I don't think many sneakerheads are crazy about Shox so an eggplant colourway is pointless. Needless to say they should just stop it with the other Eggplants and maybe not have made the original foams so limited.
