Originally designed to support a runner's stride, Nike Shox springs deliver responsive cushioning. The upper is a near-exact replica of the original 2001 Nike Shox model. The modified outsole, with a circular waffle pattern, offers ideal traction. A recrafted version of the early 2000s icon, the Nike Shox R4 replicates the original with its futuristic design lines and performance-like cushioning. Nike Shox columns in the heel distribute weight to maximize comfort while providing a bold look on the streets.
