Nike is prepared to ride Shox’s momentum into a new year. After reviving the piston-powered product line in 2024 with a three-pronged approach across the Shox R4, Shox TL, and Shox Ride 2, the newest entrant, Beaverton creatives are beginning to get a bit creative with these 2000s canvases, precisely the case with the Shox R4 “Floral.”

It’s a twofold approach that sets this release apart, illustrated on both fronts by the titular floral quarter panel. Rather than the usual leather and synthetic textures we’ve seen on the model so far in its retro run, the Shox R4 delivers fabric siding, a vintage-inspired medium to deliver the flora promised in its title. The sheer, embroidered quality of those hits calls to mind recent iterations on the idea like the LeBron 22 “Grandma’s Couch,” but it’s a more incognito execution given its cloaked appearance from afar. Other Nike Valentine’s Day 2025 pairs may offer a fuller embrace of the Holiday, but few provide eminent wearability the way this one does.

This floral Shox R4 releases in women’s sizing this Spring, maintaining its standard $150 retail price. Catch detailed images ahead to get well-acquainted as we count down to this pair’s arrival — you can keep up with any and all updates via our Sneaker Release Dates landing page.
