Matt Varga With Nike’s investment call taking place about a day before this publishes, the landscape in Beaverton is clear: their “staple models” are a shrinking piece of the pie for the Swoosh. Reducing the volume of the Air Force 1, Dunk, and Air Jordan 1 necessarily means increasing the volume of other models in that zero-sum calculation. Of various silhouettes that have seen increased numbers as a part, we’d wager that the Nike Shox line is one of the serious benefactors.
Now spanning five distinct models, the Nike Shox R4 and the Shox TL stand as the truest bring-backs of the Y2K cushioning platform. The model at hand has had success in keeping to its original synthetic build, but also with experimental fabrics and textures. The suede layout seen here is one of the more noteworthy, doubling down on the refined air it brings to the Shox R4 with a sleek black and silver edition. Nocturnal shades define almost all of the real estate on this version, save for the Shox columns themselves, carrying the spirit of the aughts with chrome hits at the very rear.
As an earnest GR, the Nike Shox R4 “Black Suede” doesn’t carry a concrete release date. In place of one, expect this shoe to hit Nike.com and partnering retailers without warning in the coming weeks, arriving in women’s sizing for $155.
